I was crazy busy this weekend making a ton of bags for a sale this upcoming Saturday. FORTY FIVE of them to be exact. I almost ran out of zippers from my bag o’ 100 zippers and I’m going to have to re-order from the bulk zipper lady on etsy before I can make any [...]
I’m obsessing over quinoa. Now I’m even eating it for breakfast. Read on for the recipe.
Meet my latest obsession: Quinoa.
[ look how pretty it looks with some black and white mixed together! ]
It’s nutty. It’s different. It’s filling. It’s awesome.
Mostly eaten with savory foods, quinoa is often overlooked for breakfast.
But look at this? Doesn’t this look yummy? Trust me. It does.
I’ve been obsessing over smoothies. Big time. One every day for breakfast. I keep this one for the weekend because sometimes bananas give me stomachaches, but it is SO worth the tummy ache for this smoothie.
Chocolate Banana Smoothie
1 frozen banana
5 ice cubes
2 T cocoa (unsweetened)
1 scoop whey [...]
We bought some English muffin bread a while back at the farmers’ market, but I thought I’d see about making some on my own.
I’ve been making this weekly for the past month so Mark can make his egg sandwiches for breakfast. And I’ve been working on making it better [...]
I finally figured out how to make an omelette, thanks to the internet. I’ve made several before, but none that were that pretty. All delicious. Didn’t look good.
So I made an onion, spinach, tomato and goat cheese omelette. With a side of bacon grease baking powder biscuits. And yeah. Those are [...]
Nothing like a good breakfast to end your weekend. I created a fluffy omelet with ham, pepper jack, mushrooms, onions and spinach. Sooo good!
Fluffy Omelet
3 eggs, separated
1 T milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 T oil or butter
toppings of choice — I [...]
I realized that Mark and I tend to make a really great item for a breakfast (which turns into brunch, and sometimes almost dinner) just about every Sunday. Thus, I’m adding a Sunday Brunch section.
This is actually installment #2.
My parents got me this cookbook a while ago from their B&B they stayed at [...]
I will preface this with: I suck at writing recipes. Most of my awesome food is created by crazy-random-happenstance (example: my raspberry grilled chicken that I have yet to recreate).
And actually, my blueberry banana pancakes were created by a happy accident. When I was training for a half marathon last spring, I sent Mark [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
