Make Pillsbury Clean.

November 14, 2012.Reading time 3 minutes.

I love pizza. Probably just as much as the next person. However, given the clean eating lifestyle to accommodate the low sodium… eating pizza isn’t exactly a good fit. Unless you literally do it all from scratch. As an avid pinner on Pinterest (pinterest.com/mizspicer), I’ve pinned A LOT of recipes. Some good, some not so […]

Nieve.

And it’s here. La nieve. The snow. Filled with mixed emotions this first snow. Excited for snowboarding. Not so excited for the cold weather that’s been hanging around for a week now.

Mitch Lucker, and Suicide Silence.

November 5, 2012.Reading time 6 minutes.

I’ve been wanting for a little bit here to get a blog up about two new dinners and some outward thoughts about the new wave of CrossFitters, but between being busy and whatnot, I haven’t gotten around to it. Then my mind became preoccupied last week when a tragedy (not Sandy) struck. I am a […]

The Great Sun Room Build.

October 17, 2012.Reading time 3 minutes.

Any time construction happens in my house, it ends in frustration and anger. This time we can toss anxiety into the mix. I like my house neat and orderly. I’m forever after my husband to pick up his clothes, to not leave his lunch box in the middle of the kitchen floor or to put […]

Strawberry love.

There is nothing more that I love than sitting down, unwinding on a summer night with a bowl of sliced strawberries…

Sack Michael Vick.

September 10, 2012.Reading time 2 minutes.

Anyone who knows me, knows one thing: I love pitbulls to the tippy top of my heart. I love their spunk, I love their charm, I love their charisma. Most of all, I love their resilience. This is one breed that gets kicked time and time again by the media, yet gets back up, wags […]

Breaking up with hair.

September 9, 2012.Reading time 3 minutes.

My hair and I have, for as long as I can remember, had a pretty tumultuous relationship. I am, by all definitions, a low maintenance kind of person. I wash and go. Literally. Since chopping my hair, I brush only once a week. When I had long hair, I brushed once a day and it […]

Welcome to the Apple house.

September 7, 2012.Reading time 2 minutes.

I almost think sometimes I should rename my blog to La Casa de Mac or Life at the Apple House instead of Life at the Quarry. I’m a huge fan of Apple. Always have been, for as long as I can remember. I’ve always worked on Macs too. My job at the Real Estate Book […]

Sometimes dirty is ok.

August 22, 2012.Reading time 4 minutes.

Cooking for me, is different. Sometimes I love to do it, sometimes I do it only because I know I need to eat. From the days of when I first started cooking after I moved out (my mother never let me learn in her kitchen) when I was making boxed, canned or bag prepped meals […]

It isn’t always sunny.

August 17, 2012.Reading time 1 minute.

It isn’t always sunny at the quarry. Literally and figuratively. The other day our elderly neighbor’s dog passed away. The dog had, in a way over the past 3 summers we have owned our home, become the “add-in” furry child. A sibling of our dog’s. It’s kind of like when your child has a best […]
