instant pot cheesecake
Last year, my husband got me an Instant Pot for Mother’s Day. I had been using an electric pressure cooker for years; but only for homemade Cuban style black beans. I never really used it much for anything else. When I saw the instant pot craze going on I honestly chuckled to myself…
#summerdessertweek frozen fruit cupcakes
Let’s face it: I am crazy. Not instututionalize crazy; but… pretty crazy to take on #summerdessertweek and add another child to our family days before. And, as much as I would love to be one of those bloggers that write out content weeks before, I am more one of those who’s lucky to…

a weekend update… and cupcakes
My beloved camera took the weekend off from me. Just when I needed him most. I created some neat little ice cream cone earrings and veggie magnets for my etsy store, went to grab Mr. Pentax and he went on strike. I tried to coax him with a nice lithium battery change… nothing….
