Ahhh...Happy Friday! There's no real plans on the agenda this weekend other than some hockey. Administrative hockey business, that is. Yours truly was selected to be a captain (sad that *I* am the most organized person they could find) this summer and the captain meeting is tonight, followed by the ...

Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough
A few years ago, I met Biz of My Bizzy Kitchen in our hometown of Oak Park, Illinois. We ate burgers and talked for hours. It was perfect. Biz is a total HOOT and her blog is wildly successful.

Mahi Mahi Panang Curry + Weekly Menu
I woke up this morning (Monday) feeling totally bummed that the weekend had come and gone so quickly. I hadn’t meal planned, hadn’t grocery shopped, hadn’t made the girls’ lunches, hadn’t blogged…yeah, I hadn’t done much of anything. My rear was NOT in gear, to say the least. I was busy. Playing ...

Baked Ziti with Meat Sauce
I’m starting to get back on my feet after the flu last week. The rest of my crew have remained flu-free – phew! I played hockey last night and after my first few shifts, I had to focus on getting air into my lungs and breathing through the shortness of breath. I might have resumed exercise a bit ...
