Hoisin Glazed Salmon

July 24, 2011

Before I talk about food, let me take a minute to discuss a MUCH more important subject. Tomorrow morning, beginning at 8am, is THE GREAT FUNDRAISING ACT!  Blogger Susan, creator of The Great Balancing Act, has been diagnosed with lymphoma and, even from her hospital bed, she has managed to create inspirational posts. Although Canada’s […]

How To: Grill Corn on the Cobb

July 23, 2011

I’ve learned something about myself and blogging over the past two days.  It seems that I shouldn’t promise a blog, I should just do it.  If I say I’ll do it, I won’t. Apparently, blogging is a lot like homework for me.  I love to read.  I’ll read anything.  I read every day.  I’m making […]

A Summery “Taco” Extravaganza!

July 21, 2011

I snagged a copy of the current issue of Cooking Light at the drugstore yesterday. Source The woman behind the counter looked at the picture, made a funny face, and then let out a loud chuckle and said, “What is that, lobstah?  And fi-ish?  Lawd, they call anything a taco nowadays!”  I’m from the South, y’all.

Blogging from my phone while I sit in a dentists’s chair. Whaaaat? I love technology. I’m having my teeth bleached (thanks, Groupon!) so I look like this right now. Eww. Moving on to happier things. In the rush to get from running errands to the dentist, I realized I needed a snack because I can’t […]

WIAW #2 and Fender Bender

July 20, 2011

After the success that was Meatless Monday and the beauty of yesterday’s relaxed with yummy food healthiness, today has been…well…interesting. It started off beautifully, but then, getting off the interstate, this happened. So that sucked.  And my neck hurts.  But thankfully, no one was actually hurt (just mild soreness) and the damage was obviously pretty minor. […]

Summertime and the Living is Easy…

July 19, 2011

I feel like I can say with absolute certainty that the best part of having finished my  Masters degree last week is that I have absolutely nothing that I have to do.  Sure, my house is in constant and desperate need of cleaning, my wedding is less than a month away, and I have dogs […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins!

July 18, 2011

I know what you’re thinking.  Those can’t possibly be good for you!  No way! Okay, fine, maybe they’re not as healthy as say, straight up spinach, but we’re talking low calorie (under 200.  That’s low for breakfast baked goods!), high fiber, scumptiousness with some omega 3’s thrown into the mix.  Excelletn. Tonight, of all the […]

Meatless Monday: Avocado and Cucumber Gazpacho

July 18, 2011

Welcome to Meatless Monday, a new day of the week dedicated to learning to eat food that isn’t just for carnivores.  I’m finding that, even though I’m making more side items and trying new things for breakfast and lunch, my dinners still seem to revolve around a meat as the staple ingredient.  I don’t want […]
