What are you having for lunch? Quinoa is surprisingly becoming my favorite go-to-grain, replacing both oatmeal and rice. “I wonder if anyone has come up with a quinoa cookie?” *she thinks to herself. With the invention of Pinterest, I’m sure I could probably find it their. With nice alliteration too… To prove my point, I…
Have you ever tried to do something that hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? This something turns out completely different, yet still awesome? It’s kind of like writing a paper that naturally progresses in a different direction. Failing at something only to get a better result because of the failure. Or marrying…
What is one of the best ways to save money on food? Make it from scratch! There are a few things that aren’t worth the time and trouble, unless you really enjoy the process. I don’t really think I could make bread cheaper than I can buy it at Costco, especially with the invention…

I have a secret to tell you. It’s different than my confession from last week. It’s a big one, so you have to promise not to tell anyone! Do you promise? Ok, I’m trusting you… This is not the first time I’ve tried this recipe. In fact, it flopped twice before I came up with…
I have a confession to make. I LOVE soup. I know, not very juicy, but I’m certain that I love soup more than the average person. I always have. My favorites are creamy tomato, potato, broccoli cheese, beer cheese, clam chowder… Do you see the trend here? Soups full of cream sure are comforting, but…
My husband can be stubborn at times, like I’m sure most husbands can be (and wives to be fair). I created this little gem of a recipe after the mother of all marital fights. Ok, it really wasn’t that big, but Jeff and I got into a fight because he had inadvertently skipped breakfast and…
Want to hear a joke? (Or read a joke, technically.) What happens to a scone when you have eaten it? It’s scone. (source: http://www.jokebuddha.com/Scone#ixzz2tJjodEQI) I know, it’s pretty bad. I just typed scone jokes into the search bar, which proves that you can find anything, and I mean anything, on the internet. Because who wants…
I have a thing for popcorn. I don’t think my husband is jealous, but I’m not sure if he knows how much of a think I have for it. It’s happiness in a bowl, much like a latte is happiness in a cup. We’re not supposed to have emotional attachments to food, but I can’t…
