No Bake Peppermint Mocha Cheesecake Bites

December 4, 2017

This Christmas season often means a lot of preparation, parties, concerts (for me and my fellow musicians anyway!), and late nights.  I’ve created a stunning and easy dessert you can take to the office or the party with a little caffeine boost to keep you going.  Make sure you get one first–they’ll be gone fast!

Trouble staying awake with all the Christmas baking you're doing? Make some of these no-bake mocha mint cheesecake bites. It's an easy mini cheesecake recipe with oreos, candy canes, and Dusty Plains Cold Brew Coffee that's like a party in your mouth. #cheesecake #christmasbaking #holiday #coldbrewcoffee #coffeerecipe #christmas #holidaybaking #nobakecheesecake #cheesecakebites #candycane #oreo

Gardeners Worst Nightmares: 28 Perennials You’ll Regret Planting

May 17, 2017

Perennial plants are a good investment.  Plant once and have flowers that bloom for years.  However, some plants that seem innocent enough literally take over the garden and quickly spiral out of control.  Others bloom for such a short time that they don’t seem worth the trouble.  Here’s a list of 28 perennials I’d rather not see in my next garden.

Disclaimer: This post contains plants that are problematic in USDA hardiness zones 2 and 3.  Some of these plants may not be problematic in your area.  If you have difficult growing conditions, you’ll want to put these plants on your next shopping list.  🙂
