We’re very happy in this household. Not just because of The Win, but because Matt got another job offer! Now he just has to decide – which will affect the location: DC, Dallas, or Atlanta?? I’m also pleased, because Kat introduced me to a fabulous recipe that I made tonight and loved! Loaded with flavor and veggies and very satisfying. We haven’t been cooking with much meat lately, so it was nice to get a big hunk of chicken:) My…

Sometimes simple is best. Bow-ties with feta chicken sausage, arugula, and white cheddar. Hit the spot. Bow ties with shredded cheese always reminds me of one of my friends who would make “homemade mac n cheese” when we were in middle school. Tonight is the infamous basketball rivalry and I’m looking forward to a beer on a weeknight. I don’t have my hopes up though, because I’ve learned that the outcome is pretty much random. That’s why it’s such a…
Hi Friends. This was one of the best dinners I’ve ever made. And it just materialized at the last minute in my kitchen! You see, I had Matt turn the crock pot on this morning, with a bottle of TJ’s bbq sauce, a can of beer, and some pork shoulder inside. But I didn’t really have any ideas as to how I wanted to eat it. I usually like saucy meats over rice, but had the urge for something different.…
Gym, lunch meeting, computer work, dinner. Ya know, the usual Monday. But this is one of my very favorite dinners! This time, with spanish rice, kidney beans, sweet potatoes, avocado, real sour cream (!) and sweet potato chips. I was in heaven for the whole bowl. Speaking of bowls, this reminds me of my super bowl creation. We’ve been invited to two parties this year, so I’m looking forward to seeing what people are serving. After all, food is more…
I was having so much fun on the couch, that I almost forgot to blog. So without further ado, today’s thoughts: 1. In an attempt to not burn my tongue this morning, I burned the very back of my throat. At least my taste-buds are ok. 2. Omg, the weather. 3. What happened to ‘The Situation’ – some sort of breakdown? I’d have one too if I were on the show… 4. I’ve made Anne’s burgers, what, five times now?…
I’m so in love with the south. 65 degrees in January? I had a faculty meeting this afternoon. I had been dreading it, but felt better after tasting the chocolate chip cheese ball someone brought!! I also got out an hour early, leaving time for a nice stroll in the sunshine. I always say I’m going to skip exercise and just take a walk, but I never actually go. I’m always glad when I do. Especially because my neighborhood has…
Wow, you guys sure do have great info about bath mats! I need to consult with you more often. Another day at home means I’m very ready to go to work tomorrow. It’s amazing how energizing a day of rest can be. Since I was at home today, I made a point to fill the crock pot with dinner! I used a previous favorite recipe and it turned out great. I love big messy piles of food. And yall know…
Happy Monday. The day took on a whole new meaning when I didn’t have to get up at six! I was all smiles this morning. I caught up on a ton of emails, did four loads of laundry, met with partners about an event we’re planning, and straightened the apartment. It was just like the good old days in grad school when I could just take a day to catch up on everything. My peppy mood faded a bit though,…
I’ve been craving sunny, tropical foods in an attempt to counteract winter (not that we’re having much of one down here!). Thus, the cuban food. I think it also has to do with the mojito and mint julep I had over New Year’s. As soon as Christmas is over, I’m ready for spring! This little dinner was a thrown-together creation from the pantry – tilapia pan seared with an awesome spicy Williams Sonoma seasoning that Matt’s mom gave me! I…
