Nearly four years ago (yikes, I can’t believe it’s been that long) I joined Weight Watchers for (what I thought) would be the last time. Before I joined, I rarely cooked. As much as I love cooking now, I had a TINY kitchen and a great pizza place down the street so I never did [...]
Is anyone else totally loving this lighter later thing!? I think it’s just fantastic! There’s something about having 4 hours of daylight after work instead of less than one that makes the afternoon so much more bearable! Adam and I had a lot of grocery shopping to do today since we made a fairly big [...]
I got home to that 5 lb. package I mentioned yesterday… any guesses what was in it? Well, some of you already knew, so I’ll just show ya Due to a surprise tax return, I was able to get this amazing camera I’ve been coveting for SUCH a long time! It’s a Canon EOS Rebel [...]
Yep, its 5 p.m. here. And I’ve already eaten dinner. You know those days when there’s something to look forward to the next day, and you just can’t sleep? Maybe Christmas, or the day before your birthday? Well, when a teacher is anticipating a snow day, every little noise sounds like it could be a [...]
I had a big event after school today. I got to do something I haven’t done in a very long time… I went to Trader Joe’s! I got a pretty decent haul for a small amount of money, and proceeded to make a simple and random TJ’s dinner. After, of course, I spent some time [...]
Apparently, this is what happens. First come the combinations with the squash and coconut milk. Then come almond flour pancakes for breakfast, then comes this: What the heck is that? Apparently I’m taking after HEABy! Well, the toppings are obvious: homemade guacamole and sour cream. Under that, there’s some chili-lime chicken. Then, a little cheddar [...]
After years (literally, 3.5 years) of counting Weight Watchers Points®, this past week, I decided I’d had it. I spent one last week counting to the best of my ability while I researched other possible eating plans. While I know that I *should* attempt the whole intuitive eating thing, my intuition would lead me to [...]
Hugh Jass that is! After tweeting today that I had no idea what to cook for dinner, the lovely Sarah suggested I make a taco salad. Thought process immediately following: taco salad sounds good. taco salad has lots of stuff on it we don’t have lots of stuff. I should go to the grocery store [...]
Most of us know that little kids can be brutally honest. “Your hair is puffy!” (yes, thank you, I know that) “You have an earring in your nose!” (Duh, it hurt when I put it there) “You wear big shoes” (uh, yeah, I have big feet) But nothing could’ve prepared me for what I got [...]
First of all, I want to thank you ALL for your kind words in my moment of insecurity at the end of my last post. I know that I started this blog in the dead of winter, and know not of the downturn that apparently comes when the weather gets nicer. All of your comments, [...]
