A blog about all the little things that make our lives a bit brighter.
Tis the season for all the Holiday beverages. Last year when Josh and I attended December Nights festival at Balboa Park we discovered Swedish Glogg. Josh had heard of it before because one his old bosses is from Sweden. I'm sure most people are more familiar with this drink outside of the States. Growing up…
For the past few years I've been getting more excited about Thanksgiving because I have taken on cooking more. Since Josh and I live across the country from our families, the past few years it has just been the two of us for Thanksgiving. I've enjoyed making the family recipes that I grew up on.…
Today we are sharing another Thanksgiving recipe with you! A staple at most Thanksgiving houses, green bean casserole. Having been a vegetarian the majority of my life I look forward to all the sides every year.
