**Have you voted for my Wonderful POMcakes today?** Tonight was leftover night. Not exactly the old “eat whatever is in containers in the fridge” kind of leftover night, but more of a “I have some leftover stuff that I can put together with other stuff for dinner” kind of night. So I started with the [...]
Remember how yesterday, I made 5 pounds of roasted chicken with the intent of using the leftovers in another recipe? I think that every other time I’ve said that I’m going to “use the leftovers” I have given up and made something new. NOT TODAY! We had a different schedule at work today, and I [...]

Wahoo! First full day of school went fantastically! The students were well-behaved, I stayed away from the junk food in the lounge, and came home and was beyond thrilled to warm up leftover broccoli pesto from last night. Usually, leftovers make for a very boring blog post…but not tonight! About 2 weeks ago, Tropical Traditions [...]

An Eggo? Sorry… Austin Powers moment… Sunday was a day full of just what I needed: relaxation, shopping, sun, swimming, and baking! The relaxation came after the other 4, and I gotta say, after the insane amount of cleaning we did Friday, then the unbelievable amount of cooking I did on Saturday, relaxation was what [...]

Today was another great day… I’m really on a roll here! It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this great. I think a huge part of it is that I’ve really switched up how I’m eating. Lots more whole grains (instead of breads), less sugar, more fruits and veggies… all components of a healthy [...]

Adam and I decided to have the leftover spinach lasagna from the other day… so I have nothing special, dinner-wise to report. BUT on WEDNESDAY, please make sure you visit Love of Oats to read my guest post!! Don’t worry, I’ll remind you again!
After yet another long and hectic day at work today (got there early, a pregnant teacher passed out and an ambulance was called, I covered an extra class during lunch, then supervised after school study hall… the teacher is fine, by the way! It was scary!), I got home and wanted noodles. I didn’t care [...]

Wow, 2 boring posts in a day… I’m sorry!! Today was leftover night. I ate leftover bean burrito casserole and Adam had leftover Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli. It’s supposed to snow 7″-11″ tonight, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a snow day!! What was your favorite thing to do on a snow day? Mine [...]
When I got home today, there was a package waiting for me on the kitchen counter. I didn’t remember ordering anything, so I was a little surprised, but when I opened it, I found that the Gnu Bar fairy (ok, really it was the lovely Robyn from Gnu Foods) had come and left me a [...]
