I used to think I had better things to do with my time than worry about finding ways to cut costs, but in order to minimize our growing grocery expenses, I was forced to find ways to save (and make) a little extra money. Here is an example of the cost difference: $275 per month including taxes – Cable tv, home phone service with long-distance service, high-speed internet (No premium channels like HBO, Cinemax, or Showtime) Grocery store sales and digital coupons are some of the best easy ways to save money. Most local grocery stores have a rewards program where you can sign up to save money, get special digital coupons, and earn fuel points.
Are you familiar with a London Fog Latte, a hot tea beverage made with earl grey tea, honey, vanilla, lavender, and foamed milk? This London Fog Scones recipe is basically a London Fog tea Latte made into a delicate little scone. We like buttermilk for the light tanginess it adds to the scone, but if you are not a fan of buttermilk or don’t have any handy, you can use heavy cream instead, but you must use the baking powder if you don’t use the buttermilk. London Fog Tea: I use Harney & Sons London Fog loose tea (see below the recipe) because it already has the honey and lavender flavors inside.
And while I absolutely advocate for supporting small local restaurants, as a home chef, I also wanted to offer some great options for those who want to create their own gourmet dinner at home. You can create a gourmet dinner for (or with) your love for Valentine’s Day or any time you want a romantic dinner for two. Tip: Make your own raspberry glaze to drizzle on the torte by blending 3-4 teaspoons of raspberry jam with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. The Prats + Symington’s Prazo de Roriz is a Douro Valley red wine blend, perfect for pairing with roasted and grilled beef dishes.
A cross between fudge and a cake, this flourless chocolate espresso torte is beyond decadent — bittersweet chocolate melted into butter and folded into a foamy pillow of eggs, with just a kiss of espresso and cinnamon to send your taste buds soaring into outer space. To be clear, this dessert is very rich, not something to eat every day, but for a special occasion like a birthday or Valentine’s Day dessert, this is the piece de resistance. A basic flourless torte has three main ingredients: eggs, butter, and chocolate. This flourless chocolate espresso torte recipe adds a few other ingredients that enhance the flavor of the chocolate to create an extravagant chocolate explosion in your mouth!
I’m feeling a little prickly today. See what I did there? This is a close up of a Jumping Cholla, a cactus plant found in the southwest. It’s pretty to look at, but you don’t want to get too close, as it has little tufts that can brush off and stick to clothing, hair, and skin with razor thin barbs that are difficult and painful to remove. (Don’t ask me how I know.) The AZ GOP is kind of like a giant Jumping Cholla right now, a major pain to everything it touches. Did you know they are trying to change AZ law to give AZ legislators the power to overturn election results in our state? Let’s send them a message and shut this down. Arizona is beautiful but we have a lot of pain in the *sses here. #az #cactus #jumpingcholla #beautifuldestinations #arizona #fairelections #beautifulsouthwest #arizona🌵 #igsouthwest #azliving #grandcanyonstate #beon12 #abc15arizona #instagramaz #countryoverparty
#ad 2020 was spent losing weight and getting more fit.

They even have a class for balance and flexibility so I can improve my coordination. Check out my link in the profile to find out more about Silver&Fit’s workouts tailored for people over 50. Bonus?

We don’t get rain often in Phoenix so I am enjoying every drop. It’s supposed to drop to the 40’s by next Tuesday so I’m getting my cozy clothes ready! #rain #rainyday #phoenix #phoenixarizona #beon12 #abc15arizona #azcollective #az365 #phoenixrain #desertlife #desert #raindrops
Yesterday I made a cake to celebrate the Biden/Harris inauguration, but not just any cake, Mrs McNair’s (Wacky) cake. Mrs McNair was my moms best friend when we lived in Delaware when I was little, about the same time Joe Biden became senator in Delaware. This cake was a favorite for my family while growing up and is a favorite with my own family. Rich and fluffy chocolate cake with a delicious cream cheese frosting...what more could you ask for in a cake?! Even better? It’s super easy to make and has no eggs! I make it a bit healthier with coconut sugar and grass-fed butter. It seemed appropriate to make a family favorite from Delaware to celebrate the guy from Delaware making it into the White House, don’t you think? If you’d like the recipe, take a look on the blog under wacky cake or click the link in my profile! #cake #ontheblog #foodblogger #familytraditions #chocolatecake #creamcheesefrosting #bestcakeever #inauguration2021 #presidentbiden #delaware #wackycake #easyrecipes #lovetobake #dessert #celebrations #dessertlover #instabake #eggfree #foodblogfeed

What is your drink of choice to feel cozy and warm? In the morning, I like a cup of green tea, then I switch to coffee. In the summer, I like my coffee on ice, but in the winter, I love the feel of a warm cup of coffee while I work, even better if it’s a creamy latte. Now that I’ve embraced a healthier lifestyle, I enjoy almond or oat milk in my coffee, sometime with a touch of honey or cinnamon. Sometimes in the late afternoon I have a cup of earl grey with almond milk. Hmmm. A warm beverage warms me up and gives me a doze of instant contentment. Are you a coffee, tea, or hot cocoa kind of gal (or guy)? How do you take your hot beverage of choice? If you drink tea, do you have it plain or do you like honey, cream, or sugar? Do you drink you coffee plain? I’m always looking for new ideas to mix up my routine...tell me how you incorporate healthy comfort into your cup. #coffee #coffeelover #tea #coffeetime #teatime #afternoontea #hotcocoa #hotchocolate #warmandcozy #warmdrinks #cozyvibes #cozy
It was fun to indulge a little during the holidays. (Who are we kidding, I indulged a LOT!) But now it’s time to get back on track with my goals. I worked hard last year and I’m not going to let some yummy Christmas cookies undo all that hard work. Who is with me to start the year with balance, self care, and healthy eating?! #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #healthyeats #cleaneating #wellness #oatmeal #oatmealbowl #fruit #2021goals #motivation #healthyfood #fitnessjourney #fitafter50 #healthyfoodie #eathealthy
