About Working Out

December 9, 2011

Ah yes.  Back when I was in shape! When it comes to pregnancy workouts I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t totally kept the ball rolling very well.  Sure, I walk every day – it’s about the only thing that feels “normal” right about now.  And as mentioned last week I’ve been doing [...]

So, how you guys doing with the sugar overload this week?  You hanging in there? I hope so because next week is going to be THAT much better.  Go grab a mug of black coffee (yes, black, because you won’t be needing to add sugar or cream!) and get ready for it.  It’s not the [...]

I have a story for you. Once upon a time in my younger years my Mimi would make us her molasses crinkles to take home every time we’d go visit her over the holidays.  This was a great idea because I LOVED those cookies, and yet my parents were in charge of the gallon-sized plastic [...]

Chewy Salted Caramel Cashew Clusters

December 6, 2011

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers…that’s the inspiration for this recipe title anyway. The inspiration for the clusters though? My pantry. The fact that I had leftover caramels.

Homesick & Nostalgic

December 5, 2011

Some people say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again expecting the outcome to be different when you know it won’t be.   I may be insane.   See, long before I got pregnant I was missing home.  I live in a beautiful place with incredible weather (today doesn’t count) [...]

Coconut Lime Slice & Bake Cookies

December 5, 2011

I remember once upon a time my mom would spend literally an entire weekend at a time making plates upon plates of Christmas goodies. And me?  Well, I helped her of course!  Until the inevitable happened – the inevitable being that I got sidetracked by the television, a friend calling to talk, or a chapter [...]

Garlic Gold

December 3, 2011

I have to admit, there are times when a company sends me something to try and I’m pretty hesitant to jump on the bandwagon and try it.  It’s not that I don’t want to try things, but even as a food blogger who makes new things all the time I’m pretty set in my ways [...]
