One of the things that has happened in my adult life is an interest in trying new foods. I’ve tasted, and fallen in love with foods from all over the world. Some foods, that if you told my 18-year old self a decade and a half ago that I’d enjoy – I’d have laughed at […]
(Let it be noted that that’s probably not the name of this recipe. It came nameless, and it’s the best description of what I made and am passing along the recipe for…) I have an aunt that’s really good at doing one thing with her Facebook… And that’s making me feel like I’m dying a […]
When I’m in the heat of playoffs at work, life can get a bit insane. It’s often during that time, I’m either leaning heavily on the use of the crockpot, or I’m a bit obsessive-compulsive about food prep on Sundays. If I even have Sundays for food prep. Sometimes, when we have a record number […]
I can’t really call myself a forgetful momma, because, well, I was this way pre-baby. Grocery lists and I are enemies of the biggest kind. I can remember childhood friends old house phone numbers. I can remember any birthday. Addresses. Names of all of my teachers. My brain retains some of the craziest, pointless “facts”. […]
I’m going to shatter the universe with my opening blog statements today. Hold on to your britches folks, because it’s going to be a big’un. There is no big secret to weight loss. There is no magic pill, powder, plant, food, or hobgoblin. The answer is not sitting in some top secret lab, buried in […]
Let’s start a new trend here. This is for all of my busy mommas out there who want to get in shape, but just don’t have the time. The mommas who work all day, tend to the household duties, and the kids. The stay at home mommas who don’t have a spare minute between keeping […]
If I thought there was never a dull moment in this household before, having a baby has certainly changed that. Everything has changed, yet it’s all still the same (if that makes any sense to someone who doesn’t have newborn baby fried brain like me). I like to cook. Baking? I have very little patience […]
Two things have changed in my life so far since becoming a mom. The first, it’s always going to take at least an hour for me to get out of the house now. The second? Getting my nutritional needs on target each day is a lot harder now. Eating when I’m hungry isn’t always a […]
I love to cook. There is no way around it. When I first started out on my own, even though a lot of it was boxed, canned, or 75% prepped already for me, I found I enjoyed cooking. As time passed, I got damn good at cooking from recipe books and making my own recipes. […]
Things are starting to get a little bit busy. And little is a severe understatement. This week has been full of meeting, appointments, trying to stay on top of house chores and more… Not to mention the official start to winter sports season, so I’m away from home more often than not. It’s that time […]
