After being being forced to give up everything I hold dear (namely, Oreos and Cheez-Its) I resigned myself to only have bland, terrible, inconvenient foods. Well, I still eat Oreos but they give me a tummy-ache. After I had an unfortunate incident yesterday with pizza, I swore off all gluten. Like my doctor told me […]
I asked Husband to look at the blog. His reaction: “you seem like an awesome person”. Most wives would be happy to have their husbands recognize their awesomeness but I was slightly perturbed. He was right. I do seem awesome. In order to remedy that fallacy and show my true colors (which actually are awesome, […]
It’s been a phenomenal day in the kitchen. I have yet to burn anything and have produced more than one edible item. Stellar. This is both good and bad. Good since I have tummy-friendly goodies and bad since I have goodies. So much for trying to lose weight. Cooking more and trying to lose weight […]
Being gluten-free is kinda rough. Especially when your favorite foods are Oreos, pancakes, and blueberry muffins AND baking is your stress-relief. My husband runs, I bake. We are both very happy people and have the respective waistlines to prove it. I’ve tried for months to find a decent blueberry muffin but everything turns out like […]
It’s that time of the day, and I have no idea what to feed Husband. A daily occurence. I always keep supplies for the basics like spaghetti and BBQ chicken but those get very old, very fast. I needed something new, healthy, easy, and fast. Chicken pot pie is one of my favorite comfort foods […]
Today was one of those increasingly rare days when I didn’t put my hair up immediately after getting out of the shower. (yes, I know this is bad…I already had a lecture from every single person in the salon. Other customers included.) This gave me a chance to actually SEE my hair for the first […]
I try to send a package of homemade goodies to the troops overseas every few weeks and I recently received a request for cranberry white chocolate chip cookies. Eager to do my patriotic duty, I gave it a shot. After a little recipe browsing, I started with a recipe from Dulce Dough and made a […]
Since we just moved to a new house, I have made it my quest to decorate it perfectly. Husband has made it his quest to not spend any money. Together, we are DIY experts. Not really, but I’m awesome at pretending. I painted hired painters to do the walls grey and ordered some awesome birch […]
My taste buds and my gluten sensitivity are locked in a continuous battle of good and evil (respectively). This time they both win although my brain took quite a beating: “something involving chick peas makes cookies?!” I found this recipe through my friend Julie and have adopted it as my new go-to dessert. The guys […]
I found this picture that I thought was adorable and showed it to Husband. Husband: “Aw, that’s cute. Is it the horse’s baby?” Me: “No, it’s a mini horse. They come in that size.” Husband: “…that’s unfortunate.” (long pause while he studies the picture) “…..how is it supposed to pull the Budweiser wagon?” And that, […]
