Hello, hello my friends! If anyone at all is reading this, welcome back! I don't feel as though I did that well this week, I did make a few purchases I didn't need. I think I feel as though I did very poorly because I had some purchases to make that aren't things I would… Continue reading No Spend November, week two.

Candy Candy Cookies
Well, it's officially December. Which means for me, it's officially Christmas season! And today, I used that as an excuse to make my all time favorite Christmas cookies- they're a staple from my childhood- candy cane cookies. First off, make sure you have a super cute helper. Make a batch of red and white dough:… Continue reading Candy Candy Cookies
Some Bumps in the No Spending Road
Me with a homemade fancy coffee I made with my milk frother I mentioned in my last post. So, the first couple of days of No Spend November were easy. November third was a bit hard. I knew it would be a tough challenge as I am a compulsive spender and I love takeout. And… Continue reading Some Bumps in the No Spending Road

Vegan Ice Cream
The healthier I eat, the more I am eating vegan meals. It is not an intentional thing, and often I don't even realize what I have eat is vegan until after I have consumed it. This 'ice cream' has been my go to sweet treat for a while. It's pretty much a smoothie to be… Continue reading Vegan Ice Cream
Let’s Have Some Marshmallows
OK, so I have some weird obsession with homemade marshmallows. Much like my fascination with Finland, it has no root from which it grew, and was just there, one day, fully formed. I have spent much time searching for the perfect marshmallow recipe, and found it, I believe I have. If you haven't tried homemade,… Continue reading Let’s Have Some Marshmallows
