Archives7 Salads I Want to Try This Spring (WFMW)
I read somewhere that April is the new New Year's -- or, maybe more accurately, can be considered a New Year's Do-Over. I'm not sure this is official or anything, but I'm going to go with it. I mean, I'm going to go with it in the morning. Because I might possibly be...
The Meal I Make Almost Every Single Week
Lately I've been trying harder to menu plan and grocery shop and all those other things that I should do and want to do and am always glad I did afterwards but find it nearly impossible to do on a consistent basis. I've been mildly successful. (Though don't expect...
20 Delicious Dips for Game Day
Dips are my favorite food group. Sometimes they're my favorite part of a party, if I'm honest. (You know that song, "Here" by Alessia Cara? You know, the introverts' theme song of 2016? I love it - but I have to wonder if she'd be so bummed out being stuck at that...
I’m Not Sorry I Don’t Cook Everything From Scratch
I don't travel a lot by myself, just a couple times a year. Basically I do it just enough for both my family and me to forget HOW TO DO IT in between trips. That means that two weeks ago, before I went to a conference in South Carolina, we were all struggling a little...
Mmmm…a New Breakfast Tradition for Our Weekends

Family Recipe: Strawberry Bruschetta
Okay, after all my talk about S'mores (on Facebook) and delicious but not exactly diet-friendly recipes (on Wednesday), I thought we'd better end the week on a lighter note. Get it? LIGHTER note? Because this recipe includes fruit? And no bacon? Right. You might have...
WFMW: Trying New Recipes
I love Pinterest. One place to save all the great ideas I find and things I want to do? Count me in! Thousands of pins in, as a matter of fact. Of course those thousands of pins are sorted into dozens of specific boards, but it can still be overwhelming to sift...
WFMW: Oreo Magic Brownies
As I was working on some blog planning today, I realized that I missed a big day. National Oreo Day was last month, apparently. And we missed it! Since I love all things Oreo and cookies-and-cream-flavored, this is indeed sad. Since I've rejoined Weight Watchers, this...
WFMW: Make-Ahead Mini Quiches
I am not a morning person. [People who have lived with me, feel free to hashtag that with #understatement...] I'm not. I like staying up late and do it even when I shouldn't, even when I have to get up early (or what morning people call "late"). So mornings are not my...
