#whatsfordessert OK, it’s not for dessert, it’s my breakfast. Blueberry scones. Would it make you feel better if I told you they’re low carb?! I’m guesstimating that there are about 5.5g net carbs in each scone. . . . . #blueberry #scones #dessert #break… instagram.com/p/BxDguZ6FYlI/

Remember this? One year ago today, I decided to make my own vanilla extract. A bottle of vodka and a bunch of fresh beans. It’s ready and it smells A-mazing!! Happy 1st birthday vanilla extract. . . . . . . #vanilla #vanillaextract #vanillabean #vodka instagram.com/p/BxNzfIrFU6Z/

Forever Heartbroken 💔🥲 instagram.com/p/CWIpkTjle_N/…

14 yrs 6 mths & 23 days we had with this amazing dog. Today, I literally heard his heart stop & for a moment I couldn’t breathe. The silence that surrounds me seems unreal. The sadness is unbearable. I feel empty & numb…I love you Bruno💔 #weimaraner #rip instagram.com/reel/CeE78aGhg…
