Sunday night, I stayed up way too late hanging out at the hockey rink following my late (9:30pm) game…that was already running late. Yawn. Monday night, I stayed up way too late reading because I’ve got one book to finish and my book club book to read all within the next 2 weeks. And, life can ... Read More about Mushroom Risotto
Philly Cheesesteak Pasta + Weekly Menu
I was in a no-good mood yesterday afternoon. The sun was out (for once) and I was doing the mental gymnastics of everything that needed to get done for the weekend. I had to wrap up prep for a podcast before we recorded this morning, my blog received zero attention all week, I was quickly losing ... Read More about Philly Cheesesteak Pasta + Weekly Menu
Tofu-Walnut Bolognese
My sister-in-law and her wife just got back from their honeymoon in St. Lucia. They stayed a million nights at a resort that looked nothing short of DREAMY. I can’t wait to hear all about it.

I'm a day late on my Family Friday update. I had it all mentally mapped out but after a crazy week at work and evening committments after work, it just never happened. I hate weeks like that, but I didn't mind a 5 course meal served by a local chef with a wine pairing for each course. I mean, that's ... Read More about Family Friday (vol. 106): January Randoms
Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
You know what I’m SOOOO excited for? A new mattress. It’s en route. After spending 2 nights in a hotel earlier this month, I’m now 100% certain my mattress is total CRAP and the cause for my back pain. Let’s hope Consumer Reports didn’t lead me astray -- I never pictured myself in a mattress that ... Read More about Pumpkin Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Healthier Slow-Cooker Butter Chicken + Weekly Menu
Oh hello, January. We were out to dinner last night, watching the snow fall at a steady pace and at a 45 degree angle with the wind. The US Army Corps of Engineers report says that waves on Lake Michigan may reach 18 feet (!) today. Bananas. As excited as I am for my niece’s 1st birthday party ...
