I think I'm in love. Or maybe I'm just confused because my hubby is off in Russia this week and I'm just trying to fill the void. Whatever the case, these Maple Walnut Apple Chips are addictive. Just look at that name and tell me that your mouth doesn't start to water. I had pretty high expectations, even though I'm not usually a fan of dried fruit. Partly because this is an Anna Olson recipe (I "love" her) and partly because the description sounded too good to be true. Let me tell you. These blew me out of the water and...

Although, the description does fit it well because it is a fresh assembly of bursting berries and crisp granola clusters, topped with sour cream and brown sugar. See? All in the title there. This is the epitome of simple. In fact, it can hardly be called a recipe. But, it is a combination that I wouldn't have thought of without some inspiration from another source. Sour cream may seem an odd thing to add to berries, but that tartness along with the sweetness...

I'm sure you're not interested in the minuscule details of my goals so I'll keep this brief. I haven't been able to settle in one spot for very long this past year and it's made a routine very hard to come by. Now that the future is looking a little more settled I thought 10in10 was the perfect way to help me start that routine. My goals are to exercise more and eat...

Normally I do look forward to each season by the time it hits, but this year it has been a bit of a struggle. The colors are now starting to change, a cool refreshing breeze is in the air and people are getting into their kitchens and baking up a storm, myself included. So, what is there not to get excited about, right? Whenever I think of fall, I think of school. And, whenever I think of school, I think of apples....

And, in an effort to do both that and rectify this nectarine disaster I made these Strawberry Nectarine Popsicles. I am not sure if I could have chosen a rainier week to do so, but if I close my eyes and freeze my tongue I am able to pretend that the sun is shining and my tan's not fading. Lucky for me my son is too young to realize that popsicles are something that every little kid dreams about and my husband is not the biggest popsicle...
