I took the basic bran muffin recipe that I shared with you the other week (check it out here) and added one over ripe banana, half a cup of raisins, half a cup of walnuts and a cup of cherries! YUM! The original recipe is a little dry and heavy, but when I added all [...]

Egg Carton Garden
January 27th, 2010 · No Comments · diy projects, our garden
I’m not sure where I got this idea. I’m sure I saw it somewhere. But, as I was finishing a carton of eggs this morning, I thought it might be a great idea to use the carton as a nursery. I have a few succulents who grow babies along the tips and ends of their [...]

New Muffin Addiction
January 11th, 2010 · No Comments · food, our house
I’m hooked! I love baking muffins. Who’da thunk! I made bran muffins on Saturday.
On Sunday, I did a little experimenting. I started with a plain muffin recipe and then in each muffin i added different special ingredients or a combination of them.

Luke and Jimmy came over last night to record some more stuff for the single. I went into the studio at one point last night and witnessed an epic triple acoustic guitar jamathon. Rocked my brain!

Veggie Chili
For dinner last night, I made The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World (well, at least that’s what it’s called. but, it IS really frickin’ good). It’s super easy to make and a good crowd pleaser. I made it one time on a group weekend trip to Joshua Tree. The recipe says that it [...]

Lone Palm Studio Redesign
January 6th, 2010 · No Comments · design
I recently revisited an old design. A few years back, I designed and built a website for Dan’s recording studio, Lone Palm Studio. Well, it badly needed an update, a fresh new look. The old site was dark and image heavy; the design was lacking a certain something. Above all, the copy needed rewritten and [...]

Happy New Year! Another year has begun!
I don’t like to make New Years Resolutions. It seems too passe. I like the sound of “Goals” a little better. My goals for January are big. We’ll see how they pan out… together! (One goal is to write a new article for you everyday!)
Another goal is to [...]
