 It’s Kitchen Tip Tuesday time and I haven’t participated in quite a while but I have a good one for you this week! Here it is:It’s my cinnamon sugar shaker (a repurposed sea salt shaker).

About a month and a half ago I took a few days and gathered all of my ‘go-to’ recipes and [...] 
This is what the ‘hub/command center’ of our house looks like. This is one corner of my kitchen counter that is reserved for running the household.
