Morei did it! all that leftover chicken and sirloin kebabs . . . gone! and it didn’t even take me all week. a little creative recycling and a straight-up repeat for me and it’s done. Monday: couscous with the chicken and onions, add red and green bell peppers. everyone’s happy. Tuesday: steak on salad for […]
Morei’ve been trying really hard to keep my daily calories balanced with 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. unofficially Zone-ish, i guess. anyway, was super low on protein today leading into dinner, so i figured some nice chunks of red meat were my best bet to get right! sirloin kebabs marinated in oil, soy […]
Morethe Polish/German version of this dish mixes a good helping of my husband is traveling again with equal parts of there are a thousand leftovers in the fridge and i’m going to enjoy being lazy. throw in a dash of 9 more pounds to go, so who really needs a whole meal for dinner every […]
Morei am such an incredible nerd. i wish i had a sweet picture of Spy and myself from a romantic anniversary outing yesterday—kissy-facing and clinking champagne glasses on a rooftop patio as the sun sets over the Atlanta skyline behind us with a sparkle in our eyes and rainbows and baby unicorns hovering nearby . […]
Moreever feel like if you eat another piece of chicken, you will die? i mean actually die? yeah, me too. so, perusing the meat counter for something, anything to buy for dinner tonight that wasn’t the same old thing we’ve had 100 times this month, the other white meat seemed like a good change of […]
Morethe travel schedule around here has been insane lately. this time, Spy is off to Richmond this evening for an overnighter to check on family. in the scheme of things, it could be tons worse, but as much as he’s been gone for work the past couple months, it feels like we’re merely ships passing […]
Moreif it’s a day in April, it must be someone’s birthday in this household. after the whole four extravaganza, i was honestly too mentally exhausted to even think about Spy’s birthday today. and no, there will definitely not be a celebration or post for Parker’s birthday on Wednesday. i did at least manage to throw together […]
Morecannot believe Miss Girl had another birthday this weekend! god, i must be getting old. we celebrated her fourth with all the appropriate fanfare, including nearly 20 friends, a bounce house and cupcakes. and of course some adult beverages for the mommies and daddies. after weeks of discussion, we finally settled on a Pajamas in the Park theme, […]
Moreit has been an insane few weeks. with the husband half a world away and me holding down the fort as a working single mommy and planning a certain someone’s 4th birthday party all on my own, cooking real food has been one of the absolute last things on my list. chicken nuggets for dinner again? sure. […]
Morephoto: OnMyPlate.co.uk that year, in early in January, the famous Miser brothers made one of their annoying little deals that they make from time to time. the two agreed that Heat Miser would let his brother, Snow Miser, put the freeze on Southtown that Monday morning (itty-bitty snowflakes, schools closed for days and all). and in return, […]
Moreif anyone had told me 3 years ago that i would have done a practice round of the cupcakes i intend to take to school for Miss Girl’s second birthday, i would have told them they were fucking insane. 3 years ago, i had no idea i would be dealing with mega-mommies who somehow find […]
