As the weather gets warmer, there is little I crave more than pasta salad. It can admittedly get old quickly though (simply because I eat it so often), so I like to change it up. This pasta s...

April is one of my favorite months. It's the time when spring finally feels like it's here, and it's also Earth Month, which has always been special to me. As many of you know, I ran an eco-f...

I think I'm in the minority, but I really dislike when it snows. I mean, I'm good with it in December and December only. After that, it's just a reminder that winter is still here, something ...

I don't want to jinx anything, but 2022 has been a whole lot better than 2020 and 2021. I mean, that's not saying much, but still. It's just seemed, I don't know, calmer? There's still a lot o...
