  A couple of years ago, I dropped the resolution setting because I rarely remembered them 2 weeks later unless it was because I was failing miserably at keeping them. In 2011, I started the year with some new ideas, from a door,  of all places.  And because I reflected on them often, I’m using …

Yeah, I don’t have it. I have the post-holiday funk. Because fever and major head congestion decided to invade me again, I’ve done NOTHING the past 2 days other than sleep and rotate between hot and cold baths, watch the entire season 1 of GLEE, and wish my leftover holiday sweets tasted as good as …

The football season is almost over and I have survived it without pizza and game day cupcakes. Tonight, I conquered the pizza, thanks to Udi’s pizza crust. It was so easy. I decided what I wanted, built the pizza, and baked for a few minutes. I wanted a simple beef and cheese. As far back …
