Tonight I’m headed back to my hometown for a little time with my family and friends. Since my best and most blog-worthy meal will no doubt be the dinner I have when I arrive, I’m going to hold off on my post until then. For now, enjoy some lovely pics of my fam. (Don’t be [...]

We’ll begin with last night’s supper. Salad is on the menu this week since I’m only home for 2 dinners.  I figured it’s an easy way to make something healthy without wasting a bunch of food. Just have to eat lots of veg for 2 nights – which is probably for the best! This was awesome. It [...]

Good evening! It’s been a hectic day, which is why you are just now seeing breakfast! I had my MRI this morning which was a weird experience. I wasn’t worried going in – even though I know some people get claustrophobic in there I don’t really have that phobia. But when the tech told me I [...]
