my lavender blues

  My weekend wasn’t anything exciting. I ended up sitting my two-year-old-going-on-fifteen-year-old sassy niece along with my currently stage-five-clinger son so I basically wanted to pop my head off. And by that I mean I really wanted a glass of wine at all times. Too bad I’m a cheap drunk, one drink and I’m in […]

Roasted Broccoli with Soy & Asiago

    SO with holidays approaching and the weather cooling down my body has entered the stage of hyperthagia. Which is a bit of a problem being that it is only September and I might already need to be whipping out the fat pants….. F$#@.         My son has also been ill, […]

Cinnabon Pull Apart Bread

    Easy like Sunday morning. That is todays goal, as last night was a ROUGH night. My son overloaded on every berry he could get his hands on. Between the neighbors and niece he was able to manipulate everyone into giving him more, and more, and apparently far more than his little body could […]

And you know what happens on Monday? All I think about is the “diet” that I told myself I would begin while drinking some […]

It’s strange to sit back and look at your life and try to figure out how you got to where you are today. Currently I’m sitting back (with a glass of wine the size of Dark Helmets dome piece) and am trying to figure out just that. I don’t regret anything, I’ve done regrets before […]

Crispy Baked Asparagus Fries

Aside from my habitual baking I try to cook my main meals a little on the “healthier” side. Healthy as in home cooked with whole ingredients. My grandpa always said when you enter the grocery store, only shop the perimeters. This forces you away from most packaged and processed options. If i didn’t follow his rules […]

Easy Oven Roasted Chicken Breast with Tomatoes & Pesto

  Currently I am typing this post while munching on incredibly burnt granola. But don’t you worry I will not allow you to make the same mistake as me. Or I pray your memory/ attention span is more than that of a goldfish and does not allow you to make what was supposed to be […]
