Many many months ago, when I was clinging onto the hopes that spring would, at some point, arrive, I made a meal for Adam and myself. It had been an extremely dark and depressing winter, with periods of deep sadness, deep snow, and deep bowls of baked goods. In early March, I experienced the meal [...]

I’ve been saying for months that I’ve lost my cooking mojo. With the stress of last winter, then the craziness of Summer and camp, and now with the beginning of the school year, I just didn’t have the energy or desire to come home and cook a meal. But now, I’m into a rhythm with [...]

My sister Leigh turned 27 on Monday, which also happened to be Labor Day. I’m pretty sure her actual birth day was on Labor Day as well, but since I was 4 when she was born, I don’t really remember! What I do remember is knowing deep down that I was going to have a [...]

AH I love Thursdays! There’s something about knowing that I only have one more “sleep” until Friday, and before that, I get to sweat my tail off at Jazzercise (621 calories today!!!!) and then come home to a great dinner. This week has been stressful, but in a different way than normal. Usually, I have [...]

I got so excited when Spiceaholic posted Basil as the BSI! I have so many great recipes that I’ve made that I could’ve submitted… but, being the weirdo that I am, I had to come up with something totally new for my BSI submission! I’m completely carnivorous this week for some reason, with steak last [...]

Today marked day #3 of Jazzercise, and I’m still loving it! It takes 21 days to make a habit, right? I guess I’m 1/7 of the way there. My teacher, Chris, busted out some killer ab and butt routines today, and I’m willing to bet I’ll be whining about how sore I am tomorrow! My [...]
