My weekend was cut uncharacteristically short by a work event that kept me outside in the cool autumn air for about 12-hours. Aside from taking a large chunk out of my weekend, this also took a large chunk of my energy leaving me without much when it came time for Sunday night dinner. On nights [...]

Holy comfort food Batman! If you are like me, then these cool Autumn nights create the perfect setting for a stick to your ribs, warm your tummy dinner. The kind of dinner where you sit down, eat, and almost fall asleep at the table before you have the chance to stand up and walk to [...]

Fish sticks were probably one of my childhood favorites. We didn’t eat them that often so whenever I sat down to a wonderful plate of fish sticks, french fries and some green stuff, usually broccoli,  I felt like it was a special treat.

I am not going to be shy about it, this pasta is certainly a splurge. A deliciously scrumptious, I just might want to eat this every day for the rest of my life splurge. Not only is there heavenly heavy cream, but I also throw in some cream cheese and butter for good measure. Mixed [...]

Is it just me or is there a lot  that goes into returning from vacation? Its almost like  I need another one. Between unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping, decorating for fall and returning to the gym and work, I have been one busy girl. But alas, I still need to eat. I just need to do [...]

By now almost everyone is back to school and our regular routines are kicking in. For some this will mean getting kids to school or after school activities and helping them with homework. For others, it means that you will be again spending hours upon hours of doing homework. Either way, time can be a [...]
