Well, I have lost 11 pounds so far. It’s been about 7 weeks since I began eating less carbs and no wheat. I have had to cut back on calories and am exercising more to keep the weight coming off. I definitely plateaued! Bummer. However, I’m still thrilled about […]

  There are times when I wonder what the content of my blog should be. Should it be only recipes I’ve made up? Should it be recipes I’ve made that were written by other people? Or both? I think I’ve decided it should be both. I love taking photos of food, […]

  I don’t know why I put off joining Pinterest for so long. I guess I didn’t want to get addicted to yet another thing on the internet. Well, my instincts were right, I probably shouldn’t have signed up, because it is so addicting. And fun! But I think it […]

  I’ve gotten very behind in my blogging lately! I have all of these ideas, but no time to execute them. This past week was especially busy. My boss went on vacation leaving me “in charge” (yikes!). Needless to say, I put in a lot of hours and it was […]

  I can’t believe February is almost over. I’m glad of it since I can’t wait for spring to come. Although March seems to always be the snowiest month here in Minnesota. Since we haven’t had much snow yet this winter, March might be a doozy! In fact, we have […]

  I’m still working on organizing all of my recipes clipped from magazines and newspapers. The trouble is that I keep adding to it faster than I can organize it! It doesn’t help that I get even more cooking magazines now. This recipe for Creamy Ranch Chicken has been in […]

 I recently discovered what is called a “Photobomb.” I’m thinking this is one of those things that everyone else knew about and I’m just finally catching on to (it’s a feeling I’ve had my whole life, seriously). Anyways, it’s where a photo is being taken and something or someone ruins […]

  I’ve been on a cleaning and organizing kick lately. Last week I went around and cleaned out three of our closets. I have 3 bags to donate and 2 bags of garbage. My mantra is “if it’s not beautiful or useful, get rid of it.” The best way to organize […]
