C — Since the Be Mindful. Be Human. blog started, a lot of people have been asking where does all the food go. The answer: In my tummy. Jim eats a lot of it, too. And, some friends. So, I started to feel guilty that I haven’t been able to … Continue reading

Sweet Potato Souffle
C — What new, creative thing can I do with sweet potatoes? I have been racking my brain. Jim mentioned this great recipe from one of his favorite chefs. I thought I could make it. But, after looking at the recipe, I realized sweet potatoes just became really fattening and … Continue reading
Creme Brulee to Save the Day
C — It’s been a tough morning here at Be Mindful. Be Human. Jim has had a rough morning and he hasn’t told me why. So, I guess it’s up to me to lift up his mood. Not really sure if anything will work. He’s been grumpy. Really grumpy. Boo. … Continue reading
Chocolate and Butterscotch Chip Cookies
C — I love making cookies. I love making them more than eating them. I could make hundreds in one sitting and not be tired. Too bad I don’t know enough people to actually give them away to. I usually end up just eating them. So, when I make cookies they … Continue reading
Fig Tarts
C — Ugh, tarts again! (Warning, this post is me completely whining about making tarts) Jim went to Taste Restaurant a few weeks ago and was still beaming with ideas from it. I have been nodding and agreeing to it all, hoping I wasn’t going to take part in any … Continue reading
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Cherry Crumble
C — These cherries need to be eaten. There was a sale. I bought a lot. I was suppose to make cherry pie, but didn’t. I made smoothies and cherry milkshakes instead. I’m not really in the mood to make pie this week. The crust part scares me. Nasty store … Continue reading
Coconut Banana Nut Bread
C — I got lots of bananas this week. I love it when grocery stores have to clearance bananas. You really never want to buy food that is on clearance. It’s always food that is on its last legs and should have been thrown away a few days ago. But, … Continue reading
Mango Custard and Puff Pastries
C — Have I mentioned I love to bake. I bake a lot. Too bad the house that I live in has a really bad oven and I can’t seem to bake a good cake to save my life. It feels like 350 degrees when I am baking in that … Continue reading
My First Day
C — It’s finally here! It’s the big day. It’s my first day on the job. It’s my first day as a blogger. I hope I don’t mess up too much. I will probably make lots of mistakes. My apologies in advance. This is my third draft of this post and … Continue reading
