First of all, you should check out my latest addition to the recipe blog: Southwest Chicken/Chili. I just got back from Cafe Classics –a great little coffee house/diner in “downtown” Monroe. Not only was my peanut butter cup latte glorious, but the fellowship I had with an SAU friend, Amanda was even better! I met her in […]
The One with the Day
today I… …had an orange strawberry smoothie. …made homemade tortillas and they turned out wonderfully. (That is going to be a great substitute for crackers and bread when I need a carb base for toppings of various kinds.) …fell in love with refried beans all over again (these were even fat free!). …fit all of […]
The One with the Pop Quiz
What a wonderful day this has been. (That reminds me of a song I once learned. “What a day this has been. What a rare mood I’m in. Why it’s almost like being in love. There’s a smile on my face for the whole human race. Well it’s almost like being in love. All […]

The One with MORE Snow
Gosh, it’s been a while. I keep meaning to sit down and add another entry but for some reason I haven’t been able to get around to it. Thursday afternoon I helped set up for the church rummage sale and came home with a box full of goodies for only $4 (for more details on […]
The One While Eating Blackberry Yogurt
So I just got back from 3 hours at the church working to set up for the rummage sale going on Friday and Saturday. Wow there was a lot of stuff. I worked mainly on the clothes–there were bags upon bags upon bags of clothes–and though they are definitely not organized how they should be (aka […]
The One to Satisfy the Current Facebook Phenomenon
25 Random Facts about Moi I love taking naps, but I hate waking up from them. I love watching FRIENDS with friends. I watch the Food Network more than any other television station. I can’t imagine life without music but I can’t pinpoint my favorite genre. I love worship, classical, old school CCM, jazz, rock, […]
Roasted Potato Wedges
We have this form of potato almost weekly. It’s very simple and super tasty. They’re really good as an accompaniment to burgers. 2 medium/large potatoes, washed and cut into wedges. (First cut the potato in half lengthwise. Turn potatoes cut sides down, and cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges.) Place wedges into a […]
