Let It Snow!!!
A few cool fun facts and benefits of the fluffy white stuff.. Okay, so most of you know I would much rather lounge on a sandy beach any day rather than be pelted with a snowball. And Although Hawai’i will always be home in our hearts, we have been able to appreciate the beautiful mountains and snowfalls in Denver and Boise.

All Aboard the Polar Express!!
Golden, Colorado Believe In the Magic! It’s that time of year when smiles are brighter, the air chillier and childhood memories are aglow with holiday cheer!

Scrumptious Mixed Greens and Fruit Salad Recipe!
Thanks Mern for making my new favorite salad!! So glad you recreated the recipe from your friend Christian and they were generous enough to pass the recipe along! The salad was hearty and filling while still coming off very flavorful and light. It managed to hit absolutely every single one of my taste buds and left me completely full happy about the caloric intake at the same time. Total Win/Win! For my version of this winner I also added pears and a dash of mint and ….bam, pow,Wow!! So often, we are scrambling for a great meal to serve for larger gatherings, and end up selecting options that are delicious…
