I needed some cookies yesterday. I mean, I sort of need cookies all the time, but this time I was baking them for a bake sale at work. Since these would be revenue-generating cookies, I knew they had to be good, so I picked a recipe that was supposedly pretty foolproof. Read on, my friends. So [...]

Squash Semi-Fail (And Some Personal Ish)
Good evening! (Or morning or whenever you read this). Two days down, one to go until Thanksgiving! I’m more happy about the long weekend than the holiday itself, but it’ll be fun having a “big” group at Thanksgiving this year. For the past three years we’ve been anywhere from 3 to 6 people, but this [...]
Secret-Ingredient Recipe Testing
Hello friends! First off I feel the need to apologize for not being as “on it” with commenting on your blogs as I usually am. I’m still reading (believe me!) but I’ve been super busy this past week with my freelance side job, and I’m trying to be responsible (since, you know, I get paid [...]
Gringa Tacos and “Purple” Yams
I wasn’t going to post tonight’s dinner because I wasn’t sure how good it would taste. We all know I love my Mexican food—in fact, I went “off-campus” for lunch today to a local Mexican joint and had some yummy grilled fish tacos. Well, before I knew what I was doing for lunch I had [...]
Veggie and Vitamin-filled Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was so good, I’m posting it even though my photos, well, suck. (I really think I need a new camera, but also the lighting in my condo is terrible. I need to do more experimenting with lighting…and learn how to take photos! I think my blog will be 100% better if I can [...]
Spicy Oatmeal Success!
There are a bunch of foods I didn’t eat before I started reading food blogs. Or at least, not nearly as much as I eat them now (or WILL be eating them again after next Friday when my bootcamp is OVAH!!). These include: almond butter, banana-PB oatmeal, pumpkin anything, Greek yogurt, kale chips (which is [...]
I am SO Resourceful
Did everyone see my post on Health Blog Helper about Twitter? I had so much fun writing it…that’s how big of a nerd I am for Twitter. I was really thankful to Matt for giving me the opportunity to share what I’ve learned in my professional and personal use of Twitter over the past 10 [...]
Feeling the Pride Today
Good morning (or afternoon)! I am in a really good mood right now. Keep on reading to learn why… Like other bloggers, I received a few loaves of bread from Nature’s Pride to sample and review. Mitch is VERY brand-loyal, so we’re big Oroweat purchasers around here and I was interested in trying out a [...]
Sleepy and Simple Sandwich Sunday
The upside of being a football widow (ok I’m not married but you get the idea)? I can do all the blogging (and watching trashy TV and ok, cleaning) that I want to with my “free” days. So far today I’ve ran 3 miles (one week of “official” 10k training in the bag), gone to [...]
