Whew, I’m pooped. Ok, one should probably not write “poop” in a blog about food, but that pretty much sums it up. It’s been a busy weekend with the kids and now, Sunday night, I’m trying to catch up on the million-things-I-didn’t-get-done. But, it was a fun one for sure, and definitely worth it. I’ve [...]
I’m up early this morning logging in to work. It’s funny how work seems a bit easier when you can do it in your pajamas (or in my case, yoga pants and a t-shirt). It’s been quite the year for me… a new baby girl, a new job, and so many new possibilities. I feel [...]
I was all excited to blog my Four Seasons Enchiladas. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t posted it before, and I made it last night for a neighbor who just had a baby. As I went to type it up this morning, there I find it already blogged on my site. Ah yes, the brain is [...]
My husband and I love going out for Tapas – basically Spanish appetizers. When I heard there was an authentic Spanish restaurant near my parents’ home, I asked if they’d go with me sometime. One of the dishes that I had there was called Albóndigas, or basically Spanish meatballs in a tomato sauce. They were [...]
At one of my most memorable jobs, I was lucky enough to travel the world. I had never been overseas, but on my first day on the job I boarded a plane for Germany. During my six years at the company, I was able to see Germany (several times), Russia, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. [...]
I was going to make the title official and name the Israeli Couscous Tabouli and Creamy White Bean Yogurt Sauce… but good lord that’s a mouthful. And personally, if the title of the recipe is so long, I’m not sure I’d even want to start reading the list of ingredients to make it. I’m a [...]
If you take this recipe from the WW website, it is called “Eggplant Parmigiana”…. but I thought that sounded way too fancy. I like to think I am well-versed in my life. I live about 5 blocks from the “big city” and spent quite a few years living in Chicago. My parents couldn’t even tell [...]
Ah summer. I love it… and I’m getting to really enjoy it this year since I’m currently unemployed. Ok, yes, it’s not great to have to look for a job, but I am truly enjoying the time off with my kids. I can’t complain. And hopefully this will bring about a job opportunity that truly [...]
Meatloaf… not normally one of my go-to meals. But alas, today I looked in my freezer and there was ground meat staring back at me. I had no motivation to go to the grocery store, so I needed to get creative. Funny how with one child, I found going to the grocery store to be [...]
I love Indian food. I never thought I would until a coworker introduced it to me, and wow… I’m hooked. However, I want to make lighter versions of it at home. My favorite is “Butter Chicken”… which, I mean really, how can you lighten up a dish with that name? Gina mentions that this is [...]
