It’s been years since I walk the busy cobblestone streets of Colombia filled with street vendors in the center of town. A tropical country with a warm climate and an abundance of fresh fruit year round. How I loved to sample all the wonderful assortment of tropical fruits, delicious street food and beverages unique to that country. Salpicón was one of those treats I never forgot. I actually searched for the recipe I while back but couldn’t find one, then just last week I found out my aunt makes this all the time!...
There is no way to put this mildly, but 2012 was a pretty crappy year for my family considering we had 4 members who ended up in the hospital, and one very untimely death of my brother-in-law. Additionally, given the number of tragic events that unfolded this year, especially in Newtown, Connecticut, there appears to be a sense of loss that surrounds us. I suppose all you can do is cherish the memories and realize that nothing lasts forever, and that every story, every love story, has a time limit....

We recently had spring break for the kiddos. We decided to take a trip down to Moab. I have lived in Utah my entire life and never been there. And I have been missing out! We rented a jeep to take down there for Jeep Weekend. Now, I am getting pretty big and pregnant. I am nearing the end! We tried to keep the trails easy for me. But the hubby would always underestimate the length of things just so I would go!...
Crustless Sausage and Spinach Quiche Spinach and Ricotta Quiche and Chicken Quiche are so popular on my site, but I often get asked how to make it crustless. For this low-carb version, I made this with no crust, with chicken sausage and spinach plus I used some light cream to give the eggs more of a creamier custard texture, as most quiches have rather than a spongier baked egg texture....

It was pretty last minute, I wanted to go before my older daughter had to go back to school.

For starters, this was the view outside of my balcony… The African theme throughout the lodge really made you feel like you were on a different continent, from the grass and bamboo hut ceilings, African wildlife roaming all around the grounds and the beat of live African drums in the lobby – I loved everything about it....
