Poor don’t buy rich. Wise words spoken by my father when listening to me ramble on about some things that I wanted.  He couldn’t be more right (insert violin solo here).      But poor does go out to dinner with parents knowing that they will be picking up the bill. Boo-yah. My parents were […]

In the mean time I spend 99 percent of my evenings at home with a home cooked meal. Girls gotta save. Also my son is currently in a “throwing food” stage. I rather avoid hitting the nice lady sitting next to me. And I obviously love to eat at home, or why the hell else would […]

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 […]

I once had a food blog prior to this one. It actually was being read. And commented on. And featured on some others websites. And occasional “desserts you should try” articles. No awards, it was only “live” for six months. I started the blog as a distraction for the troubles I was facing in my […]
