The delicata squash softens up when roasted, and the shaved raw fennel adds texture. The vegetables are tossed with a simple vinaigrette made… Read More Roasted Delicata Squash with Fennel, Pistachio and Pomegranate Seeds

We ordered lunch from Bay Cities, but I wanted to try make the cake myself. Baking things seems more personal to me. I… Read More Viva Paper Towel Method
This is a great project, even for a beginner. If you can cut triangles and sew in a straight line, you have all the skills you need. I prefer sewing it, but you could use Stitch Witchery in a pinch.

We often forget that our skin is our largest organ. Everything we put on our skin can be absorbed into the body. Maybe you eat organic, whole foods.
