I hope to eventually have a career in something pertaining to: cooking, baking, writing, or entrepreneurship. In the mean time, as I am studying and desperately trying to find a major that […]

Looking for a pie recipe that's not apple or pumpk

Looking for a pie recipe that's not apple or pumpkin?? Say hello to my French Silk Pie and Easy Peanut Butter Pie 😍 These are my two most popular recipes *every* Thanksgiving and I can see why.⁠
⁠
"It’s difficult to explain how perfect this French Silk Pie is. It’s light and decadent and oh-so-chocolatey. Everyone loved it and I cannot wait to make it for a crowd just to hear the ooohs & aaahs! 5+ stars." -reader Katja⁠
⁠
"This Peanut Butter Pie is always the favorite dessert when I bring it. Everyone loves this and it is so easy to make. I usually make it a day or two in advance and just bring it frozen in a cooler bag and it’s perfect to serve after dinner. Making this for Thanksgiving today!" -reader Janie⁠

Soooo we hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim! Someth

Soooo we hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim! Something I never thought I’d do in my life.

Joe has been trying to convince me to do it with him for years. He had already done it (he does things like that, as well as off road triathlons 🙃). Against my self preservation instinct… I finally said yes.

There really is no way to describe the vastness of the canyon. We descended from the south rim down and down and down. It felt like we were entering a Russian nesting doll situation. Canyons within canyons. At some point you descend so deep you can’t even see the top rim anymore.

We camped overnight at Bright Angel at the bottom, hiked again the next day to Cottonwood campground to camp overnight, before making the grueling ascent up and out onto the north rim. Those last miles pushed me to my absolute edge mentally and physically.

And while I’m struggling thinking this is my end… there are outrageously peppy people *running* past who just ran from one rim to the other.

The forces of nature are so profoundly powerful. It’s amazing to immerse yourself in it with no connection to the outside world. The icing on the cake was the insanely bright and clear starry night sky both nights. It felt like you could reach out and wipe away the Milky Way galaxy dust. We even capture some starry night iPhone images setting the exposure to 10 seconds!

An incredible experience but I’m now ready for a spa day (or two). Though not before we host 19 people for Thanksgiving next week!!
