SANDRA LEE????? Come on! STOP with the SCARY-SCAPES!! Put down the “cocktail” with 1 part fruit juice and 895 parts vodka/gin/schnapps/liquid butane. What has happened to you over the years?? You used to be fun! You were once a little flaky but with a certain smidge of adorable-ness. But for the past few years, I’ve …

of pumpkin oatmeal. Words do not exist that describe pumpkin butter. (Yes it has sugar. I was devastated when I read the list at the store. But then I read the nutrition information. 3 grams per 2 Tablespoons. That won’t be a problem.) And next to the pumpkin butter is the fabulous pumpkin granola. This …
It’s been one week without added table sugar, HFCS, or evaporated cane juice and I’m very pleased with the results. Do I still crave a fizzy coke? One afternoon I craved one so bad I would have sold Frankie for one, but it was 100% due to stress and a bad headache. I instead, went …
I look forward to this time of year. Fall, football (ROLL TIDE!!) and pumpkins. This year, we wanted to do our pumpkin carving using metal cookie cutters. I saw this on some food show years ago in Memphis and I’ve been doing it each year. But …
I didn’t even think about a coke at 3:00 today. I didn’t think about it at 7:45. I didn’t even think about sugar today. I had a headache around 2, but I ate something and it went away. I forgot to eat during my planning break (too busy!) but I know that needs to be …
And that was just in the morning! Sugar Free Day 4 It was a fun day and I stayed busy while my body tried to adjust to the lack of sugar. It’s unreal how dependent on that stuff I am (was?). During the past 3 days, I’ve had shaking hands, headache, itchy skin, a …
It’s been a wonderful morning. Morning coffee, favorite candle, and latest Southern Living. Watching the sun rise on my pumpkins. And making my lists to go to Birmingham to the Pepper Place farmer’s market, Willie Sonomy, and Whole Foods. I’m excited and not ashamed to admit it. 🙂 Now if only …
Anybody else watching this? I love the music from this one. I was on the edge of too young to watch these “brat pack” movies when they first exploded on the scene, but thanks to reruns and Blockbuster video, I’m well versed in ‘80s movie lyrics. Ducky is still my favorite in this one. …
I heard a wild rumor that it’s Friday. Is that right?????? I never got the memo. I actually slept a lot but woke up with a headache. I’m enjoying a cup of coffee right now. No sugar, lots of cream (or half and half). It is wonderful. I have no desire to cut all caffeine …
I’m exhausted with a horrible headache and I feel like my skin is crawling off my bones. I’ve had so much water, I’m nauseated now. I haven’t been hungry all day but that’s from the sugar/caffeine depravation apparently. I hope tomorrow is better, but I’m prepared for it to be worse than today. I do …
Of course the day I choose to try to cut some sugar out of my life is the day my cat, Frankie, wakes me at 3:30 because my sugar is WAY high. Yes, he can tell. He wakes me up by bumping his head against mine to wake me. If that doesn’t work, a nice …
I eat pretty good most of the time. I adore fresh whole food and I love to cook that food. I exercise 4-5 times a week and most days, I lift and run. I take my vitamins when I remember. I drink water. I drink green tea. I eat green stuff in a blender that …
I promised myself I would branch out and try new foods, especially sea food. I’m a catfish and salmon girl. I’ve heard wonderful things of other seafood and I wanted to try them out. But not this guy..no way. Oatmeal with peanut butter, flax, natural granola, and a pumpkin choco chip muffin. Super good and …

I had some serious technical difficulties posting my Challenge 4 post to my contestant page at Foodbuzz. I sent her a desperate email (or maybe 2), and she fixed them for me. As you know, I’m away from home and using wifi where we are staying. For some reason, I couldn’t get things working right. …
We are here and having so much fun. Details later, off to see some sights!

First things first..anybody else REALLY creeped out by tonight’s episode of Criminal Minds? I’m still sore over J.J. getting axed from CBS and I almost boycotted tonight. But, I love the show too much. Rest assured I’m not going to help any elderly men asking for help. I may be sleeping with the lights on …
