The weekend was fabulous. Fast. Filled. and Fabulous. Mom arrived around 4:30pm Friday after Kevin and I had spent a nice afternoon at home and we whisked her off with us to Kevin’s family’s house. We had a great dinner with them with good conversation and a perfect Mother’s Day/Birthday gift exchange. Both of the […]
Black Bean Salsa
Two weeks ago I was able to attend one of my great friend’s bridal showers in the Arbor. Amidst the endless variety of food, I found this delicious salsa that I absolutely loved! It’s chunky and fresh and oh so healthy! Caitlin shared the recipe with me and even if you can’t boil water you […]
Black Bean Salsa Chicken
Tonight I had a plan for dinner but I just wasn’t feeling it. Ever have those nights? Well, Kevin and I brainstormed via cell phones and came up with a few….general…ideas. I took some of those thoughts and ran with it. I created Black Bean Salsa Chicken. Now, in case you didn’t realize this about […]
The One with the Raindrops on…Dandilions
What a great week this has turned out to be. Despite all the nose blowing that has to happen for the first couple hours after waking up, I’m over this whole crappy illness thing. Yay for that. Oh, and side note. My favorite thing is happening–Sunshine while raining. Yay for sun. Anyways… I’ve had some […]
Eggplant Lasagna
Being of Italian descent (a proud 25% thank you very much) I have cravings for all things topped with tomato or alfredo sauce and cheese. Most of the time, unfortunately for me, these “things” include a variety of pastas which are like ingesting a little poison for my gluten intolerant digestive system. All that said…when […]
The One that’s All Better. Mostly.
Today was a complete turnaround from yesterday. (Well not completely. Just to clarify, the afternoon taking it easy with my husband was much needed. My body has thanked me for the time of rest by giving me a great “today”.) I woke up with a scratchy-barely-there voice thanks to sleeping all night with my […]
The One with a Rant of Sorts
I’m home. When I should be at church. *sigh* I hate having to decide to miss church. I have responsibilites. I have connections. I have peoples’ expectations. But I also have a 7 day flu or sinus infection or a combination of the two. Just when I think I’m back to normal, BAM! it knocks […]
Banana Peanut Butter Granola
This recipe is, once again, compliments of: Annie’s Eats.
The One with the Rainy Bread
Today is much improved. Besides the ceaseless rain and the inexplicable intestinal pains and a slight sore throat, I’m doing much better. Thanks for thoughts and prayers. Yesterday afternoon went well too as Kevin was home for much of it. :D Not only did he bring me home a McDonald’s hot fudge sundae (*squeal […]
Four-Grain Batter Bread
This low fat, no knead batter bread is the easiest way to get delicious homemade bread without a lot of hastle (for those of you who may consider kneading and rising and rising and kneading for hours and hours a hastle!) This recipe comes to me from my ever-present trusty sidekick, The Betty Crocker Cookbook. I would […]
