It’s Abraham Lincoln’s birthday today. It’s also my mom’s. She would have been 56 today. She died October 23rd, 2014. A day I will never forget. It was sort of a shock. She was diagnosed with extensive lung cancer late August/early September 2014. By the time her cancer was discovered it had progressed to her […]
I have thing for rice. Or noodles. Whichever. I love them. Or bread. Or potatoes. Maybe I actually just have thing for carbs? My husband thinks I am such a weirdo, but I could literally sit down and eat a whole bowl of rice/noodles and butter. Super unhealthy, but super delicious! So anytime I can […]
I’m just going to say it. I hate cauliflower. I don’t like the smell or the taste or the texture. I don’t even really like the color. I don’t know why, but I’ve always had an aversion to cauliflower. But my husband loves it. He is a really good vegetarian because he loves all vegetables. […]
I love potatoes and I love ranch. So this recipe is one of my favorites. Maybe even THE favorite. You take some delicious red skin potatoes and throw a little Ranch seasoning on them and boom! Party in your mouth! My husband and I lived with his mom for a few years before we got […]
When I (re)started my blog, I joined a 30 day blogging challenge to help myself blog everyday and get back into the habit of writing all the time. It has been really fun and also much harder than I thought! One of the challenges is to do a recap of the blogs you posted for […]

For today’s recipe, I decided to take my favorite peanut butter banana bread recipe (since my freezer is overflowing with bananas) and add a little punch of Nutella for World Nutella Day! I will start by saying that one of the reasons I love this banana bread recipe is because it […]
Usually I make refried beans in my Crock Pot using black beans and pinto beans, but it requires a lot of planning and time. Sometimes I just don’t have that! So this quick and easy refried beans recipe is awesome if you are in a pinch and need some refried beans! You can easily make […]
Every month my husband’s office assigns someone to bring bi-weekly lunches. Lunch is every other Monday during an office meeting. That person can make lunch, have lunch catered, assign a potluck or ask everyone to bring their own lunch. January just happened to be my husband’s month. It always fun (and a little nerve wracking) to […]
Hi all! I completed my gestational diabetes test today. Something that I was really, really dreading! But it turned out to not be so bad! After fasting for 12 hours (no food or drink), you are to down this orange (some places have other flavors) drink in 2 minutes. I had heard that it tastes […]
I’ve been a vegetarian for a few years now and one of the things that I really miss is Sloppy Joe. I know, I know… You’d think I would miss steak or bacon or something really meaty. And I did, at the beginning. But now that it has been so long, I only want those […]
