Favorite Road Trip Snacks

I love road trips. And, I love eating. Combine the two and I’m like, whoa! It’s so much fun. Ha! What’s not fun, though, is the mess it can sometimes be when you’re eating on the go. It’s so easy to grab some handy, disposable on-the-go containers and make our own “fast food.” Although I love to stop and eat at fast food joints as we travel, it really is more economical and healthier to pack our own snacks. My favorite road trip snacks are easy to pack, healthier choices, and also a lot of fun.

Parmesan Ricotta Spinach Pasta

Does it seem like every single Pin It & Spin It lately has been food? That’s probably because it has. Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve had more time to cook. Or, is it more time to peruse Pinterest? Either way, there’s been more cooking and eating going on around here lately. And, I’m not mad about that at all. Especially when the eatin’ is Parmesan Ricotta Spinach Pasta.

Washi Photo Display Hack

If you’re anything like me, you probably have stacks of vacation photos laying around. I’ve had these fun hard-back photos from my Las Vegas vacation in my craft room for nearly two years. And, while they’re fun to pull out and flip through, I’d sort of like for some of them to be on display. So, i came up with a fun washi photo display hack. These fun 3D photo collages are perfect for sitting on my craft room shelf with all the bright and colorful crafty things I love to show off.

Lemon Crumb Cake Recipe Review

When life hands you lemons, decide to conduct a Lemon Crumb Cake recipe review. Because, there’s no better way to swallow the bitter taste of failure than with a warm-from-the-oven lemon cake topped with lemony cheesecake and a crumb topping that would melt anyone’s heart.

I may have taken a literary moment there for the sake of a good opening statement. There’s been no real failure around here lately, despite my slight moping around feeling uninspired and uncreative. Not creative? You know what I mean.  [Read more…] about Lemon Crumb Cake Recipe Review
