Recipe: Hearty Winter Salad
Hearty winter salad time. What makes a winter salad? To me it’s got apples, or a dense fruit, some hearty lettuce, and perhaps even some sweet potatoes. This salad doesn’t have any potatoes, yet it’s full of nuts and goodness. Let’s get cooking! Ingredients First, wash and dry the kale and romaine lettuce. Then, cut the kale (stems and all) into thin pieces. Chop the romaine a little larger, into about 1 inch pieces. Next, make the dressing. If you’re going to be eating the…

Travel: Omaha Transit
Omaha transit – the best (and cheapest) way to travel around Omaha. We took the ORBT up to Target, and took the standard bus to the zoo, the farmer’s market, and to the gardens. The schedule is reliable and the public transit in Omaha is way under utilized. It’s not like the L-Train in Chicago, but Bryce and I were shocked how little local residents used the bus. It’s $1.25 a trip, so very cost effective. Okay, let’s checkout some photos. Omaha Transit First, the…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 7.0
It’s Woof Wednesday 7.0 time – being in Australia for 29 days we most certainly missed this sweet pup. All four paws and two shaggy ears! Daphne came into our lives 3 years ago, so this is our fourth round of comparable photos. Bryce and I aren’t aging one bit, haha. Also, I switched up the way I hold her in the photos. When she was younger I could easily hold her by her back legs, with my arm underneath her kneecaps, yet not any…

Travel: Fraser Island Snapshot
Fraser Island snapshot – known as K’gari, it’s a world heritage site and has spectacular views. We picked up our 4×4 from Fraser Dingo and toured the island by on our own with an individualized itinerary, leaving plenty of time to explore. If you rent a 4×4 you’ll get a safety briefing going over all the tips and tricks for driving safely in the sand. We were a bit nervous at first, yet it’s just like driving on fresh snow! The similarities were wild. If…

Travel: Kinka Beach Snapshot
Kinka Beach snapshot – just south of Yeppoon, this quite little place has a few hidden gems! From the Capricorn Caves, to some stunning short hikes, this place is peaceful. Okay, let’s checkout some photos. If you stopped by last week you m know we were in Cape Hillsborough. The drive to Kinka Beach is about 4.5 hours and being gluten free, I often plan our lunch stops ahead (if not packing a lunch). On this slightly remote drive we were pleasantly surprised by the…
