Oatie-nola and body bars

This is what can happen when you eyeball a baked goodie recipe: While we were at the store, I grabbed the ingredients to make more of Heatherโ€™s fabulous oaties (including regular unsalted butter. I still donโ€™t understand why they make salted butter in the first place, and why I always buy it by mistake). After…

She knows me?

After staying away from Teavana for quite a while โ€“itโ€™s an expensive habit, and I like my teas from Sunflower Market just as much- we made a little caffeine stop today.

Five for fry-day

1. Itโ€™s definitely fry-day over here! (Sorry for the bag pic, but I like my sp fries warm.. they taste better while driving) Iโ€™m kind of a sweet potato fry connoisseur, and theyโ€™re a relatively new thing in Tucson. A few restaurants started offering them only a couple of years ago. The best are at…

Goo goo ga ga

1. I just remembered I can drink kombucha again! Come here, you fizzy bottle of love. 2. Tom is the diaper king.. and I still kind of fail at it. Tom changes most of the diapers when heโ€™s home, but when itโ€™s just me, Iโ€™m just not as talented. Letโ€™s just say when she had…
