I know. I know. I haven’t been around IG lately. I miss you guys! Life has been messy. Jeff’s still healing from his surgery. There have been a ton of Dr. appointments. Then, our sister-in-law passed away. Our hearts break for my brother-in-law. He spent 20 years searching for the love of his life. 8 years and 10 days after finding her and marrying she was taken from him.😭 Then, my back went out. Then, I got the flu. Yesterday Jeff had a chest X-ray done and after his appointment we went for a walk. In the middle of it his Dr. called and ordered him to go to the E.R. because it appeared that his lower left lung was collapsing. So we rush to the hospital. It was collapsed less than 5%!!! We really didn’t need to be there ,but we’re grateful the doctors are erring on the cautious side. Through all of this craziness there’s a 🌈. As a family we say “I love you” and we hug a lot more. We just never know when it’s going to be taken from us. I guess I shared this photo of peanut butter pretzel granola because it’s sweet & salty. Kind of like this beautiful thing we call life!!!! Love you guys!!! 💕💕💕💕. I sincerely hope life has been good to you lately! I’m sending hugs and positive vibes your way! If life’s been a bit rocky and you need to vent to someone - I’m all ears! Together we can get through anything!😘👍🙏🏻. #foodspotting #foodtographyschool #foodtography #tastespotting #feedfeed #huffposttaste #buzzfeast #buzzfeastfood #foodgawker #breakfast #foodishealing #ghirardelli #ghiradellichocolate #foodblogger

You know the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”! Well, I’m loading up my diet with Apple Spice Streusel Muffins! Things have been a little quiet on my end here on IG. My favorite bounce board holder/proofreader went through a major surgery a few weeks ago. After a week-long hospital stay, we are thankfully back at home. We are trying to get back in the swing of things. Life has been full of doctors’ appointments, RX runs, and naps! I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen! Until then, I’ll leave you with these goodies!

Well, I did it! Today I published my first blog post! With shaking hands & a nervous stomach I pushed the publish button. Is it normal to be so nervous? About posting a recipe? I suppose it’s more about putting yourself out there for the whole world to see. Does anyone else get nervous when trying something new?If you would like to check out my recipe for these delicious chocolate chip & toasted oatmeal cookies head over to yumsandkisses.com. I would be honored to have you visit!

Well, I did it! Today I published my first blog post! With shaking hands & a nervous stomach I pushed the publish button. Is it normal to be so nervous? About posting a recipe? I suppose it’s more about putting yourself out there for the whole world to see. Does anyone else get nervous when trying something new?If you would like to check out my recipe for these delicious chocolate chip & toasted oatmeal cookies head over to yumsandkisses.com. I would be honored to have you visit!
