This weekend was a wonderful mixture of eventful and self-indulgent. It began with an incredibly busy day at work on Friday during which we spent the first half of the day playing catch-up from the previous busy days and and the second half trying to prepare for the weekend, which we knew would be crazy.

Biting Into a Memory

The other day, I decided to make some white bean soup. I sauteed some onion, pepper, and celery with some seasoning, then threw in the beans with some broth. After digging in my cabinet, I found a small can of mild green chilies. Why not? I thought, and threw them in. When it was all [...]

I eat chocolate in a pretty regular basis. One of my favorite chocolates to eat is Dove dark chocolate. It’s kind of a signature that they have fortune-cookie-type sayings inside the wrappers of each little chocolate piece, like “Worry wastes wisdom.” I recently got one that instructed: If you fall down 7 times, get up [...]

Every time I reach for a box of Special K with Red Berries or any of its knockoffs, I find myself wondering, Why “red berries”? The only berries I’ve seen are strawberries. Today I was even curious enough to do a little bit of research. As it turns out, my box of Special K with [...]

I know I’m not exactly the gourmet cook whose recipes everyone is dying to have. However, I’m still a pretty new housewife, and if I can figure out how to muster a tasty recipe together, anyone should be able to follow it!

Since I’ve been trying to eat healthier, I’ve been motivated to try new things. When the two basic food groups you can eat are meat and veggies, you very quickly want to branch out into something other than salad topped with chicken. I’ve been watching Food Network and decided to attempt a recipe kind of [...]
“Good for You”

Steve likes to tell the story of a dietitian at a restaurant who overheard a woman dipping her bread into her olive oil dip exclaim, “This is so good and so good for me! I can’t believe how healthy I’m being!” as she heartily dunks the bread into the oil. While olive oil may be [...]
Land of the Sky and Sky-High Stomachs

I just got back from visiting my roommate and her family in the land of the sky. We celebrated my birthday early. They took me to Flat Rock Grille for my favorite decadent dessert: the Hershey brownie. It’s the chocolate lover’s dream–warm fudgey brownie with an entire Hershey bar placed precisely on top so it [...]

Last night, I decided to forego the Ragu cheese sauce and try to make my very own mac and cheese. It was a very successful experiment. Here’s how I did it: 2 Cups whole grain macaroni 1/2 stick of butter About 1 3/4 cup of milk About 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour 1 1/2 [...]
