Picture yourself browsing through the food section of a bookstore. You pick up a cookbook and it is perfect. The recipes are easy to make, varied according to your tastes, and miraculously you like every single recipe in there! Therein lies the concept of the custom cookbook. All you need is a binder, some sheet protectors, […]
As mentioned in the food section of this website, if left to my own devices I would eat power bars, cereal and mac n’ cheese for dinner every night. Partly out of laziness, partly out of being exhausted after a long day at work, partly out of not owning a single ingredient to cook with […]
I came across this poem and immediately felt it was something worth keeping. You may have read it before - if so, it can’t hurt to read it again. Gratitude is something I work to cultivate every day (not just around the holidays), but it’s during these weeks when I’m spending a lot of time […]

First, thanks for visiting the site! Second, I want to ask you a question. How many times have you thought of an idea, errand or task while driving or otherwise out-and-about and completely forgot what it was when the time came around to make it happen? I do carry a notebook for these sorts of […]
Hi Everyone,
