Great East Lake.

 So this is the Great East Lake, found between Wakefield, NH and Acton, ME.

 I spent a week at this beautiful place. The weather was great compared to Central Illinois, as you can probably imagine.

 And this is the cabin I was lucky enough to stay in.

 A sailboat is thoughtfully displayed.

 Simple, but Maine-appropriate interior design.

Have a great day, everyone. :)

My favorite things: recipes.

Spicy Bean and Rice Burritos, see information below.

Okay, so I love food. I really do. I love cooking it nearly as much as I love eating it. Being a very enthusiastic vegetarian, I have to love food, right? I thought I'd share some of my all-time favorite recipes.

Spicy Bean and Rice Burritos. These are delicious. Not too difficult to make. Here is the recipe:

Spicy Thai Noodles. I love Thai food. There is a great Thai restaurant in my town, but sometimes making it myself can be even better. This is a really simple recipe to follow, provided you have all the ingredients.

Perfect Iced Coffee. Not only do I love tea, but I also enjoy a good cup of coffee. And iced coffee? So wonderfully satisfying. The Pioneer Woman does it right.

Perfect Iced Coffee. What's not to love?

Just a little about me.

I'm a college student (music education major) who works part-time at a library.

I'm a vegetarian, so if you like vegetarian recipes, then keep an eye on this page.

I love tea. All kinds of tea. My favorite is jasmine white tea. You should try it if you never have.

I love making things. Sewing, crafting, whatever. I love to make stuff.

I don't like to spend money, and I'm always looking for simple and homemade things to save me a couple dimes.

Get to know me. :)
