Homemade Bagels
I love bagels! Always have. The problem is they don’t settle so well in my belly anymore, so I try to stay clear of them. It’s funny how things that you eat your entire life suddenly no longer agree with you once you hit mid-age! Quite frankly I find it annoying which is why I spend hours altering recipes that will not leave me feeling bloated and heavy. Healthy Homemade Bagels that actually taste yummy!! I did NOT think it was possible! This was another one of my tik tock finds that I altered a bit to make even healthier! The best part about it is they are SUPER simple…

Holiday Happy
I have to say I’m not much of a cocktail beverage type gal, BUT the other night our family went out for a little holiday celebration. My husband ordered what the restaurant had named “The Godfather”. Although most Godfather drinks consist of whiskey and amaretto, this yummy drink did not. A little bit of research and a trip to the liquor store left my hubby in the kitchen creating this delicious holiday cocktail! Pineapple Rum Punch AKA The Cindy LOU Drink….my husband named it after me. 🙂 Have kiddos? Don’t want to leave them out? Turn this cocktail into a delicious Mocktail by substituting the Rum for Ginger ale or…

Wooden Holiday Tags
These holiday tags have so many uses! Add them to a gift, hang them on a tree, or add to a wreath! These are just a few useful options. I love the way they pull a gift together. This is a great craft idea for any holiday. You can purchase the wood slices on amazon by clicking on the link below. There are many options for wood slices, but I like the size of the following 3.1-3/5 inches AND they have holes in the top which makes crafting easy! The following pack is a pack of 29 for $9.99! wood slices beads…..Again, so many options but I like the color…

My husband bought me a subscription to FAB, FIT, FUN about a year ago and one of my surprises was this super fun bag! I fell in love with the color! Although it was a popping pink, it was just that. Without design. I wanted something more! I went to work designing the front of my bag using my Cricut Maker and VIOLA this is what I came up with! I KINDA have a thing for pineapples this summer!

YUM!
I don’t know about you, but when the weather changes from winter cold to summer heat my belly cravings also change. Goodbye crockpot, hello grill! Soup comfort is quickly replaced by salads, grilled veggies and chicken! This was last night’s summer salad. Cucumber, chickpea, feta salad! Super easy to throw together and very tasty! Of course, Pinterest is my friend when it comes to exploring new recipes, but when I searched for a cucumber salad there were about a hundred different options to choose from! Japanese cucumber salad, creamy cucumber salad, Mediterranean cucumber salad. The list goes on. Hmmm…. Well, I decided to do what I do best…take a little…
