Tonight’s post will be brief since I want to get some good rest before Thanksgiving festivities begin! Last year I posted lots of photos, but I neglected to provide links to all of the recipes. Bad idea. What a pain it has been to track them down! This year I am wiser. For your reference … Continue reading
Ketchup is one of the condiments that I’ve recently developed a palate for. Unfortunately, it’s not paleo. Instead of eating ketchup, I’m playing ‘ketchup’ tonight. Bad joke. I won’t recap my days at work (which have been totally fun, and challenging, and exhausting, and revitalizing, and did I mention exhausting?). I will, however, give a … Continue reading
I love grocery shopping. All shopping, really, but especially grocery shopping. Some girls splurge on expensive handbags while I see handbags as a vehicle for shuttling loads of groceries from the car to the kitchen. I love grocery shopping so much that I, like many other sample-seeking folks, am willing to pay $115.18 just to … Continue reading
Today, the egg came first. This morning began with my rendition of McDonalds’s bacon, egg, and cheese McMuffin. Ever wonder how they get those little egg squares? I wonder too. I do it with the microwave. Thanks, mom (: The first time I made this sandwhich for Daniel he asked how many eggs I used, … Continue reading
Daniel and I took a trip to Home Depot this afternoon. We picked out a nice backsplash for the kitchen, a great stovetop, a medium-stained hardwood floor, and a beautiful trough sink. The only problem is that we have no home of our own to renovate. Since our dream house is somewhere in the distant … Continue reading
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It’s been quite a busy couple days – I wasn’t able to post anything yesterday because we forgot to pay the internet bill so, yeah, no internet. I swear we’re responsible adults. I suppose I could’ve posted from my phone over some 4Gs, but truthfully, I was tired and not that upset … Continue reading
Today marks the start of Thanksgiving week. This year, on our first wedded Thanksgiving, Daniel and I are hosting his parents. We are so excited about their first visit to our (rental) home in Arizona! My biggest contribution to Thanksgiving meals in the past has been finishing off the left-over green beans and pumpkin bread. … Continue reading
Where did yesterday go?! I’m rewinding through the day’s events. It was midnight when I wrote this but my internet was being dumb so couldn’t upload it till this morning (Sunday). Anyway, Daniel and I were relaxing with episode after episode of House Hunters and House Hunters International. We had just returned from an evening … Continue reading
Last night was an experiment – I’m a sucker for great soup, and we’ve had a butternut squash sitting on the counter for a couple weeks. Since last week, I’ve been trying to think of a way to incorporate it into a soup. A couple other ingredients we needed to use before they expired were … Continue reading
We all know that pizza is acceptable at every meal, even breakfast. When I was little there was something almost naughty about pizza for breakfast, but it didn’t stop me. The best way to enjoy it? Cold, covered in yellow mustard, and topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Might sound awful, but oh my gosh… We … Continue reading
