READ I finished another 7 books this month and I am cautiously hopeful that I got my reading mo-jo back. (Psst, I don’t want to jinx it.) COOKED I made this soup at least three times already, and I am so excited that fall is around the corner and more soups, stews, and casseroles will…
1. This probably has popped up in my monthly favorites before, because I continue to love Wasa Whole Grain Crispbread*. Most people think these are crackers (you can find them in the snack aisle), but no, this is considered “bread” in Germany (and other European and Scandinavian countries).

I haven’t bought a book in ages (other than as a gift for other people, when there was a book…
I wish I was more fancy with my skin care routine, but alas, I am not. I am not a beauty blogger. I don’t have “extensive” knowledge about beauty products and, like most of us (I would assume), I have been switching and trying new products ever since puberty. I go through phases where I…
What happened? You guys, my reading was so slow for months and then I read 6 books in August. Just like that. I don’t know how I turned things around, but hey, I’ll take it. The Stars are Fire by Anita Shreve (★★★★☆) I love me a book with a good heroine and Grace definitely…
