I spent a lot of time this afternoon catching up with some college friends, it was great. First I went to the art show at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society at Slater Park in Pawtucket. While there I met up with one of my best friends from college, Jennifer and another college friend Matt and…… Continue reading Catching up…
Happy Monday morning bloggies! I don’t know about you, but I really dislike Monday mornings. They kind of stink in my book. The entire week lies ahead of you, and one might wonder how they are going to make it through. Well, one day or one hour at a time is my motto on Monday…… Continue reading Monday Morning Surprise
It is great to have a few ‘core recipes’ in your repertoire. Once you have a few recipes you can always fall back on or go to, you can change them up a bit when you feel like it. Tonight I made something, and I am not quite sure what to call it. I think…… Continue reading Core Recipes
Do you splurge on food from time to time? Obviously, I do. One of the best things I treat myself to is fresh dairy milk from Whole Foods and the Crescent Ridge Dairy in Sharon, Massachusetts. The milk from this dairy is amazing. It is so fresh and it tastes so good. They make the…… Continue reading Splurge
Today I spent 90 ¢ at the market. I got away with two red potatoes and a small yellow onion for under a dollar! I almost cannot believe it. I paid with change. Do I really have to deduct the 90¢ from my twenty dollar budget? I paid with change. I did not even break…… Continue reading 90 cents

I honestly…… Continue reading What to do with left over vegetables…
I had a quiet but good day today. I read the paper, had coffee, ate a health breakfast of fruit and almonds: I was thrilled to enjoy blue berries in January. The bananas and cantaloupe were very good and seasonal. I added the almonds for some protein and healthy fat 🙂 For lunch I had…… Continue reading Sunday
Hi All – Today was one of those long days, but it was also a really fast day at work. I didn’t get home until a few minutes after 7 o’clock because I stayed late, and took the train home. I love taking the train. I wish I could do it every day! If only…… Continue reading A Speedy Dinner…
I ended up having a simple piece of whole wheat toast for breakfast. I topped it with a bit of Teddie peanut butter and a smear of strawberry jam. It was wonderful, but not over all compelling. Lunch however, was a different story: Yesterday my mom and sister went to the beach in Southern Rhode…… Continue reading A Fresh Lunch
