I. Quit. My. Job.

I. Quit. My. Job.

Yes – you read that title correctly.  I.  QUIT.  MY.  JOB.  Four words in a sentence that you never really want to say…until you feel you need to…I have been unhappy in this INDUSTRY for quite some time.  The last company I was at, I mainly […]

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

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 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 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 […]
