Cardamom Coffee Cake: Coffee cake…it was always a treat in our household. My Mom only made it on special occasions, but when she did, it seemed like it was always gone in a flash! Over the past few months, every now and again I’d all of a sudden crave coffee cake. Fortunately, [...] Happy National Sticky Bun Day I’ve recently started following Punchbowl on twitter (my handle is activelifecook fwiw) which tells me all of the odd days that are out there. Well, today was a reason to celebrate…it’s National Sticky Bun Day (2/20/10)! I woke up early this morning, 6:30am [...] Happy Lots of Things!

Mark is back off to work today, and I’ll be back to work tomorrow, so…back to the grind…until Christmas! This past week actually proved to be easier to keep up our routine [...] Happy Thanksgiving from ALC! Hope all of my readers had an excellent and delicious Thanksgiving (homemade vegetarian stuffing shown above), and also took stock of what they have to be truly thankful!
