Iced Coffee All Day, Everyday – Thanks to Pinterest

I love me some coffee! I love me some iced coffee. What I don’t love is paying a ton of money for it, and if I do, it better be damn good. Now, there are many places where you can find a decent iced coffee in Central Phoenix, but that’s…

Avocado Kale Salad

I’m the type of person who needs to eat every three hours, at least, or I start to feel like I’m going to pass out. This isn’t a problem when I’m at home, but it’s a different story when I have to work. The challenge with having to work is…

Make Your Own Chai Tea Concentrate, Thanks to Pinterest

I’m a sucker for Chai tea. My problem is that I don’t like to pay for it. If I’m going to spend $5 on a drink at a coffee shop, I have to choose something with espresso, because I can make chai tea at home. Unfortunately, I can’t say the…

From Potatoes to Gin, Rosemary’s on the Menu Thanks to Pinterest

I realized recently that I’ve probably been giving you the wrong impression about me and about Pinterest.  If you know only what you’ve read these past three weeks you might be inclined to think that all I’m interested in is junk food.  If you’re not a Pinterest junkie you might think…

From Pinterest to Real Life: Valentine’s Day Heart Cake

If you’re on Pinterest you’ve probably seen the Heart Cake. It’s a white four-layer cake with a red heart baked into the center originally found here. I’ve never been crazy about Valentine’s Day. I’m not a girly-girl, I don’t care too much for pink or hearts, and yet – there’s…
