I always loved going for that one week each summer. A week of riding horses, hiking, swimming, and several other random activities. What teenager…

It’s Official
Last week, Brent and both got an exciting email from the Portland Marathon. It is finally official that we finished the marathon and now we have the certificates to prove it!

Our Trail or Bear Territory?
On Halloween night, we went out to our trail. We are trying to get all the runs in on our trail before the snow starts flying. Which normally, has already happened. We have had a long fall here in Montana and Brent and I have been loving every bit of it. The colors on our…

Cardamom Bread and A Pumpkin Roll
We had a few friends over the other night to carve pumpkins. I had to make a few treats for everyone to share. Of course, I needed to use my fresh pumpkin. You cannot have a pumpkin carving party without pumpkin goodies! The Cardamom Bread has become a staple of mine during the fall season.…

Spicy Pumpkin Soup
I had an impromptu dinner with my sister the other night. We quickly decided to make Spicy Pumpkin Soup as I still had fresh pumpkin in the refrigerator that needed to be used. We drove over to the store quickly as I was running a little low on a couple of ingredients. We had a…

The other night, Brent decided that he wanted to take a turn at making a pizza. He did an awesome job. He has a completely different view on pizza which makes it fun for him to make one. He is so much better at rolling out the pizza crust than I am. We decided to…
