Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
Hello! I hope that you all had a happy Christmas, or a relaxed few days if you do not celebrate it. I attempted to take part in Blogmas but unfortunately I just couldn’t get it together and only published four posts.

I find short stories are great to delve into now again for a change of pace. I know some people do not enjoy them as you don’t have a long time with the characters or in the world that is created, but I think that this can make it even more interesting. An author can […] Read more…
I know I have a lot of cookie recipes on my blog, and most are choc chip…but I like cookies, alright?! I enjoy trying new combinations and seeing what works (sometimes I regret this when I am craving cookies and create a new recipe only to be left with something inedible!). This recipe came about […] Read more…
