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 [...]
Our little sweet pea is getting baptized in about a week. After the service, we’re all coming back to our house for a little celebration. I have yet to put a single thought into what I might have on hand to serve. I thought some simple finger food would be best, and I think I [...]
I made this in the crock pot the other day, and boy did the house ever smell good. I used low fat turkey smoked sausage, and dried great northern beans. I have no clue where I got this recipe, but I’ve had it for years and had yet to make it. So, here ya go! [...]
Well it’s hard to believe that our daughter will be here in a week. We’re all scheduled! It’s been a long… and short.. 9 months. I feel like it’s flown by, but at the same time I feel like the last few weeks have lasted forever! Very typical for an impatient pregnant woman! I have [...]
As I rushed home late from work the other evening, I was a complete wreck from the day’s events. I then walked in the door and saw my 2 smiling guys. We huddled around the island in the kitchen to talk about the day, as I prepared this pizza and tossed up a salad. I often [...]
Cheese… and wine… this recipe actually sort of marinates cheese… in wine. So, you can already see why I wanted to make this dish! Now, the kale “chips” also intrigued me. Kale has been called the “queen of greens” according to an article in Web MD. It’s one of the best things you can eat, [...]
It’s snowing today in Chicagoland. Ah yes, everyone is cranky and has spring-fever. I know, it’ll get here, but not soon enough! Personally I’m looking forward to taking walks with the new baby, and getting outdoors. My son loves to go to parks, and we have a multitude of them around the area. I have [...]
Meatless Monday… it’s a novel thought. I guess I don’t eat enough veggies… I sure do eat cheese though. It’s a shame they don’t push cheesey…ch… well some day should start in “ch”. Anyway, enough of my feable attempt at humor, let’s get on to the recipe. On Monday I tried to make a meatless [...]
My husband and I met in college. We lived at the same dorm, called Hillenbrand Hall, at Purdue. It was the newest dorm around, with “suites” (where 2 rooms shared a bathroom), air conditioning (crucial!), and a pretty decent cafeteria. I loved the build-your-own sub area with freshly made rolls where I’d add their house [...]
