Fall has made it to San Antonio at last, at least for today that is. It was so great to have the windows open this morning and to spend the day outside. It’s such a relief to actually feel a breeze especially after we suffered through a really, really hot summer. I started my morning…

Behold the bounty from my son’s garden. We have so much fresh produce that it’s almost difficult to eat it all. I never thought I’d be saying that, but it’s true. Let me break it down for you. We harvested potatoes today for the first time, which was very exciting. We have never grown potatoes…

I love my Saturday morning routine. After breakfast I take my dog, my son and his bike and head over to the farmer’s market. I buy my produce then we go to the riverwalk where my son rides his bike and I walk my dog. It’s the perfect way to spend the morning. Since I’m…
Just a short time ago my Peets coffee was very important to me. I had a cup first thing in the morning every single morning. I loved the whole process of making it. I loved how the fresh whole beans smelled as I ground them. I loved filling my French press with hot water and…
