Oscar the Grouch Pancakes (gluten free, dairy free)

Lost Amid the Snow

I am anything but lost when it comes to snow.  In fact, when I am perched at the top of a mountain, staring at miles upon miles of endless snow covered mountains and trees, I am more found than I am any day in my normal life.  I am invigorated.  I am challenged.  I am [...]

Six Weeks (till Christmas)

I’m about to become one with my kitchen.  I’m channeling my inner baker, scrounging up some love for non stop dish washing, and preparing for a lot of resistance from a certain 2 year old. Our fridge is barren. Snack drawers are empty except for forgotten ziplocks of dry cereal and cheese puffs.  Tomorrow I’ll [...]
