Happy Monday! It is still a little icy here and definitely colder that I like. Last week was a bit chaotic. School was canceled on Monday and Tuesday, then delayed Wednesday. The kids had a “normal” day of Thursday, but then it snowed again Friday. They didn’t have early dismissal, but they were about the only ones who stayed all day. After school, we went sledding at a nearby park. … Continue Reading →
Everything I learned in culinary school (part 1)

When I tell someone I went to culinary school, I usually get the same reaction. Their eyes light up and they say something to the effect of “I’ve always wanted to do that.” I usually reply with a negative comment about a lifetime of student loan debt, but the truth is that I did learn a lot while I was there. That’s why I’m starting a new blog series called … Continue Reading →

Hoppin’ John is an old family recipe. I think most southern families have a version of this, but it seems like no two recipes I’ve seen are the same. Growing up, I always had this dish on New Year’s Day. The black-eyed peas are supposed to be good luck. I figure that it can’t hurt to have a little extra luck on other days of the year, so I cook … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! We are iced in here in Fort Worth. There’s not much, but it’s enough to make driving dangerous. Schools are closed and the kids are home. That means I’m not getting anything done today. Darn. Now I have to just bake cookies and read or something. Terrible, right? We had a pretty busy weekend, so everyone is appreciating an extra day to relax and recover. Somehow I lucked … Continue Reading →
Rainbow friendship bracelet
St. Patrick’s Day is a special holiday for many folks with time-honored traditions. Wear your favorite green shirt. Eat green food. Pinch your friends who aren’t wearing green. Mine seem to turn colorblind on the 17th and pinch each other anyway. Not that that’s a whole lot different from every other day of the year. This year I’m helping them make St. Patrick’s Day rainbow friendship bracelets and starting a … Continue Reading →

Clutter. Stuff. It’s everywhere, right? Even on your computer. But it’s important stuff, so you can’t just toss it – or delete it. It needs to be organized so you can find it. For some reason, organizing my computer folders has been a challenge forever. My computer is probably messier than my house, since I can fit as much as I want in there without anyone else noticing. Today I’m … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! I have to admit, I really had to drag myself out of bed this morning. It’s kind of cold and rainy. Also, Hubby and I have been marathoning True Blood, so I haven’t exactly been going to be at my “bedtime”. {Sidebar: Do you have a bedtime?} Shh, don’t tell the kids! We just picked up season 6 from the library. It’s funny how I can tell the … Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! I always feel so motivated, starting a brand new week. I think it might have something to do with sitting down on Sunday afternoon and spending about an hour planning my week. I make a meal plan, check the calendars, and write out my to-do list for the week. It makes a huge difference, knowing what I want/need to accomplish each day. Of course, it doesn’t prevent surprises, … Continue Reading →
