Cross your fingers for good weather because it looks like they'll break ground sometime next week! We got our approval letter and appraisal into the builder this morning and he's almost ready to go!

Marinated Cheese and PB&J Bars
I realized it's been awhile since I've posted a recipe so I decided to post two of my favorites! These are not really meant to be served at the same time; however, my harp students will be getting them both at group lessons tomorrow so I guess they can tell me what they think! The marinated ...

A housing history…

Glazed Raspberry Heart Scones
Happy early Valentine's Day! I meant to post this recipe earlier but this is the first chance I've gotten. I found this recipe on the Epicurious website 8 years ago and made it for one of the very first Valentine's Days that Steve and I spent together. It's a fairly easy recipe to make and the ...
