When I went to visit a friend a few months ago, she made an amazing vegan tuscan pasta recipe from rabbitandwolves.com; I knew my husband would love the sun-dried tomatoes so I decided to work on a similar version at home. Below is what I ended up with – let me know what you think…
Every year around Christmas, my husband and I try to spend a day making cookies. It usually ends up on December 23rd or 24th, but last year we were actually home on Christmas so we made them then and it was really special. Since we like to make a lot of different kinds, we end…
I’ve always loved any kind of crafting, so when one of my friends asked if I wanted to come over for a craft night and make Christmas trees out of maps, it was an immediate yes. They turned out so cute and are the perfect Christmas decoration for a coffee table or dining table centerpiece….

About a month ago, I was checking Instagram stories and my favorite Peloton strength instructor, Callie, posted that she was making taco soup.
