I'm all about efficiency, especially in the kitchen. That's why I love dinner ideas that make great leftovers I can take to work with me the next day. Cook once, eat twice (and sometimes three times)! Not only does eating leftovers for lunch save me time when it comes to deciding what to pack for my lunch, it also saves money in that uneaten portions of last night's dinner don't go to waste AND I'm not spending money each work day going through the drive-thru or dining out.

Books Worth Reading ☆ December 2018
My list of recent reads has had somewhat of a business and entrepreneurial theme which seems timely considering the recent transition of this site from Fireworks & Leftovers to Firework Philosophy, which was something I just felt led to do. I have all sorts of ideas for my little corner of the internet so I guess it makes sense that I've been gravitating towards books that are about brands, business and making things happen. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a ... View Post

But as I continued to grow and write and embrace new relationships and experiences, I began to feel like there was something more, ... View Post

Books Worth Reading ☆ November 2018
It seems like whenever I get a chance to read lately, I'm binge reading. Forget the dirty dishes piling up in the sink. Forget the laundry that needs to be put away. I've got books to read. My recent reading marathons may also be because of the cooler weather and my desire to do nothing other than cozy up inside on the couch with a blanket, a cup of hot cider and a good book. I'm sure I'm not alone with my binge reading habits. When you find a good book it's hard to put it down and that was ... View Post
