Currently, I’m enjoying the sight of two little girls learning to bike ride in the church parking lot. I LOVE warm weather. My ideal temperature range is 60-70F. Much higher and I’m not as thrilled. Much lower and yeah…Anyways. I just had a little scare. I looked at the clock and it was 6:00. I […]
The One with the Bed Bugs
I could literally smell spring in the air today. The WinterJam concert far exceeded my expectations. What a sweet time that was. Glad I let my husband by me this sweatshirt. It’s so comfy and feels like it’s been worn a million times. Meijer sold me 4 pounds of surprisingly delicious strawberries today for $4 […]
The One with the Improvements
My husband is feeling better. That makes me feel better. When one of us is sick it’s like we’re both sick. You know…the “two halves of the whole” thing. We have been thoroughly enjoying my birthday present as of late. FRIENDS on DVD is super cool. The last few days have been filled […]
Cornbread
I had never made cornbread without the Jiffy mix. It just never occured to me to try it from scratch. That was then. This is now. :) Not that I wouldn’t use a mix ever again, but I’m glad I know how easy the from-scratch version is. I hope you enjoy it! Also, I’ve found a […]
Stuffed Green Peppers
While my mom was visiting, we looked through a bunch of recipes and decided on Stuffed Peppers for dinner. There were at least 4 different versions of this healthy meal, so I made up my own. 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 2. Clean 3 large green peppers then cut out the stem and clean […]
The One with the Peppers (Not of the Red Hot Chili Variety)
Here I sit in the office with Kevin & Mom, browsing my typical blogs, drinking coffee made by my husband, and watching Biggest Loser. Mom and I had a nice relaxing conversation filled morning and hit the road around noon for a bit of shopping spree. I love shopping with her better than almost anyone […]
Lemon Meringue Pie
Back at Christmas time, before heading to my parents’ house for the holiday, I decided to bake mom and dad’s favorite pies–lemon meringue & apple respectively. The apple turned out beautifully, and the lemon meringue looked great but was not at all a pie. It was more like liquid pie in a crust. What a […]
One Bowl Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Cookies
Just an hour before bedtime and after a super productive (and quite tiring) afternoon between church/potluck then youth group (which included the baking of a pie crust and making a successful lemon meringue pie which will be blogged about later), I decided it necessary to whip up a batch of cookies in celebration of my […]
The One with the Catchup
Yesterday I started feeling much better. My nose was still dripping like a faucet and I added sneezing to my list of symptoms, but my body wasn’t as weak and achy as it had been Thursday. Because of that I was able to take a 45 minute walk (mixed a tiny bit of jogging) enjoying the […]
The One with the Sinuses
being sick sucks.
