Breakfast for Dinner

Usually when I am home alone for the evening, I like to have breakfast (Jon would never be satisfied with a bowl of cereal for dinner). Tonight, I decided to make crepes. These lovely thin pancakes can seem intimidating, but they are quite easy to make, and you can alter the recipe easily. I tried this recipe, which is the first time I have ever used a crepe recipe (I have always made up the recipe as I go), and they turned out delicious. Try pairing them with different toppings such as homemade jam, lemon curd, or Nutella. You can also health-ify this recipe and use whole wheat flour and agave instead of sugar. Some things to remember while making crepes; don't let the pan get too hot, using a nonstick skillet is best, and don't walk away from the stove while you are making them. So open a bottle of French wine, grab your omelet pan, and bon appetit!

#stayhome

I look at this photo and it seems ages ago. I took it while laying in the sun on a hotel rooftop in Miami. In reality, it was only taken 3 weeks ago today almost to the minute. Since then, a pandemic has taken this world by storm. Mother Nature is shouting from the rooftops and people are being forced to listen. We are being told to stay home, don't leave the house unless necessary, and practice social distancing. Such a funny term: social distancing. What will this do to human connection? To human culture? Behavior? Our future perspective in this world is about to go through a massive shift. "Are you ready for this," Mother Nature asks? I sure wasn't. I have been learning so much about myself in the past 2 weeks. How does one react in vastly unknown and uncertain times? I am no longer in a rush to do things. It's strange, I never felt that hurried before but now there is ample time to focus on things I didn't spend that much time on before. Connectin...

Superbowl Bites

Even though I played sports in high school and I like to watch sporting events, I don't follow sports teams too closely. However, I have many fond memories growing up watching football games on Sunday and Monday nights in front of a crackling fire and snacking on mom's appetizers. So to me, watching the Superbowl is about being with friends, eating some comfort food, and yelling at the guys who get paid millions of dollars a year to catch a pigskin. My sister is hosting a Superbowl party this year and in order to keep her sanity, it's potluck style. Here are some of the bites I'm thinking about bringing.

Is this thing on??

So I found out that it's not a good thing to pay for a website, and then not blog on it for a few years. So in the blogging world, I've lost a few years of my life there. But in reality, so much has happened. I've taken on some new roles in both my professional and personal life, but I'll go on more in depth later on. For now, let's give this another go. Ready, set, Blog!
