Fro-Yo Dots

This was a Pinterest project.  It was one of the earlier things that popped up on the site and looked too easy to actually work, which is why I’ve taken so long to try it.  Turns out, it works and couldn’t be easier.  Just take your favorite flavor of Greek yogurt, put it in a…

Inspiration Station: You Don’t Mess With The Zohan

It may be a weird choice, but I’d like to look at You Don’t Mess With The Zohan for this month’s movie.  I admit, it’s a stupid movie, but as much as I tried to roll my eyes, I found myself laughing through much of it.  Oh Adam Sandler, I have such a soft spot for…

Banana Bites

Lindsay and I had planned an evening in to drink wine and watch Modern Family (she needed to catch up on last season’s finale before this week’s season premiere).  I knew there wouldn’t be much time to cook a full dinner, but we didn’t want to settle for takeout and Linds needed to use up…

Apples with Sunflower Butter and Granola
