Sorry for the delay & please stay tuned!

Well hello everyone!  I just did the math...and haven't posted for 7 months.  Have I forgotten about blogging?  Absolutely not.  Do I desire to blog?  Absolutely.  I write blog posts in my head probably 4 times a day.  Seriously.  I love reading about food.  I love looking at food.  I love cooking food.  I love hearing that someone tried a recipe I wrote about.  I love bumping into a mom at church or the beach who has read my blog and just wants to say hi...Jay thinks it's hilarious and laughs a little.  I truly enjoy it!

So what have the last 7 months brought for me?  A complete new inspiration for a new blog.  New blog address.  New blog topics.  New blog header photos (which have already been taken!).  A new design.  Lots of vision and dreaming time.

But more dear to our hearts than any of that...saying goodbye to our sweet Nate who now lives in Heaven with Jesus.  Most of you reading this already know this news...but some of you may not.   Almost 5 months ago, our exactly 5 month old son Nate peacefully went to live with Jesus.  Here's a photo of our little man...taken that morning.  


We love him and miss him...but we are so proud of him.  We have the peace that passes all understanding, which only comes from knowing God...and know with all our hearts that Nate is with Jesus and that we will indeed see him again.  What more could we want for our son!

So...will this new blog get up and running soon?!  Absolutely!!  Just in the right time for our family:)

In the meantime....I HAVE to share this cookie recipe...hands down the best cookie in the house.  Absolutely breakfast friendly...unfortunately not lunch box friendly due to the nuts.  Love these.  They freeze well, store well, stay fresh for a few days on the counter...if they last:)  They don't have a bit of "you can tell these are healthy but I just want a treat" funny taste...they taste gourmet!  Who doesn't love that?  Anyhow...try them yourself and let me know what you think!  Thank you to Angela at Oh She Glows...the first food blog I ever started following...check her out!  The recipe is perfect as-is...didn't change a thing!

Many blessings on each of your homes this weekend...see you soon!
