Cori | May 11, 2010

Well, I am just SO thrilled! The Lay’s Happiness Exhibit has chosen my photo as Photo of the Day on their website! To see it up close and personal go here (at least for today… tomorrow it will probably be gone…) And check out some other photos while you’re there. There are so many fun [...]

Happiness

Cori | May 1, 2010

On Easter Sunday Garret, Amalie and I decided to do it up with the full ham dinner. We bought the smallest ham we could find (and still have TONS in the freezer), made cheesy potatoes, Grandma Eddie’s rolls, and a wonderful spinach salad. The dinner was delicious and the day was peaceful and reflective. We [...]

Autumn Beauty

Cori | October 2, 2009

After eavesdropping on a couple of friends who are giving themselves a new photo challenge each week, I have decided to do something similar. I’ve missed my camera! This week’s theme is all about the beauty that Autumn presents us in all her glorious colors. We always talk about Spring being a new beginning. But, [...]

Homemade Bread, Something Cool to Drink, Etc.

Cori | July 15, 2009

I have been working on making a great loaf of homemade bread again. I use to make bread all the time, but haven’t regularly for several years. I’ve been experimenting with different recipes and trying new things and today’s attempt turned out really well; I’m pleased! The Cinnamon-Swirl loaf looks very good this time – [...]

Workin’ It

Cori | July 8, 2009

Time to check in and be accountable for my projects. Does anyone else feel like once you start a project, it has a life of it’s own and it anxiously awaits completion? I didn’t feel this until a couple of years ago when I was sorting and organizing the closet in our office/craft room. Suddenly [...]

Happy Pies

Cori | July 7, 2009

Hey! It’s nice to be back! Garret and I spent a week in Arizona for our youngest daughter’s wedding (more on that later), and there was just way too much going on to keep up the blog. I missed every last one of you, though, and I’m so happy to be back! Tonight is our [...]

Adventures with Mung Beans

Cori | April 17, 2009

Mung Beans turned out to be a favorite. The sprouted beans taste just like fresh peas straight from the garden! These are particularly yummy on a salad, but I found myself occasionally grabbing a bite straight from the fridge for a ‘snack’. And they were super easy to sprout. Try them and let me know [...]

Lettuce Sunflowers Alone…

Cori | April 9, 2009

Sunflower Lettuce?? Hmmmm… sounds… intriguing. Since I was shooting (punny?) for a lettuce replacement first and foremost, when I heard I could grow ‘lettuce’ from sunflower seeds, I was most curious and decided that would be my first sprouting experiment. The package on the Sunflower Sprouting Seeds I bought says, “Sunflower Lettuce is a favorite [...]
