On this first day of National Chocolate Lovers Month, I'm wrapping and labeling Raspberry White Chocolate goat's milk soaps. I'm not a bigtime diaper star; I like to make small, limited edition boutique soaps -and I do sell them at Avant Garden in downtown Ottawa, IL. And online. #handmade #handmadesoap #raspberry #whitechocolate #soap #soapstagram #valentinesday #february #nationalchocolateloversmonth #boutique #oneofakind #shoplocal #shopsmall #pinkandwhite #raspberrywhitechocolate #avantgarden #ottawaillinois #enjoylasallecounty #madeinillinois (at Avant Garden)

12 Days of Christmas Cookies, Day 7: Greek Kourabiedes cookies. These cookies totally melt in your mouth. Flavored with brandy and almond, sprinkled with rose water and dusted with powdered sugar. Yes, that's another crown. 😏 It's from Canal Cargo Market in downtown LaSalle, Illinois. #christmascookies #12daysofchristmascookies #cookies #savorandquirke #foodlover #christmas2016 #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #cookieporn #baking #baked #homemade #homecooking #handmadeholiday #christmasbaking #holidaycookies #holidaybaking #cookieswap #powderedsugar #powderedsugareverywhere #crown #instafood #nom #sweettooth #kourabiedes (at Canal Cargo Market)

12 Days of Christmas Cookies, Day 5: Scandinavian Almond Bars, specifically Norwegian. The recycled silverware crown was bought at a craft market in Norway, Illinois; that is really the only connection. 😊 #christmascookies #12daysofchristmascookies #cookies #savorandquirke #almonds #almondcookies #foodlover #foodporn #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #cookieporn #baking #baked #homemade #homecooking #handmade holiday #christmasbaking #holidaycookies #holidaybaking #cookieswap #scandinavianchristmas #scandinaviancookies #norwegiancookies

Roasted carrots straight from the garden. You'll never again eat them boiled. Toss in a little olive oil and roast covered at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes then 10 or 15 minutes uncovered at 375 degrees. Brings out so much sweetness. 😉💖 #carrots #roastedveggies #roastedcarrots #harvest #slowfood #garden #vegetablegarden #chicagofoodie #foodie #fresh #farmtotable #savorandquirke #backyardgardener #rootvegetables #homegrown #homegrownveggies #sundaydinner #sundaysupper #thanksgivingdinner #sidedish

A beef and bean stew seasoned only with onions and garlic, salt and pepper, and the amazing Moroccan Spice Blend from Geneva Spice House. So delicious, it's like the best of chili and curry powders together. #beefstew #moroccanspices #comfortfood #nom #eater #slowfood #homecooking #fallfood #foodporn #genevaspicehouse #spices #heartyfood #beef #genevail #genevaillinois #foodie #chicagofoodie #feedfeed @thefeedfeed (at The Spice House)

This is my favorite part of the gardens at Washington Park in downtown Ottawa, Illinois... Dark purple-black elephant ears, sweet potato vine, and a really cool ornamental grass that I'm trying to identify so I can plant some in our own yard. #garden #purplehair #purplegrass #purpleleaves #ottawaillinois #beautifulplace #pickusfirst #walkway #publicgarden #ottawaisblooming #citygarden #aubergine #elephantears (at Washington Park)
