1.25.11

Considering the SABOTAGE attempts on my weight loss executed this weekend by Lisa (wine! flatbread! molten chocolate cake!) and Justice Ny (banana split!!?), I was pleasantly surprised at this morning's weigh-in.

They Mixed It. We Kicked It.

9.15.10

Last weekend we invited close friends over for a Labor Day BBQ.  The weather was beautiful and, in uncharacteristic fashion, I took an extremely laid-back approach to the gathering. We kept the menu simple and decided to focus on hanging out with our friends to mark the end of a ...

Get Your Beef On: It’s a Giveaway!

2.25.10

There's a running joke in our family; whenever my mom and I are out dining somewhere together and someone politely asks "is there anything you don't eat?" we both laugh and say "unfortunately, no!" It's true - we love food. And that love includes beef. Some of my favorite ...

Hello? Yes, I’d Like to Order Takeout

1.31.10

So I'm sitting in the hair salon under the dryer (yes, they have wifi, woot!!) trying to plan my dinner menu for the week so that I can hit the grocery store as soon as I duck out of here. I realized that coming up with meal ideas is ...
