Finding Life beyond the struggles
Once upon a time, when I first began Above My Waves, I had a day called Monday Meals in which I wrote about my adventures in cooking. It has, admittedly, been a while since I posted about my cooking adventures, but today is a special day, my friends. You see, yesterday I had a true... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! How are you enjoying this fine Monday? We had a hectic morning and yet it was, apparently, exactly what I needed to start my week off actively. Hopefully the trouble that caused such an uproar does not repeat itself. Oh well, guess Monday was just living up to its reputation. Last week was... Continue Reading →

I have been a stay at home mom for almost six years now and I'm pretty sure it took four or five of those years to figure out a dinner cooking schedule I could live with. I suppose becoming a SAHM was more of an adjustment than I thought it would be. I'd spent the... Continue Reading →
In honor of today's holiday, whatever you may call it, I thought it would be fun to talk about the delicious Indian Taco. On a day when the lines of division are in the very holiday name, I wanted to share something that I feel brings all kinds of people closer together. I was even... Continue Reading →
I love a good soup. Who doesn't? Did you know that soup has supposedly existed since around 20,000 BC? I honestly did not know that until today. Also, the first cookbook in the U.S. included recipes for soups. So yeah, soup has been around for a long time. When the nights get cold, soup is... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, if you had asked me what food I would choose to eat every day for the rest of my life, I would've said Mashed Potatoes without question. I loved mashed potatoes. Instant. Real from scratch. Mainly covered in butter and sour cream. Yum! Thanks to some dental work when I... Continue Reading →
