It’s Not Delivery – Curry Chicken Pizza
Ugh, Monday. And tax day. That’s should be against the law or something. That’s a lot of “ugh” to handle at the beginning of the week! And I don’t know about y’all but taxes were brutal this year! Oh the joys of self-employment. 🙂 Making it through this day, or any rough day, calls for…
Meatless Monday: Farrotto with Crispy Oyster Mushrooms
I decided several years ago that I was going to give up meat for a month. I was doing it as a part of a fast with my church that asked us to give something up to refocus. I decided on meat and to focus on regaining control over my health. I’ve always been a…
Soup’s On! – Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Spiced Granola
How many times do you catch yourself saying “we should really get together more often” or “let’s do this again real soon” when you’re hanging out with friends? How many times do you actually follow through? We all have good intentions but “life” gets in the way and we go months before making plans. When…
Happy New Year!
Show of hands, who is still on the wagon with your New Year’s resolutions? Anyone? Yeah that’s what I expected. I should make a resolution NOT to make resolutions. Ha! Instead of making resolutions that I’m sure to completely ignore I’ve chosen to make 10 attainable goals for myself in 2013. I also vow to…
Date Night In – Coconut Chili Fried Rice
I miss my hubby. He’s been gone for a week and a half and will be gone for another week. I won’t lie, that sucks. 😦 We get into a routine with him being gone every weekend but these long stretches can be difficult. Thankfully he doesn’t have to do them very often. This is…
Berry Pickin’
Tomorrow is October 1st. Today’s high in Nashville is 68° and there is a chance of frost this weekend. You would think I’d be breaking out the butternut squash and making a big pot of soup but no, today I’m reminiscing about summer. Go figure. For those who know me you will know that I…
Dinner For One
Dinner for one is a common theme in my home. I can say that’s probably the most challenging aspect of a life with a travelling husband. There are some perks to him being gone though. I can watch as many girlie movies on Netflix as I want. It makes pedicures with my best friend easier to…
Hot Diggity Dog
My husband, Steve, travels A LOT. I mean like every weekend a lot. It’s been traveling off and on for most of the 9 years that we’ve been married but that’s okay. I knew what I was getting into when I said “I do” and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! We have been…
On Top of Spaghetti…
Men, pay attention. Ladies, I’m going to ask you to walk away. Go ahead, it’s alright. There’s got to be something that can keep you occupied for a few minutes. They’re in good hands. Just trust me. Okay guys, are they gone? No? Okay I’ll wait… Now? Good, read on. I stopped at the grocery…
