Journey with Me
Hi there! My name is Dana. I created this space as a place to share the things I learn along this journey I call life. I am a Jesus follower, wife, twin mom and dog mom. I work in marketing/sales analytics and I’m a sort of Jane of All Trades, interested in all things nature, gardening, cooking, crafting, traveling, exploring and learning new things. This blog is a conglomeration of my interests, hobbies, life and life lessons. Thanks for stopping by!

Tonight’s dinner truly sprang from a desire to use up the rest of a goat cheese log that I had. After some perusing on Pinterest, I found this recipe for Crispy Fried Goat Cheese and thought it sounded delicious! Then, I realized that I had recently had this sort of fried goat cheese, and it was

I love tacos. That’s no secret. But I’ve been branching out recently and have tried some new variations on this household favorite…including one for breakfast and one with an Asian flair!

We didn’t travel over the holiday weekend so it allowed me the chance to have some good downtime and also do some experimenting in the kitchen!

Saturday at our house felt a little chaotic. After some morning cleaning and some trips back and forth, we finally dropped my car off to get new tires put on in the morning. From there took Happy to the dog park for a last romp before the snow really started to fall. We got home

I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone a little this year and have been cooking a lot of squash! I need to find and post some of the other recipes I’ve tried, but I thought I would write down tonight’s meal right away, before I forget! Tom had gotten a home grown acorn squash

I’ve seen several recipes for salads with a warm bacon dressing, and I have to admit, I was intrigued. I’ve been wanting to try it out for some time now and finally got a chance to last night. I was in the midst of making some other food for the week to come and bacon
