It’s no secret that I love small things. More specifically, small things that are just small versions of big things. A normal carrot? Great, and delicious in hummus. A teeny tiny carrot?? Amazing! A regular-sized cupcake? Delicious and definitely cuter than a large cake. A mini cupcake? Perfection! An average burger? Perfect on the grill [...]

Many many years ago, I was introduced to this “new” burger placed called Red Robin. There weren’t very many of them in our area, and everyone I talked to said it was “SO GOOD” and they had neverending steak fries. I was in! On one of our very early dates, Adam and I met for [...]

Usually, I brought my nut butter (sometimes peanut, sometimes almond, sometimes cashew) with preserves (sometimes apricot, sometimes strawberry, NEVER grape) on whole wheat bread, fruit, and graham crackers most days. There were, however, the occasional school lunch days when I just [...]

It has been quite a long week, and I’m beyond thrilled that tomorrow is Friday! We have a no-students-present institute day, which are always fun. Not that I don’t love my students, but sometimes it’s nice to hang out with adults. Sometimes, I’ll spend some time up in the main office at work and chat [...]

Operation eat more veggies is in full effect! I managed to eat 2 cups of spinach in my eggs this morning, the veggies in my chili this afternoon, and tonight’s dinner was a virtual cavalcade of vegetables. It was another one of those days where I had no idea what was going to be for [...]
