    Does anyone else seem like you make and eat the same meals? The dinner rut is a tough one to deal with because we all have our favorites, comfort foods, and quick-on-the-table meals that are the family approved stand bys. Don’t get me wrong – pizza night is not to be trifled with, but you…

    I’m a Daddy’s Girl. Always have been, always will be. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mom very dearly, and as I get older, I see the best parts of her in me. I know I’m blessed beyond words to have the parents that I do. But daddy was the first man in my life,…

    Today is (yesterday was) chocolate caramel day! So obviously my perfect intentions for staying ahead of the game this year didn’t work out as perfectly as I’d hoped. Does anyone else have this problem? That’s okay – chocolate makes everything better, so let’s focus on that. Combine chocolate with caramel and you take “better” to…

    This is the year that I get completely organized, stay ahead of the game, and don’t let circumstances control the direction of my life. *Cue Laugh Track* Each January, like so many others, I make goals and resolutions to get my life organized. Then life sits back and just laughs and laughs. Well this year I’m doing a…

    Sometimes Pinspiration strikes at the most random times; for example, while walking through the grocery store at 5:15 pm while you have no idea what you’re going to make for supper. There were these beautiful thick boneless pork chops on sale. When I say thick, I mean about 2 inches thick – perfect for splitting…

    Some of you know that I’ve been working very hard to change to a healthier lifestyle and lose weight, although the weight loss is secondary to getting healthy and fit. The problem is that I also love to cook and bake, and I don’t always want to choose the celery and peanut-butter rather than a rich dessert.…

    I. Love. Coffee. Anyone who has known me for 10 minutes (or maybe less) is aware of this. I even worked at Starbucks for a couple of years to support my habit. BTW, it’s a great company and part of my retirement plan. Fellow coffee lovers, check out my COFFEE board. It’s full of delicious,…

    Work Birthdays mean treat days. They give the perfect opportunity to make delicious desserts without the guilt since everyone else helps eat them. The added break time is just an added bonus. Since the Birthday Girl loves chocolate and coconut, I thought a German Chocolate Cake would be the perfect treat. Another upside about this…

    All bloggers get the occasional case of writer’s block. Sitting down to write this post, my brain just wasn’t coming up with a satisfactory intro. As I was looking for inspiration, I started singing quietly to myself, “Do You Want to Build a Sandwich” to the tune from Disney’s Frozen. Those who are very close…

    I’m just starting the second week of a 30-day Complete Transformation Challenge to get healthier and lose some weight. I’ve seen a lot of these challenges lately for a variety of products and different number of days (24-day challenge, 30-day challenge, 90-day challenge, etc.) so it seems to be a big thing going on right now.
