Last night, I had a craving. An intense one. A weird one. I really, really wanted pancakes…cooked like biscuits. I envisioned them with gravy pooled on top. I could taste the flakey goodness with a crispy outside. My only problem was…I had never heard of them. It’s hard to describe something you’ve never heard of. [...]
My meal plan has been difficult to follow this week. Not because of my crazy apprehensions this time, surprisingly enough, but because the sun has decided to camp out in my backyard and share its heat quite generously. Kind of like the little old lady who wants to share all of her extra soups *just* [...]
This one takes me back a few years to our tiny galley kitchen in the way cool townhouse, with Fuzzy (then just a few months old) flopping around in the living room floor with Hubby while I tried oh-so-hard to start cooking good foods for us. Of all of the things I tried, many of [...]
Are you impressed with how early I’m posting this? Okay, not early in the day..but check it out: There are meals planned for today. The day after grocery shopping. In fact, I actually had the meal plan finished before we started shopping. No, the world isn’t ending, I just don’t like guessing on what to [...]

Maybe it is because of that “halfway” mark that we pass moving into the next month. Maybe it’s just another weird numbers thing. There are a few landmarks like that…the start of the [...]
Dave Ramsey (sortof) jokes that when you are living frugally, you eat beans & rice and rice & beans. The joke is supposed to be that it is blah and a sacrifice. I think it can be amazing, especially with casseroles like this.
The stronger your morning is, particularly in the first trimester, the more likely you are to feel great as the day proceeds. I heart crockpots.
If you like tabouli, you will probably really dig this stuff. It’s definitely a summertime dish, with the minty flavor and best-served-coldness. I think, though, that I have a problem with tahini that I need to overcome. It’s just a personal problem and nothing for anyone else to worry about. When I was pregnant with [...]
Whether you whip these up after breakfast for a mid-morning snack or with yesterday’s leftovers for this morning’s breakfast, the mush cakes are quick enough for a breakfast on the run or a sudden craving.
