The other day, a friend of mine at school mentioned that she used cauliflower rice in a recipe. I had heard of cauliflower rice before, but I really didn’t know anything about it, and I never cooked with it before. I like eating cooked cauliflower, so I was intrigued by the concept. I had no clue how cauliflower was made…

Peppermint Mocha Cookies
One of my favorite coffee drinks is a peppermint mocha. And, in my opinion, Starbucks has the best peppermint mochas! Anyone have other favorite peppermint mochas?

2017, Where Have You Gone??
I am not a big New Year’s resolution person. It’s totally fine if you are, it just doesn’t ever workout for me. Except twice. In 2015, a friend and I made a goal to run 15 races that year. We finished on December 31, 2015…in the dark…but we did it! The following year, she and I ran a half marathon…
