Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
A quick trip to Kansas was in store for Rob & I this last weekend. Rob's best friend was getting married, so we drove up on Friday to make it to the rehearsal and wedding on Saturday. Though we didn't stay for long, it was nice to take a few days off and go somewhere,… Continue reading Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Pie
When you're limiting your diet to lean proteins like chicken, turkey, and seafood---trying to think of new meals centered around those three things can get tough. There's only so much you can do to chicken before you start to get burned out and bored. Seafood can get expensive, so that's a once-in-a-blue-moon type dinner.

Rob and I celebrated our Valentine's Day yesterday, since we both work weird hours during the week. He had gotten us a couple's massage from the massage school next to our gym, and I have to say wow. That was the first time I had ever gotten a professional, hour-long massage and it was incredible.… Continue reading BBQ Pulled Pork Shepherd’s Pie
Have you tried the new extra toasty Cheez-Its? They're life changing. Incredible. A gift from the Gods. I've always been that weirdo that like slightly-less-than-ideal crisps. I like the brown (or green) potato chips. I eat the burnt cheese crusted onto pans when making oven nachos. I'm a sucker for broken cookies. These browned cheesy… Continue reading Barley & Chicken Casserole
