Broccoli Salad Memories

September 12, 2018 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

There are certain things that can trigger such deep, intense memories… it’s almost as if I’m transported back to the day and time in question. I’ve had this happen as a result of listening to music (this song instantly takes me back to “Senior Week” in Ocean City, Maryland, for example), seeing a particular photo […]

Homemade-fake Maple Syrup

Homemade-fake Maple Syrup

I’m running a guesthouse (for adopting families) and I like to cook. This translates into pancakes and bacon a lot of mornings, which means I bring out the big guns: my jar of homemade syrup. It doesn’t take too many bites of syrup-laden pancake before someone finally asks, “so you really make your own maple […]

30 minute rolls

Every single time I make these rolls, someone asks for the recipe. So I figured I’d post it here to share it with you all at once. Thanks to my friend Laura for sharing it with me shortly after we moved to Nicaragua (when I was lamenting my loss of frozen bread dough, refrigerated bread […]

The titles of said photos threw around words like “easy,” “super fast,” and “flaky crust” and I got really excited. So I clicked. And then I read the ingredient list, which prompted […]

It’s a Nutella kinda morning

Big dog who thinks he's a small dog

Everyone is on edge here. There have been hundreds of seismic events in the past four days. Having graduated from a college in southern California, I am not fearful of most earthquakes. The ’94 Northridge quake woke me from a sound sleep, with bookshelves, lamps, and other items crashing down all around me. I seriously […]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Oreos

Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Oreos

Before I moved to Nicaragua, I shared my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Up until a few months ago, that was my go-to cookie. I could pretty much make it in my sleep, and had fine-tuned my process so I could make six dozen of those treats in under an hour (well, that was back […]

This goodness—the idea that God is incapable of anything that is not inherently good—should be a life vest wrapped around my every word, thought, and deed. Yet, the idea, “this isn’t right” feels like an undercurrent always capable of pulling me into the depths of despair.
