Clearly, visitors to The Happy Home have noticed that I'm on a brownie kick right now. The Mint Swirl brownies were absolutely fabulous, so were the Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting. But what if you *gasp*-- don't like chocolate?  Read more >

I’m having issues with naming this recipe.  None of my modifiers seem to work. The noun is the potato.  It’ has one definite modifier– they are baked potatoes. But then how to describe how they’re stuffed? I could say, “Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Feta Cheese, Kalamata Olives, and Green Onions.”  But the editrix in me thinks that’s too long. Then, I could say “Greek Stuffed Potatoes.”  But they’re not stuffed with Greeks.  That’d be cannibalism.  Read more >

Did you know that ALL 50 states grow wine?  (According to this article on TIME, North Dakota was the last holdout, who gave in in 2002.)

Halloween was always my favorite holiday as a kid.  Since my birthday is 12/22, I always sort of had some competition with Christmas.  And besides, no other holiday lets you dress up in wacky costumes-- or eat as much junk food!  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm a life-long writer who, at 26, is still trying to find her voice.  I went to school for writing and publishing, but can't seem to settle on one subject that lights my fires.  I dabble in fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, humor, journalism, and everything that doesn't seem to have a name.
