Well, it’s 8:30 p.m. CDT and I just finished dinner. Usually, I’m cleaned up, in my PJs, and LONG done with my blog post by now! What’s different? Well, a few things. For one, I’m proud as punch to be able to post the very first “What’s For Dinner?” workout report! Thanks to my friend [...]

I made my weekly trip to my favorite enormous grocery store today, and upon browsing the meat section, I found that beef tenderloin was on sale, and suddenly, all I wanted was some tenderloin with a pan sauce, horseradish cream, and a big roasted sweet potato. I was so consumed by my thoughts of dinner [...]

If you’ve ever been to the Olive Garden (or the O.G. as we call it), you’ve probably seen Zuppa Toscana on their menu. It’s one of the things they’re famous for there, in addition to the oh-so-fabulous breadsticks and salad. Adam LOVES this soup. I’m new to it, and I absolutely LOVE it. Too bad [...]

One particular episode of Throwdown [...]

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 [...]

I don’t know if my iron levels are low or something, but all I’ve been wanting the last couple days is steak. Ground beef just wouldn’t cut it! I searched around today for ideas with steak, and I found a couple interesting recipes, most featuring steak and spinach. Being the weirdo that I am, I [...]

I started teaching my students food words today, and I have to say, talking about food for an additional 97 minutes today sure got my appetite going! My students were fascinated by so many of the words they learned today, so I thought I’d share a small sample list of the ones that cracked them [...]

This whole going back to work thing is NOT getting any easier! When my alarm went off at 5 a.m. today, I just about threw my cell phone across the room! Luckily, the kids are getting more used to being back, as are the teachers, so the environment at work is much more “up” than [...]
