It’s that vibrant color that gets me every time. I mean, I know it’s just hummus and all, but all that color just makes me SO happy. PLUS, this really isn’t just any old hummus. This hummus will solve all your days problems and then some. For example, Monday I had to take Asher to school… that right there should tell you there will be problems ahead. If you know Asher, than you know that getting her ready and out of the house is maybe one of the hardest things ever…especially with the cat around....

Okay, and I do always make a cheese board when entertaining....

Personally, I am really into them right now. I’ve been on a bit of a superfoods kick ever since I spent all of January planning, creating and photographing super healthy, real food recipes. I promise though, nothing too out there with super weird ingredients…well, except the maca powder in this hot chocolate. Read about maca below.

I mean it feels like Tuesday, but word on the street is that is most definitely Wednesday. You guys, I have started like 10 different paragraphs and then proceeded to delete all of them. My brain is just not thinking properly. Honestly, I do not think it is functioning at ALL today. Ugh. You know what else? I am so intimidated by fish. It’s so delicate and um can be rather…....

Happiest Saturday everyone! I had big plans to share a new cocktail with you all today, but then it hit me that I have SO MANY cocktail recipes from years past.

Or really, who they remind me of? Cookie Monster! You know, from sesame Street. If you don’t know then where the heck have you been and what on Earth did you watch on TV growing up?

You’d think it was 90 degrees here, humid and sunny. Yeah, like 90 degrees would ever happen around here.
