I can't believe how much I look forward to these posts! I love to cook on my own, don't get me wrong, but getting to cook with one of your best friends (and my oldest friend for that matter, going on almost 22 years of friendship) and see actual moments of what it is that … Continue reading On Cooking with Friends #2
IT HAPPENED! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! My friend Alex & I finally got our FaceTime's going and cooked together (catching up along the way as well), and it was so much fun and we've already been discussing what to make next, so I'm super looking forward to our upcoming segments together! And since this was all … Continue reading On Cooking with Friends #1
Dear Readers: My apologies for my incredibly late delay in a post…it’s been a busy last couple of weeks with some updates to announce! The first: Cooking with Friends will premiere for the very first time on Tuesday, April 17th, and will be posted later that evening or the next day (depending on how quickly … Continue reading On All The Catching Up
I can’t believe how close we are to being done! It’s Day 29, and tomorrow is DAY 30!!! Holy smokes! Sure, those last few days definitely have that “is day 29 pretty much the same thing as day 30” feel to it, and don’t worry, I absolutely am not going to give up! I will … Continue reading On Last Week of Whole30
In case any of you wondered, Frankie and I did not go out for St. Patty’s Day this year, and you know what, I’m really okay with it, especially since it was a headache I didn’t have to deal with on Sunday! Yahoo! Instead, I got to hang out at home and really unwind from … Continue reading On Whole30 [Day 16 – 22] & A NEW LOGO!!
This week was all about fighting against cravings, and not being so concerned with meal planning, which fell to pieces anyway...it’s just not my thing. I can see how it’s helpful for sure, but by the time I say, “Yes, I will cook that,” I don’t want to eat it or make it come grocery … Continue reading On Whole30 [Day 2-15]
I’m sorry for the length, but I did warn I was going to be as accurate as possible. So far, with a week in, and yes, I’m having some cravings, but not as bad as I would have thought. Day 2 I think was the worst for cravings (cheese, chocolate, rice), but after that, especially … Continue reading On Whole30 [Day 2 – Day 8]
If there’s one thing you need to know about me, aside from the fact that I love to cook, is that I love to read! With the book group I’m in right now, we meet on Sundays and have started to pair our deep discussion of the book with brunch! GENIUS! I don’t know why … Continue reading On Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes & Whole30 Day 1
Lent is underway, and this year, I have given up spirits and weekday (Monday to Thursday) drinking in general. This isn’t to say that drinking is a problem because it’s not, BUT I have just started to find myself not feeling very good after one beer/drink at dinner later that night or the next morning, … Continue reading On Lent & Gumbo
Because sometimes, one-pot meals are exactly what you need at the end of a long day, rainy day, cold/snow day, or even sick day! And I’m not kidding about that either! This is literally one of those put everything in the pot, let it simmer for a bit, then stuff your face with its hearty … Continue reading On Chicken & Rice
...which is a rare sight in itself! Normally, I run a solo ship, and don't always ask or require a sous chef, but lately, the man has been helping me out (especially on my longer days that include training) by making us dinner a couple times the last few weeks! And on one of those … Continue reading On Frankie In The Kitchen…
Okay, so my trip to Vegas did impact my ability to get a post out last week, but it was my first time in Vegas and I was CLEARLY overly ambitious. Lesson learned, let me tell ya, and I hope this recipe makes up for it! Recently, I’ve been craving lighter foods like fish & … Continue reading On Baked Cod & Greek Salad
