August // 5 places you’ve visited, would love to go again, or new places you’d like to experience. I think these summer reverb prompts are written with me in mind, because food and travel are two of my favorite things. Let’s see if I can narrow down my list to only 5! Japan – My sister […]

Recipe – Peanut Sauce
Posting this recipe feels a little like cheating. Partly because I didn’t follow the recipe exactly (only adding those things which I had in my pantry), and partly because it was so easy. And then even being so easy, I also failed to follow the directions exactly. And it still came out pretty well. So […]

[…]
Recipe – Bran Muffins
Oh man guys. Guess who forgot to take a picture of finished muffins? The answer, in case you haven’t guessed, is this gal. “But Maggie,” you ask (plaintively), “How will we know if the muffins are any good if we can’t see a picture of the finished product?” Well, this is a case where you’re […]
