Jack Frost was knocking at my door this morning…since when is it winter? Thank goodness today was the second to last day of Jon’s soccer practice because I was freezing at babysitting. I had on a long sweater and a full pea coat, but I just don’t do well with cold. I was also hungry and tired after work, so I was pretty darn excited to have this all ready when I came home (it’s just chicken with bbq sauce…

Today was pretty typical. It didn’t really feel like Halloween because all of the festivities took place Saturday night. I went to a noon-time spinning class and then threw together a smorgasbord of things we had lingering in the fridge for lunch. I had a lot of cleaning to do today becauase I haven’t been doing very well with keeping my apartment clean during the work week. I tend to pile my clothes onto my desk chair, so I always…
Today was balmy and rainy, but for some reason, I found the weather beautiful. If it weren’t for the orange leaves everywhere, it would have felt just like the beach after a storm. The foliage has been just gorgeous lately, and I’m hoping this warm weather will encourage the leaves to stay on the trees for a few more days because I’m headed to the mountains the weekend after this one! Despite the downpour earlier today, I still took Jon…
Today was just one of those days. I was sad that my friends were gone, the festivities I had been looking forward to for weeks are over, and my stomach was cramping because that just how it rolls. I really needed an attitude adjustment. I took the weekend off from the gym, so I knew it was in the cards after work, but the thought of going straight home was too enticing. The couch won. Usually, once I go home…

I’ve been meaning to make chicken salad for a while because I thought it’d be good for lunches and because Matt loves it. I found some free-range organic chicken at a great price this weekend. It was on the bone, so I figured it would the perfect opportunity to put a fall twist on chicken salad. Surprise! More…
Anyone have an exciting Friday? I started mine with another brew from our Just Beer collection… The Moby D doesn’t have huge flavor but it’s dark, smooth, and malty. A good beer if you plan on having more than one drink or are trying to fit pizza in your stomach as well…. I finally made homemade crust!! I found this recipe for thin crust in my new Best of Food & Wine cookbook from Matt’s parents. It was so easy…
Grey skies here in Boston and the air is getting chilly! But, my lunch really warmed me up. And so did this card I got from my Mom! There may have been something exciting to help me celebrate the changing of seasons inside…. I was also pleasantly surprised by the taste of my bean dip today! Maybe beans just needed to soak up the flavors overnight because this was zesty and delicious with pretzels. I guess I’m on an Oh…
