Happy birthday to David.  Who probably tries to hide from pictures about as much as I do.  I’m sorry you had to work on your birthday.  I hope you enjoyed what time you did have at home with us.  I am not sorry, however, that I am blogging about you.  I warned you that I [...]

weight watchers: week 2

Thumbnail image for weight watchers: week 2

Tuesdays are my meeting days and I had planned on taking pictures of all of my food since I was off.  I got as far as breakfast and it slipped my mind every time until after everything had been eaten.  I think I was just too sidetracked.  This, however, has become my favorite breakfast.  It [...]

breakfast

I figured I would followup the last post with even more carbs disguised as breakfast. I wish I made more time for breakfast. I think it is absolutely my favorite meal and the one I eat with less frequency. Which is no doubt my fault. If I could just pull myself out of bed a [...]

I love you. I love you in loaves, as rolls, as any varying degree of pastries. You are the bane of my existence.  You are the carbohydrate I can’t seem to give up for the greater good of weight loss and health.  But I love you. yours always, one devout bread lover I don’t get [...]

strawberry jam

June 18, 2011

It’s been April since I did any of this canning and sadly the only time I’ve had strawberries this year.  I usually eat my weight in local strawberries every spring.  Guess that will give me something to look forward to next spring.  I’m so ready for the farms around here to have peaches ready now.  [...]

… make some meatloaf.  I’m not even sure why we thought of meatloaf, but we made it.  I couldn’t even tell you how many years it has been since I’ve seen it, much less ate it.  It did it’s job, though.  Fills you up, makes you feel warm and fuzzy, makes you sleepy so you [...]

It’s strawberry season and it kind of crept up really fast.  Then again the first quarter of this year has went by rather quickly for me.   On thursday, my mom brought me two of these buckets from a local farm and all I wanted to do was make jam. Last year I didn’t get to [...]

biscuits & more simple thinking

April 6, 2011

I was going through my reader last night and catching up on blogs that I haven’t read in a while.   The moment I read this post on Orangette, I knew I had to have those biscuits for breakfast. I’m a southern girl who loves biscuits (okay bread in general) and I’ve never been able to [...]

She’s a year old

It’s been a year, but it really doesn’t seem that long.  Bella has went from sleeping 80% of the day to running around and mimicking everything we do.  She’s her own little person.  While I’m happy and excited to watch her grow into herself, I’m scared to death of the years to come.  I miss [...]

the great bake disaster

Maybe the title should be ‘The Great Cake Pop Massacre’. It’s been a long weekend and sunday isn’t even here yet!  I started off mid afternoon yesterday baking 70 cupcakes, some odd number cake balls, a mini cake for Bella, and some potato salad.  I’ve never made cake balls, though it sure looked pretty darn [...]
