It’s simply that time of year. I don’t usually buy flavored coffee, but for whatever reason, I decided to go for it this time. I think the Green Mountain Coffee Marketing Department totally sucked me in with their “Limited Edition!!” ploy. I can’t miss out! Throw it in the cart!! HURRY! I’m such a sucker. … Read more
I seem to be on a pancake kick recently – but ’tis the season for warm breakfasts after all! Let’s roll with it. After I spied a small zucchini hanging out in the fridge this morning and feeling very much in the mood for something substantial after an early morning bike ride, I decide to … Read more
The coffee maker is cranky. Coffee Maker cannot figure out why all these baking supplies are out at such an ungodly hour of the morning. Coffee Maker is cranky and hot and does not like to be crowded. But you see Coffee Maker, it’s all because of the zucchini from yesterday’s CSA pick up. This … Read more
I’d love to be able to tell you that my kids are vegetable chow hounds. I have blog with “vegetables” and “kids” in the tag line after all, shouldn’t it follow that I get to tell tales of my little posse begging for broccoli, beans and beets? Shouldn’t I be writing posts about how easy … Read more

Didn’t a recipe for a bitter chocolate pumpkin cake land in my … Read more
My camera has seen better days. And no, taking this picture could not wait even a single second for me to take off my hat or jacket. Apparently the front cover of my camera lost its lust for life about a month or so ago. It’s barely holding on here. I had to resort to … Read more
I typically get up somewhere in the 6 o’clock hour, without an alarm. Most people would not call this lazy – but really, that’s exactly what it is. My kids stay up late you see, and there are different reasons for this fact – some a bit closer to the real truth than others. It … Read more
This post is a figment of your imagination. Or is it? I didn’t expect to have a chance to run or post this morning. But here I am, having unexpectedly run and now unexpectedly posting. How unexpected. When an opportunity to run this morning presented itself, I jumped at it. Zak worked from home, the … Read more
My morning activity was decided for me today when I let Maxine cry just a little too long hoping she’d fall back to sleep. She did fall back to sleep once I laid down with her a few minutes, but Zak did not fall back to sleep – and thus deciding to go into work … Read more
