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 […]
This is a different kind of Transformation Tuesday post. And in it, weight isn’t going to be discussed. First, because for me, it’s never been about the number on the scale. It’s been about what I see in the mirror, how I feel every day. Even before pregnancy. I also hate that once a woman […]
I know I’ve got the category Foodie Friday. And I know I’ve tagged this post in it… But it couldn’t wait. This was just too yummy to keep to myself any longer (I made it two weeks ago). Just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean you have to listen to everyone out there who thinks you […]
In the midst of all the insanity that is often known as my life, the only other thing that calms my mind and body as much as the gym is cooking. Normally this time of year, with school sports in a lull and waiting for the Spring seasons to start, I have limitless amounts of […]
Now, let me start this off by saying, after my experience with cottage cheese brownies, I’m very skeptical of anything made with cottage cheese. Anything. But, I really wanted to try a new Alfredo sauce, and happened to find at The Gracious Pantry (of course, where else would I find it?) a recipe for Tex […]
Let me just start out by saying, I’m honest in my own opinions with my food posts. If I say something is yummy, I mean that with every taste bud on my tongue, I think it really is good. So in all fairness, if I say something is crap, then to me, well… it’s crap. […]
My biggest weakness is a tall stack of French toast and a heaping plate of bacon. After changing my eating habits, it became my go-to cheat meal quite a bit. When I was younger, my mother would sometimes make “Brinner” (breakfast for dinner) and I would be on cloud nine. I love pancakes well enough, […]
In the summer time, I’m a big light flavor person. When I indulge in a beer, it’s a light beer (Sam Adam’s Porch Rocker comes to mind…). And I like things that are simple, quick and easy to throw together and toss on the grill. Chicken and pork are always my go-to’s for meal prep […]
The thing about the technology age is…. it’s easier to get information. Easier to “research” and easier to self-educate. It’s also what’s wrong with the technology age. It’s easier to find misinformation, because well… everyone thinks they know more than Joe Schmoe over there and vice versa. At the same time, it also gives new […]
Three things are constant in my house… Music. Being active. And grilling. Despite living in the Northeast where it gets to be negative-two million degrees outside in the dead of winter and snow falls in feet, not inches — I grill year round. I can’t help but chuckle when photos pop up on Twitter or […]
