6 Weeks to a healthier you!

Monthly Book Club: The Sweet Smell of Christmas

I believe I’ve mentioned before, but in case you weren’t listening… CHRISTMAS IS MY FAVORITE. I love everything about it. So I was especially excited for Book Club this month. I chose an old classic, The Sweet Smell of Christmas* by Patricia M. Scarry {you can purchase it HERE*}. It’s actually a scratch-and-sniff book, which…

Snowman Marshmallow Pops

 I told you I love marshmallow pops! I don’t think I will ever stop making them 🙂 These snowmen were so fun to make! I happen to really like how they turned out. When Sophie saw them, however, she said “Mom. They need hats.” *sigh* You can’t please everyone.

TCMB Top 10: Recipes

1.  Quinoa Burgers – This recipe from Eating Well Living Thin is one of my family’s favorite meals. We could probably eat it every night, for the rest of forever.
