What is Tempeh?
Sunday night I made a dish out of my new cookbook (that I won over at Relishments!), How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. A lot of the recipes in here are easy and they don’t have strange ingredients that I have to search high and low for.

One of the Christmas gifts from my mom this year was a set of lotion & body cream from Bath & Body Works in Forever Sunshine. This new to me scent is AMAZING and I love the body cream! It smells…
