Carrot Experimentation
When living in a house full of picky eaters, sometimes it's a struggle to get them to eat something. Add possible food allergies and intolerances to that and it becomes a huge hassle. Well, it's a good thing I'm learning to cook then, isn't it? A couple of weeks ago I decided to experiment with... Continue Reading →
Tracking for a Healthier Me
Can we talk about Food Tracking? Before this week, the only time I have seriously tracked what was eaten was when I did it for Ade's allergies. That's it. I may have done it for myself once upon a time, long, long ago, but...actually I think that might've been my grocery list I was writing... Continue Reading →
Trying Out the Red Wine
A couple of weeks ago, my husband accidentally bought me Red Cooking Wine instead of White. I wasn't upset. I just shrugged my shoulders and said that the taste would probably be a little different but it wasn't a big deal. I had not used the red cooking wine before, though I do prefer drinking...

Called to Move
This past week, over and over I am seeing the reminder to not be selfish, to not be self-centered, and to extend God's love selflessly. I know that it's a fight during normal times. When fear is pounding on our door demanding to come in, the easiest thing is to shove everything in front of... Continue Reading →
How to Survive a Quarantine
My son hasn't been to tumbling class in two weeks and it shows. I cannot tell you how many times I have told him to stop flipping or doing headstands on the couch today alone. So many times. This morning I used my kitchen counter to do a few barre exercises. We're not missing our... Continue Reading →
The Generational Dish
I’ve always thought of my family’s “special” recipe as being a dessert called “Green Stuff”. That is until a couple of years ago when I learned that not only do other people know what green stuff is, they also call it green stuff! I was so shocked I had to take a poll to find... Continue Reading →
