My friend Moe is living in Australia to fulfill a lifelong dream and personal journey. Her mission is to learn, love, laugh, and really break out of her shell, have an adventure, forsake the straight and narrow and carve her own path. You can follow her compelling tales from down under here: Journey Uncharted. Although things are …
As the autumn season approaches, I grow nostalgic for apple picking, pumpkin patching, the scent of leaves and dry brush, and the scurrying of little creatures as they gather food and prepare their families for harsher times. Autumn is such a peaceful, yet playful, time of the year. Despite the hustle and bustle of back-to-school, football …
Don’t you just love how we justify everything? I can’t wait for a new research study to report that people who ate one serving of Oreos and Reeses Peanutbutter Cups per day for 30 days experienced better sleep and more active sex lives than those who didn’t. A dream come true. (Please note this a facetious …
I love a good breakfast hash. Last week, I put together this puppy for the hubs, and it was a huge hit. Hash is basically a mixture of chunked-up meat and potatoes. I grew up eating that canned corned beef hash that looks more like wet dog food than a proper breakfast. My mom hated …
I love a good sandwich. And I have this thing where I feel like putting sprouts on a sandwich makes it fancy and more delicious. (I don’t know, I’m weird.) Homemade sandwiches can often seem boring and taste bland. It is way more fun to go to your favorite deli and have someone else make …
“Finish your broccoli,” my mother would say at the dinner table when I was a kid. Noticing that my mother’s plate did not contain broccoli, I would ask, “But, where is your broccoli, Mommy?” Without hesitation, Mommy replied, “I ate mine in the kitchen while I was cooking.” Years later, I found out that was a …
A quick shout-out to my girl Suzie Stercho for working hard on her website, Well-Woman. Suzie is a registered nurse, health guru, hilarious and service-oriented person, and has the most enthusiasm for life out of anyone I have ever known. Her energy truly transcends space and time, as she easily inspires those around her to …
Earlier this morning, I SnapChatted a friend that I wanted a doughnut. I usually do not crave doughnuts; but for some reason, it sounded so good at the time. My friend responded with a SnapChat of a chocolate smoothie she just made. She said she also wanted a doughnut, but made the smoothie instead. That was …
I love my husband dearly. He is a smart, funny, independent man. He is a hard worker, and he doesn’t slack with regard to his responsibilities. That being said, his attitude towards food leaves something to be desired. If I didn’t feed him, he would eat fast food every day for every meal. He is …
The hubs and I got food poisoning the week of Thanksgiving, and it really messed up our routine for the subsequent weeks. Not only did it discourage us from indulging in too much turkey, taters, and stuffing, it also interfered with work, household responsibilities, and social activities. We missed out on a lot the week …
