As I’ve mentioned, there’s been quite a bit of “non-Hallie-like” meals that have left me feeling a bit…blah. But, I’ve realized that there is always something going on—there will always be a birthday or a barbecue or a staff party in which yummy treats/booze will be served, so I’ll never have an “ideal time to [...]

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Blondies with Side Notes
Hellooo! How is everyone’s week going so far? Mine’s going…ok, I guess. Work is busy which is always nice, and I worked on a freelance project last night that was looming over my head so it was nice to get things done. Side note 1: check out my new blog header! I’ll link to the [...]
Na-MOO-Ste Contest Entry: Spicy Cornbread
Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? Mine was just lovely. I didn’t take any photos because well, I was teased enough for making a pie that had tofu in it (or rather, that I was trying to keep it a secret. Grrr!). But suffice it to say the evening was a success, and we only [...]

Stolen Crock Pots Make Excellent Chili
For San Diego standards, it’s been on the cooler side. I know it’s nothing compared to….pretty much 99% of the rest of the country, but still. I knew I wanted a warm, comforting dinner, and I turned to my trusty chili recipe. I think the secret to the chili is using the dried beans. The [...]
Healthy Twist: Barbecue Bacon Meatloaf
I uploaded this recipe from Word, and now the font’s all small. How do I fix that? I get so annoyed when I’m learning a new technology…I want to know it all NOW! Ok, rant aside. Tonight’s recipe was created because Mitch asked me to find a recipe for BBQ Bacon Meatlof. So I hit the [...]
