Taste Like Crazy

This is a two part post since what I had planned on writing about has been usurped by something else; I hate it when that happens. Part one is about me losing weight. Part two is about my dad. Weight Loss Weekend before last, I decided I was going to lose weight. Again. And to be clear, the [...]

This is the post I write because I don’t want to write for work. This is the post I write because I am procrastinating. This is the post I write because even though I know I’m procrastinating, I’m embracing that part of me, as I often do. So, needless to say [though I will] this post is all [...]

A few months ago I listened to the audio version of the book Julie and Julia [affiliate link] and I fell in love with Julie Powell’s writing style and could completely identify with her “how the hell did I get to be 30 and this is all I have to show for it” attitude. Every night [...]

When I pictured this post as I was making dinner and tweeting about how AMAZING it was going to be, I saw brilliantly framed photos of perfectly golden brown pork surrounded by the orange of baby carrots which glistened in butter and the juices from the pork. I saw a pot of lentils that looked as [...]

I love it when I’m having a bad day and the FedEx guy brings me food to review. Ain’t life grand? Also, my FedEx guy has great timing since my box of goodies got here right around snack time. Cara does love herself a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich and she about lost it when she [...]

It’s Wednesday and I thought that I would jump back into the Wordless Wednesday foray but soon realized that I lack the ability to just post a picture with no words. I took these pictures of the kids yesterday. When Cara was a wee lass, we took HUNDREDS of pictures of her. Every day I would [...]

Or would that be “thees”? I have a giveaway going on right now so let’s just get that out of the way at the get-go.  Click here to read my review of MilkBank and comment to win your own. Next, you may know [well, you do now] that I write for SimsGamer.com and I’ve posted some answers [...]

I know you’re supposed to include a picture with a recipe but since 3/4 of the pan in gone…well…who really wants to see a picture of that? I make mean Bacon Corn Chowder.  That stuff is so good that I’ve been known to stand by my the stove and drink the broth.  The only problem is [...]

The time has come in Oliver’s very short life that he MUST EAT PEOPLE FOOD!  [My kids are big on the dramatics.]  He’s almost five months old, is crawling and can sit by himself for short periods of time so I figured, “What the hell”. Cara was fed rather unconventional things from an early age.  I [...]

I made pizza dough for the first time and it didn’t kill us.  Woo hoo! Yesterday I marinated chicken breasts in garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, ground coriander and apple cider vinegar.  They actually marinated overnight since they were frozen but around 3pm yesterday I dried them off and popped them in the oven to bake.  [...]
