Another sign that Christmas is on the horizon? I’ve got cookies on the brain. It just occurred to me that I don’t have any cookie swaps on my calendar this year and I had such a good time at the 2 I attended last year that I think I’m going to host one in January [...]
Ordinarily, I don’t think of myself as a big smoothie fan. Yet here I am, reviewing my second frozen smoothie kit. Go figure. As you may recall, I taste tested Yoplait’s frozen smoothies over a year ago. Last week when I hit the grocery store, I was presented with one of my weaknesses: an item [...]
As part of my blogging break, I’ve asked some of my friends to guest post. This post is from Katrina, who writes over at Tea Pages. We’ve been following each other’s blogs for quite a while and I’m so excited that she’s posting here today. Enjoy! I am so honored to be guest blogging for [...]
It doesn’t seem like it’s been as miserably hot this summer as it was last summer, overall. Maybe that’s because of our awesome $20 air conditioner that we picked up at a tag sale. Maybe it’s because I’ve been teaching summer school in an air conditioned building. Or maybe its because all of the oppressive [...]
Last Sunday I was able to cross goal #6 “Open our home at least once a month” off my list for January. A couple friends from work came over and we had a really great time. I made broccoli and three-cheese lasagna from Real Simple using this tomato sauce, both of which are amazing. I [...]

Yesterday I headed into New York City with Brian’s family. The plan was to check out the Museum of Art and Design, get lunch and do a little walking around. We decided to eat lunch at Bouchon Bakery, a bakery co-owned by Thomas Keller in the Time Warner Center. The sandwiches looked mighty tasty and [...]
The healthy living blogging “world” is a funny place. Just yesterday I met Cynthia for lunch and we talked about (among other things) how fun it is to hang out with other bloggers because they get “it”. Other bloggers don’t look at you funny when you photograph your food, or question why you’re not eating [...]
It’s amazing how quickly vacation can seem like it was years ago. We’ve been home for 10 days, but that relaxed, carefree feeling that comes from not wearing make-up or having a schedule for a week is quickly disappearing. It’s probably just as well that it took me awhile to write Part 2 of this [...]
It’s hard to believe that just over a year ago (June 27, 2009), Brian and I got married. It was a perfect wedding and a great year…and our one year anniversary meant that we could finally defrost our 2 slices of leftover wedding cake and eat them! Cake that’s been in the freezer for a [...]
