I found a recipe in Everyday with Rachael Ray (the magazine) that was very similar to the lunch I had today – however I adapted it to suit myself. You can find the exact recipe here. I started by putting some pita chips and cheddar cheese in the oven at 35o degrees for 2-3 minutes … Continue reading »

Kids and Curry
I was cleaning out an old school bag last week, trying to gear up for the next school year (I only have 1.5 weeks of summer left!) and I found a card from a family (The Burrows) who’s 2nd grade son I had for math last year. Inside, they had said there was a “standing … Continue reading »
+ 3 little nuggets
My brother’s 3 kids are staying with us for the weekend and it is fun, fun, fun! I can’t wait to have kids of my own. Here are some highlights from this evening… Mac n’ cheese – kid style: I just made a béchamel sauce and added some good old cheddar cheese to it (making … Continue reading »
here comes the sun
It finally feels like summer! I think this is the 4th consecutive sunny day in a row – I love it. Bring on the heat. I woke up this morning, and took Punky on a short bike ride. She got spayed last week, and the vet told us not to let her run or jump … Continue reading »
it sounds so simple I’ve just got to go
I just took the pup for a walk, and I passed a house that was blasting James Taylor from their deck. They were playing the song “Mexico” – which is appropriate because we had Mexican food tonight! I found this recipe somewhere online, I can’t remember where. So – if you are reading this and … Continue reading »
morning drive
Happy Thursday! Thursday is my favorite day of the week. To celebrate, I drove Meeker to work today just for a little extra time with him. Also, I really like listening to a morning radio show called Jesse and Shotgun on a country station here in Denver. So, I got to listen to them chat … Continue reading »
veggies, veggies everywhere
One great thing about the routine of eating together each night, is that it gives Meeker and I a chance to sit down with each other and debrief. I think food has that ability…to allow people to relax and relate to each other while they share a common experience. I think that is why family … Continue reading »
Aaah, mornings
I love mornings. Anytime before 10am is my favorite time of day. Even during the summer, I usually don’t sleep in past 7am. I like the light, the temperature, the radio talk shows, the breakfast…the possibilities! This morning, one of my kitties woke me up wanting to be petted at 6:45am. I got up, got … Continue reading »
something a little more substantial
After the atrocious mid-day meal I had, I wasn’t sooooo hungry for dinner. But I made a meatloaf for Meeker and then sauteed some lovely asparagus, a yellow bell pepper some onions and garlic for a side. I had a few bites of meat loaf and a giant plate of the veggie mess. It was … Continue reading »
Ironic, really.
I have always been a foodie, but only recently started reading food blogs. My friend Lana sent me a link to her friend Emily’s blog: Eatventures. I got obsessed with reading her blog (which led me to others). Super Caloric Chalk Dust was about teaching and eating and being a semi-newlywed. Being relatively newlywed myself, … Continue reading »
