I LOVE spices! I can’t imagine not having a stocked spice cabinet. I grew up with a mom who had a stocked spice cabinet and now I am a mom with a stocked spice cabinet. I can only hope I’m passing my love of spices to my boys as well.

I’ve started a new series on Instragram called #DailyYogurt and this one just needed to be shared on the blog.
It was a filling, indulgent bowl of yumminess!

Sometimes I’ll see a food photo and say,
“MAN Why didn’t I think of that?!”
That’s what happened this weekend when I did a quick google search for butternut squash ideas.

This morning I checked my email to find one of Kalyn’s latest post, Wake-Up-Your-Mouth Thai Cucumber Salad and I immediately knew what I was making for lunch.
Of course I modified the idea using what I had on hand. The result couldn’t have been more satisfying! It was fresh, light, tasty, and REALLY filling. I guess eating a whole large cucumber will do that to you!
