I love watermelon, never did as a kid, but now….can’t get enough. So as we are coming to the end of summer, grab the last of the watermelons while you can. I never thought of carving them but once I carved letters into one, now the possibilities are endless. I chose to do mine for a …

But instead of buying turf, which could get expensive…you can buy an artificial grass rug at your local home improvement store for less than $20! I found mine in the …
Some days you just need soup. To warm up, to fill up, to eat less ‘other’ things…well for me, mostly the later, especially in January after all of the holiday yummy food. I set out to find a simple black bean recipe. Most important? Honestly, that I had all the ingredients on hand and no waiting …
