Happy New Year (For the Last Time)

It is with a certain amount of bittersweet regret that I say that, as far as I can tell, this will be my last post from this blog.  I have decided to start a new one with different goals, different vibes, and a different place in my life.  This blog has been the inconsistent constant throughout several years of my life but sometimes, to get the freshest perspective, you just have to start all over again.  I'll let you know where to find me soon and I hope you'll still be a part of my journey!

Wellness Wednesday: The Best Hot Toddy

I have caught some sort of gunk that makes many things a challenge.  Mostly the little things, like breathing and sleeping.  As I contemplated what I would post about for Wellness Wednesday (can one even post about wellness when they're sick?  Isn't that how black holes are created?), I sipped my hot toddy.  My perfect, throat-soothing, congestion-easing, sleep-inducing hot toddy.  And I thought, "well kid, there's your answer."  Sometimes I talk to myself like I'm a 1920s gangster.  Anyway....

Corned Beef and Cabbage: A St. Patrick's Day Tradition

I wanted to make sure I posted this recipe well in advance of St. Patrick's Day so you'd have time to get all the ingredients and plan your own feast!  Homemade corned beef is unbelievably delicious and so so easy to make!  How easy?
