For my spinach salad recipe (which we took to Paige and Greg’s house for Thanksgiving), I needed to cook a pound of bacon. I didn’t feel like doing batch after batch in a pan, so I cooked it in the oven. So easy! You know that pre-cooked bacon you can buy in the store? You…
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and HomeGoods. What Is It? HomeGoods is a store where you can find all sorts of items for your home – décor, kitchen things, even some furniture! My Thoughts: I had never actually been to a HomeGoods stand-alone store, but always loved the décor section in the back…
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay. What Is It? BlogHer and Olay gave me the chance to try out Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with Cooling Hydration. Kind of a mouthful of a name, but it’s a sleek little bottle that promises to give me refreshed, younger-looking skin. My Thoughts: I don’t know about…
Shortbread is probably one of my favorite cookies. What can I say? Butter is awesome. And it is one of the specific things I’ve missed a bit since going grain-free. So when I came across this recipe, I had to try it out. It’s originally from Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, a book I…
Today, Anneliese turned four months old. It’s amazing how time moves so quickly! It seems like just last week, she was this floppy newborn, but now she’s a whole separate person! She can even stand up if we balance her. She’s got sturdy little legs for sure. Not floppy anymore. She gives the sweetest expressions,…
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bliss Living. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was still pregnant, I started thinking about possibly getting one of those mom necklaces. Not the tacky blingy ones that say #1 MOM! in rhinestones 4” tall in the middle of your chest… and those…
Yesterday we got to spend Thanksgiving with some sweet friends of ours – Paige and Greg, Paige’s parents and grandmother, and a couple other aviators. It was low-key and relaxing, and we all just hung out and chatted and ate good food. It’s really comforting to have good friends nearby when we’re so far from…
Anneliese wants to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. How did you spend yours?
Now that I seem to have my mind back (maybe it was the massage I got today!), I can write this up for you. It’s very tasty, and makes a LOT of soup. We froze about half of it. I think it makes 8-10 servings. I threw this together out of my own head, but…
I’ve been trying and trying to write up this recipe… but my mind is blank. So sorry, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see how I made this: Also? It was goooood. While my mind is (mostly) blank, I’m totally completely stuck on the fact that November is almost over. 2010 is almost over….
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel. You guys, I use my computer a LOT. And my old computer was constantly warm, even after replacing the cooling system. I just worked it like a farm mule. The new one seems to be doing a better job at keeping up with me. Things I’ve…
I don’t know why, but I’ve been on a chocolate kick lately. Paleo hot chocolate, chocolate-dipped macaroons, and now this. I wanted to make some chocolate milk but we didn’t have any of the powdered stuff or chocolate syrup, so I whipped up my own. It was so easy that I’m wondering why I haven’t…
