Side Dish

I get strange looks when I walk down the hall of my office carrying a stemless wine glass.   I should just throw a box of wine in the office refrigerator to really get them talking!  It’s the perfect size for my parfait.  Hannah actually had bought Great Value (Walmart) brand Greek yogurt and it was delicious!  It wasn’t until just now when I looked to...

What an amazing weather weekend we had!  Not only was the weekend gorgeous, but this was the first full weekend I’ve had off in the longest time – I think since last May?!  I worked the weekends at the farmers markets over the summer, then at The Chopping Block on the weekends.  One of the first things I did was call my Mom up and...

I was so happy to see the sun again yesterday morning, but it was deceiving because it was really cold.  It was 26 when I left, but with the windchill it felt like 18 – me no likey.  But, one day closer to spring weather, so I am hanging my hat on that. My main boss was out yesterday so I was really looking forward...

UPDATE:  This post was updated January 3, 2024 to include the recipe card for this cauliflower mac n cheese.  A great way to hide veggies! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I always hit my snooze at least once.  Although I used to be a complete night owl, that’s turned around the older I’ve gotten.  I don’t know what flips that switch?  Hannah and Jacob can work from 5:00 to...

You will love this one point marinara sauce!! One of the things that I love about the WW app – is that there is something called WW Connect – think of it as a mini-Facebook for WW members.  I love how it will pick out random posts of people to “trend” – let’s say that an online member reached goal, and when they entered the...

It’s been crazy busy at work, which I love.  But yesterday I wore long johns under my pants because my train station doesn’t have warming booths, you just stand on the platform.  It worked perfectly, I wasn’t cold at all waiting for the train.  Only problem was that I got to work and hit the ground running, and wasn’t able to take my long johns...

So I woke up this morning, walked to my computer to publish my blog post and this is what I saw: I was up 45 minutes before I had to leave, and it was still running when I left.  Gah!  Luckily I posted this to my draft folder vs. keeping it on LiveWriter, which I could only access on my desktop. So enjoy these buttery...

It’s the coldest it’s been all year, but I refuse to turn on the heat.  Had Tony still been alive the heat would have been on since about September 1 – even if we had day time temps in the 70s.  Right now the house is at 55 degrees, but I have a sweater on, fuzzy socks and a hot cup of coffee so I...

One of the things I love about my new job is that I am trying new foods that I otherwise might have thought I hated.  When I first read the recipe for the corn and chive pudding before my cooking class last Friday night, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it.  First, it had chives in it, and you all know my aversion...
