Spring has Sprung and so has the Parsley. Parsley is a fantastic early spring green, providing a fresh intoxicating flavor and a spectacular crunch. It is perfect for introducing our digestive systems to the fresh veggies we can’t wait to crunch into when our Farmers Market finally opens. Once I spy the dark leafy green […]
I love biting into a piping hot spoon of potatoes; steam dancing over my face. The aromatic notes of herb, garlic, onion and the earthy potatoes caressing my oral factory receptors. Heat warming my lips before the hot creamy contents of the spoon hit the top of my mouth, then melt over my tongue, and… […]
The last few months, damn, am I right? The Astrologers say that 2020 is the year to start anew, to work with your blank canvas. This resonates for me on so many levels. They also say that this will not be easy, that the karma from your past will play little tricks on you, pushing […]
I have signed up for a 52 Week Hiking challenge! I have learned that I need #prompts for all things: reading, writing, parenting, learning, cooking, and definitely with fitness. I was looking for the perfect way to get my booty out of my house and hiking would be just the thing. I wasn’t quite sure […]

#Writing Prompt: We’ve all seen it, a whole #post of #hashtags, that somehow in our #soundbite laden #reality seem to make #totalsense. It’s #poetry, in essence. I made a #post #today, full of #hashtags #ofcourse, on #Instagram. I was #completelyamazed at the enormous #variety of #hashtags that #exist and how #often they are #used. And […]
While pursuing my degree I consistently dealt with the impostor syndrome that I developed at the young age of 12 (another story for another time). This was especially evident in my art and art history classes. I felt so unworthy of being in art museums and galleries and presenting my own art for critique. I […]
Eating on the run is not something I’m experienced at. I’m typically afforded long days of home and garden tasks intermingled with self-care (which you’d think I’d be better at!) and have ample time for quiet un-interrupted lunches.
