Ohgabetta's Coconut Macaroons

Can I just get an amen for those beauts above? I mean, seriously, they were heaven, And yes, were, as in past tense because they lasted all of 1-1/2 days in the hizzy.

I did a simple Google search for easy Coconut Macaroon recipes. Literally, I typed in easy because ain't nobody got time for complex instructions, ya dig? Allow me to enter a screen shot of the screen shot I took for your convenience:

Ok, ok, here is the link itself just to keep things official via Food Network.

The only adjustments I made was doubling the vanilla because I plain ol'love vanilla. And I bought Betty Crocker Hershey chocolate frosting and smeared some on half the amount of 'roons with a buttah knife. Both plain and choco were equally delicious.

This is now going to be a staple party item for me to bake. And a staple item for random Tuesdays. Let's be honest. Life's short, eat dessert first, ya know? It was so so easy and an absolutely fantastic outcome. Win-win.

Let's meet again,

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w

Time Blocking

When I worked in corporate world, I learned the art of time blocking. Actually, in middle and high school this concept was introduced through classes being structured to a similar schedule; we had A and B days and instead of taking 6 classes every day for a shorter duration, we took three each day, alternating which three, for longer periods of time. To surmise, I’ve implemented this approach for well over 20 years now! #YouKnowHowIKnowYoureInYour30s #YouReferenceThingsIn20YearIncrements. Anyhowwww...since I transitioned to work for myself from home, I’ve created a time blocking schedule here as well. It’s typically much more flexible than any other time blocking I’ve been part of, but it’s a good system. When you know what you’re going to do or at least have an idea to begin your day, I find it works well and let’s me start out focused even on days I wake up feeling less than on my game.
