Chip Taste-Testing and a Raisin Recipe

“You get some weird things in the mail.” This is what my darling fiancé said when I came home to this: I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was on Jenna’s blog that I found a link where I could request a sample of red lentils. And, since I’m planning on milking the “I’m [...]

Bribing with Baked Goods

Oh man…I am so glad today is (just about) over! It was my “12-hour work day” with early morning media for our new exhibit, so I’m glad it’s done and we got some good coverage. In order to bribe thank the people in other departments for helping out with the press, I decided to do [...]

Windfall

My mom called me awhile ago and told me she has some random food items that she thought I might like (her fiancé ordered a bunch of food online and I guess this came with it). Not going to lie, when she said “organic raw pecan butter” I got really excited, because hello, that stuff [...]

Not the New Rules of Blondie Baking

As I mentioned, I made blondies for the terribly sad and depressing and I don’t want to talk about it football game on Sunday. And as anything with a stick of butter and a cup of brown sugar would be, they were really, really good.  They have the texture of a brownie with the taste [...]

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 [...]

Na-MOO-Ste Contest Entry: Spicy Cornbread

Week 10 Weigh-In Recap

Happy Sunday! It’s cool here in San Diego this morning, and I’m out to tackle four miles (again!) once my toast digests. How is your weekend going? I cannot believe it’s already been ten weeks for my 12-week bootcamp program. I’ve learned a lot and I know I look better than I have in a [...]

Testing the Hypotheses with Friendship Bread

Hey ya’ll, thanks for reading/commenting on my last post. It made me feel a lot better to know that some of you get jealous of other people sometimes too, and I especially appreciate the encouraging words about my weight loss efforts (and yay for a few lurkers coming out! Hope you stick around!). I started [...]
