When it’s freezing outside, there’s only one thing on my mind: getting and staying warm. I have this issue with cold toes. When my toes are cold, it doesn’t matter how warm the rest of me is, I feel cold. During the week, this is a rare occurrence because my school building is quite warm. [...]

**This is part two of the follow-up to my teaser post last night. Hopefully it was posted as scheduled! You may all be wondering (or not) what exactly that lovely meal was that I served with the glorious Maple Wheat Bread you saw earlier. What’s funny is that the original idea for the meal started [...]

Just going to be honest with you here… I have the Super Bowl on right now, but only to listen for commercial breaks! The commercials are all that my students will talk about tomorrow, and I have to be up on what was shown! Apparently, I already missed a couple… Since we’re not having a [...]

Thank you for all my finger well-wishes yesterday! As of today, it’s a lot less gory, less sore, but still pretty gross… I hope it heals quickly! Typing is so hard with a bandage… Since I had this lovely injury, I wanted to avoid contact with anything that could possibly make it hurt more. Last [...]

I had every intent of going to Jazzercise tonight, so we planned ahead and I got a crockpot of Chicken Chili Blanco all set up and ready to go last night. Little did I know that the weather would take a turn (for the cold and rainy) which would wreak total havoc on my head. [...]

When I bought my crock pot almost 3 years ago, the very first thing I made was posole. My friend sent me a recipe, and I thought “hey, I’ll throw this in the crock pot!” Yeah…that didn’t work so well. Little did I know that crock pot or slow-cooker cooking was different than stovetop and [...]

What were you doing at 6 a.m. today? While you may have been sleeping or working out, I was up, in the kitchen, slicing vegetables for tonight’s dinner. I got too tired last night to throw together tonight’s crockpot meal, so I got up early this morning and got to chopping! It really didn’t take [...]

It’s apparently Italian Week in our house… with the pizza chicken yesterday, and this amazing pot roast today! Before I get to the recipe, just a quick health update: I finally made it to the doctor today after a week with this lovely intestinal issue. My doc thinks I have a bacterial infection in my [...]

It’s officially fall here in Chicagoland, and the cooler weather has me wanting nothing more than beef stew and pot roast. At the grocery store yesterday, I picked up a package (about 1.5 lbs) of very lean stew meat, and made the decision that today would be a beef stew day. Growing up, I always [...]
