This recipe is just too, toooooo good not to share. One of the workers at Amanda’s Lady Bug Acres (the Veggie Barn) here in Fargo made these dark, chocolatey yummies for her customers. I was blown away by how rich and decadent they were. She used, as the original recipe calls for, coconut sugar and unsweetened applesauce in placeContinue reading “Dutch-Chocolate Zucchini Brownies”

Tolerance
My jaw dropped this morning when the media released the story about how brutally and inhumanely a journalist’s life was ended.

Giving
My girl, Karla Winandy of Bell State Bank, asked my husband and me if we would like to give away $1000 of Bell State Bank’s Pay It Forward money. For those of you who know us, we often do random acts of kindnesses. They range from leaving a generous tip, to buying someone else’s coffee/mealContinue reading “Giving”

SQUIRREL!
“Oh, dear GOD, I am a lunatic!” I wasn’t belittling or abasing myself. No, this was more of an acknowledgement. Dear God, I am a LUNATIC. I caught myself saying this while doing what so many kazillion of us do; multi-tasking. Although for me, ‘multi’ doesn’t cut it anymore. I came up with a newContinue reading “SQUIRREL!”

Jonesing
It occurred to me just the other day, after years and years and YEARS of bingeing on processed sugar (most specifically, anything chocolate), that I am an addict. I actually said those words out loud two weeks ago and I know it’s true. I was out of control with my sugar consumption and when IContinue reading “Jonesing”

Morning
As my two year old daughter lay sleeping, I was thrilled to be able use the potty ALONE. It’s a total luxury and one that doesn’t often happen (right, moms?!).
