First off, if you missed Wednesday’s post, be sure to go back and enter to win some seriously delicious chocolate! We’re quickly approaching the time of year when I get too lazy/hot to cook. Okay, maybe there are times year round when I’m too lazy to cook, but when it gets warm I can’t be […]

The first long weekend of the summer season is upon us! I took today off to make my weekend a little extra long. One of the best things about summer? Corn on the cob. I love to eat it boiled, grilled, oven roasted, pretty much any way I can get it. It’s been raining like […]

If you put lemon in something, I immediately want to eat it. It’s a character flaw, and I’m working on it. Just kidding, I would never ever try to remove anything lemon from my life. Lemon bars, lemon pies, lemon cookies – I love them all. In fact, I keep a large stash of lemons […]

Surprise, surprise – still not feeling well. I’m ready to try any sort of crazy voodoo ideas anyone has, so send suggestions my way! Started as a cold/cough kind of deal and triggered some recurring stomach issues I have. On the bright side, feeling crummy has gotten me to include all kinds of leafy green […]

I’m going to keep this post short and sweet, as I’m still just feeling yucky. I’ve made this pasta a few times and for some reason it never crossed my mind to post it. If you don’t like mushrooms or asparagus (crazy people!) I think a wide variety of veggies would go great with this […]

Everyone has those foods that make them happy, right? I’ve had kind of a crummy weekend. I seem to be perpetually sick this year and as soon as the weather got warm, I started coming down with some sort of cold. I fell asleep around 9 pm on Friday but tried to have a fun […]
