My friend Heather asked me to do another guest post for her blog. I realized I was suffering from a pretty significant case of “writer’s block” as I tried to come up with ideas for something to blog about. It’s been weeks…most of the summer, actually, since I’ve had any inspiration to write anything…or do anything, for that matter (oh thank you, Mitch Daniels and your Dumb Stupid Time…). I… Continue Reading
Menu? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Menu…
Well, at least that’s what it seems like these last few weeks. I have gotten very lazy about menu planning. In fact, it’s Wednesday night and I should have a menu planned and coupons organized by now. And, well, I don’t! The pantry and fridge are getting pretty bare, so it was a Throw-Something-In-A-Pan-And-Pray kind of night. It actually turned out very tasty! Seems like some of my best meals… Continue Reading

While I do not believe that whether a woman covers her head or not determines where she will spend eternity, I… Continue Reading
Suppertime, You Used to be My Friend…
Recently, I realized that I am beginning to dread the hour or so immediately before suppertime at my house these days. Probably mostly due to the lack of planning on my part…but also because that time of the day has become vapid…I’m bored with food. I don’t even really want to try new foods. I don’t want to bother with eating. My family…well, they expect to be fed and fed… Continue Reading
Friday Night is Pizza Night!
This household is a big, big fan of pizza. We eat pizza every week, typically on Fridays. That started when I was doing grocery shopping on Fridays and getting home late in the evening and I did not feel like looking at any more food, much less preparing it…so I’d grab some frozen pizzas for a quick meal. Since I’m trying to accomplish two challenging tasks…preparing and serving healthy (or… Continue Reading
