The Hot Toddy

The Hot Toddy

REAL TALK:  I have never (in my LIFE) had a Hot Toddy.  Like NEVER…not when I’m sick, not when I’m healthy…So… when my BFF (Tiffany – remember her??) texted me and asked how I was feeling, she immediately said “I believe strongly in the Hot Toddy”…to […]

Job Search, Bread & Butter … and PUZZLES!

Job Search, Bread & Butter … and PUZZLES!

Day Two of FREEDOM from “the industry”.  I feel like I should create a #hashtag for my life as an unemployed woman…right?  Feel free to comment and let me know what hashtag I should use for these…it’ll get interesting…promise! SO…today…I applied for 25 jobs (!!!) […]

Day 30 – Cheese Tortellini Bolognese

Day 30 – Cheese Tortellini Bolognese

Oh man… I made it to Day 30?!?  I can’t believe it.  I didn’t think I was going to make it to the 5th day of this 31 Day Challenge.  In-SANE. Tonight’s challenge (because, let’s face it, I’m running out of ideas), was to make […]

Day 29 – Bruschetta, MY Way

Day 29 – Bruschetta, MY Way

I am a sucker for anything with cheese.  This is made evident by my last post (actually my Grandma Sylvia’s recipe).  I love cheese. Basic bruschetta…with a twist of mozzarella cheese.

Day 28 – Grandma Sylvia’s Baked Macaroni

Day 28 – Grandma Sylvia’s Baked Macaroni

So my Grandma Sylvia (my father’s side) was an amazing woman.  Best recipes ever, and had a sense of humor a mile long.  I will NEVER forget this recipe.  I’m pretty sure it’s ingrained in my memory forever. If you’re feeling cold, or want some […]

Day 27 – Sausage “Hash”

Day 27 – Sausage “Hash”

Monday.  My BFF Tiffany came over with some stuff that needed to be cooked.  Kind of like a remix on our Chopped days!!  Challenge ACCEPTED!! So, I did what I could…I literally put everything in one dish…and it came out amazing.

Day 26 – Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Day 26 – Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

SUNDAY… October 26 – Greg and I had these pumpkins…so naturally, I wanted the seeds…because…ROASTED…PUMPKIN…SEEDS.  Heck.  Yes. I wish I had a photo of me trying to pull all the seeds out of the insides of those pumpkins.  I’m pretty sure two VERY LARGE pumpkins […]

Day 25 – Grilled Skirt Steak and Baked Potato

Day 25 – Grilled Skirt Steak and Baked Potato

Day 25 was a pretty calm stay-in evening.  Greg wanted steak, and I wasn’t stopping him.  He did the seasoning, cooking, and cleaning!  BONUS!

Day 24 – Roasted Garlic

Day 24 – Roasted Garlic

I’m just going to start Day 24 with a confession.  I LOVE garlic.  To the point of exaggeration.  No joke.  If a recipe calls for 3 cloves, I use 8.  1 bulb?  3.  Not kidding.  And even then, I’m all like…NOT.  ENOUGH.  GARLIC. So…how to […]

Day 23 – Chicken Parm Pizza

Day 23 – Chicken Parm Pizza

Ok – don’t judge…I’m almost 10 days behind on this 31 Day Challenge.  Like I said in this post – it’s not that I’ve forgotten!  I’ve been a good blogger!  I’ve taken pictures of my food, and actually MADE food – I promise!  Ask Greg!! […]
