We had two more snowy days this weekend. Are you noticing a theme to the blog these days? The first snow happened Friday night into Saturday morning. Thankfully the snow stopped around 9am so I could get to a Bridal Shower without a problem later in the day!The second snow storm went from mid-day Sunday…… Continue reading Chicken Cacciatore
Like most people, I love the weekends. I love sleeping in (just a little!) and having relaxing days when I can. Even on days where I have a lot of plans or errands to run, I always try to find an hour to relax in the morning. One of the things I do to relax…… Continue reading Weekend Breakfasts
I find that I am often thinking that I am making dinner in a pinch. It probably is not the case as much as I think it is. Often if I am in the kitchen I have everything I need and I am making dinner – I am usually all in. But this past Sunday…… Continue reading Dinner in a Pinch
As I was driving to work today, I was so excited about receiving my second shipment from Plated this afternoon. I planned my evening in my head. Because I would not have to go to the grocery store or think much about dinner, I could go for a run after work and throw in a…… Continue reading A Change of Dinner Plans

We were heading out to Home Depot to buy bags and bags of mulch for the front yard, and I realized that we needed something for dinner. I quickly went…… Continue reading Saturday Night: Penne, Kale & Chicken Recipe

I know it sounds weird, but from time to time I have put myself on a serious budget to see how little money…… Continue reading A New Twist on Lasagna
Today is the first day of Autumn – my favorite season! I think that Autumn is beautiful. Weather wise you cannot ask for a better combination: the temperature most of the time is lovely, the mornings are crisp and cool, it sometimes heats up in the afternoon, and things cool right down in the evenings…… Continue reading Autumn
Hi there, everyone! So far I am sort of enjoying the couple of days I have been basically trapped in the house and snowed in. Thankfully I was really prepared with a lot of healthy food – so that really helped a lot. The other thing that has made things manageable is that I did…… Continue reading Blizzard of 2013
The other night I was so sad to learn that Nora Ephron passed away on Tuesday. I loved her writing, and I will always remember this one article she wrote that was in The New Yorker about her apartment in New York. I just loved it. I loved Heartburn and my mom loved I Feel…… Continue reading Good Advice
