What do you do with all that rhubarb? I’m sure there are a lot of options, but about the only thing I ever use it for is muffins. I mean, why try to fix a good thing?? This gluten-free muffin recipe is my go-to standard for almost any kind of fruit muffin — you can …
You know those people who do wildly ambitious things like biking or running or walking across the country? Why doesn’t someone cartwheel across the country…. somebody like me?!? Like seriously, that would be crazy fun! Except for the fact that half the trip would be upside down and I’d probably get a concussion from my …
Although my house has a decent amount of floor space for a cat to run around, I soon realized after becoming a two-cat home that we really needed more vertical space for climbing! I don’t particularly enjoy doing extensive research for bigger purchases. I just want someone to tell me what to buy and be …
Back in May 2020, it seemed like all the musicians would couldn’t play at concerts anymore were performing online, so I wanted to record something too, just for fun. The only trouble is I’m an accompanist now and haven’t performed or practiced solo repertoire for well over a decade. So I pulled out the old …

Can you remember the last time you opened your mailbox and were surprised to find a handwritten envelope addressed to you with a personal note inside? How did it make you feel? Did your heart leap with excitement, even just a little bit? I’ve always had a thing for snail mail. Back in the 90s …

I have almost no athletic abilities. Almost every attempt I’ve ever made to do anything more extreme than walking usually ends in a tragic situation. True story. The last time I played volleyball, almost two decades ago, I ended up being whisked off to Emergency in an ambulance. Just 10 minutes into the game, I …
Oatmeal is one of my favourite things for breakfast, especially because you can jazz it up in so many different ways to give it a totally different flavour. The other day I thought I would try throwing in a big scoop of pumpkin puree with a few other spices and it was so good! In …
