You know how you see a recipe, and you think, “I am totally making that soon!”  That’s how I felt about Renee’s baked eggs with a spicy habenero sauce.  I’ve known that dish to be called eggs in purgatory, but either way, its eggs that are baked in a spicy tomato sauce.  You can dip toasted bread in the sauce along with the eggs.  Yum! ...

I think it’s safe to say that most men don’t want to know, talk about, hear complaints about cramps, etc.  But no one more than my husband.  I, of course, would never send him to the store to buy them, but I left a message on our answering machine saying “I am stopping by to pick up tampons on my way home from work, do...

Since I didn’t grocery shop, I’ve been trying to think of things to put together for my breakfast and lunch this week.  I realized I had three remaining breakfast tacos in my downstairs freezer – score!  I defrosted them in the microwave first, then put them in the toaster oven at work.  In looking through my pantry, I found this hot sauce.  Not sure when...

So there is one clear difference when Tony is not home and I am home by myself.  Mind you, that doesn’t happen very often.  Even with a household of two people, I think I can count on one hand how many times in recent months I’ve been home alone.  You see, Tony LOVES t.v.  He loves movies, sports, MMA – you name it.  From the...

This weekend actually feels like the beginning of August – temps in the high 70s this weekend, no rain in the forecast. I love it! On the way to work I picked up another protein box (thanks Heather!) for breakfast.  There was a bit of a line, but I wasn’t in a hurry, so I had time to look in the pastry case.  Shouldn’t have...

It’s funny when I looked back at yesterday’s post, it seemed so long to me, but what I realized was that it took a long time to write it – nearly an hour.  It’s because I had to sift through 300+ photos and organize them for the post.  But the recipe for the kati rolls is worth the wait. While this recipe may seem complicated,...

The final day of my NYC trip!  Thank you so much for letting me indulge and share this trip with you.  I slept like a baby the night of the cook-off.  Not that I don’t normally sleep like a baby, but I had a hard time falling asleep the night before because I kept thinking about what was going to happen the next day. Luckily,...

I really had no idea what a big deal the day of the cook off was going to be.  We had Sunny Anderson for 8 hours under contract, so the pace was both fast and slow at the same time.  I got up at 7, showered, and then headed to the Green Room – I actually didn’t realize that Extended Stay had suites – it...

Longtime readers will remember that my step-son, husband AND Mom have birthdays on September 21, September 22 and September 23!  My Momma turns 74 years young today.  While she’s busy playing Mahjong and having a meeting at church today – I’ll be celebrating her birthday on Sunday with a potluck at her house.  Hope you have a great day Momma!  Charlie and Jennifer, you will...

I would like to propose that I only work two days a week, get to travel, yet still make the same amount of money I make now.  Mkay?!   But somehow I don’t think my work would accept that proposal!  I am like the “glue” that holds everything together at work.  If something goes wrong, I am the first to be told about it and asked...
