I’ve been struggling with this for a while now. When I work out in the morning, I get up so early (4:30) that my stomach just does not want to eat. Lately, I’ve been doing intense workouts with nothing in my stomach. Needless to say, my workout suffers because by the time I’m done, I’m …

I consider myself a food blogger. Better yet, I consider myself a health food blogger. So imagine my surprise to read from a misguided author at Marie Claire magazine (Mom, it’s one of those that we make fun of in the grocery check out) that health bloggers, specifically 6 ladies whom I read often, are …
Luxury means happy, indulgent, a reason to celebrate. And we have a lot to celebrate and be happy about. When I first read the date for the Foodbuzz Project Food Blog Challenge 3: Luxury Dinner Party, I had a huge smile. The date for the challenge happened to be the same weekend for a special …
I can’t believe I made it to the top 200 contestants in Project Food Blog! I am now on location in Mississippi to prepare for challenge 3-Luxury Dinner Party. Thank you to all the new publishers and publishers who have been with me awhile. I couldn’t have made it this far without your support. 🙂 …
……as long as you cook it yourself and clean up the dishes. This one makes perfect sense to me. I’m talking again about one of my favorite authors, Michael Pollan. His books The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food have brought the idea of clean eating, whole foods, and farm-to-table to the forefront of …

My challenge: Pick an ethnic classic that is outside your comfort zone or are not as familiar with. You should include how you arrived at this decision in your post. Any recipe that begins with “Have a large sheet ready to roll dough” is out of my comfort zone…..and so exciting to think about trying! …
Today is the Family Reunion. This time last year, things were a LOT different. Last year’s reunion Rain More Rain Knee high rain Before we got everybody out, water had flooded cars and rose 2 feet inside the fire station. I’ve never been in a flood situation before. The ditch was covered so I stood …
What was I thinking? I thought “Hmm..I’ve never made my own coconut caramel icing. Wouldn’t that be FUN!!? Oh, and let’s make it a 3 LAYER German’s Chocolate Cake!!!” Yeah, I don’t know what I was smoking. It turned out ok, but wow. It was a lot of work. Time to head to …

It’s Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. I wish I could jump to 3pm tomorrow and get my weekend started! I’ve got a packed weekend of all things fun. Family reunion early Saturday, Alabama-Arkansas game, football food plans, and long nap on Sunday after church. At some point, I have to do school work, but I’m not …

It’s here alive and well, I promise. Being sick has put running on the back burner, but I plan to get in my morning workout and run tomorrow. I’m not sure how fall racing will play out. I still have my eye on some trail races in October and November but for once, I’m just …
I made it back to school today, but felt like I couldn’t eat a single thing that would stay down. I remember my college professors telling us that we would be sick our first few years of teaching but then we would develop this amazing immunity to every virus, bacteria, germ, etc. Yeah, that never …
I am a food blogger. I’m also a health blogger, exercise blogger, and diabetes nutrition blogger. But how would I define myself as a “food blogger”? Fearless. I’m waiting until the last hour to post my entry. Why? I’m scared. Plain and simple. I’m scared of getting cut the first challenge, of looking like an …
It’s another one of those games where I’m just not sure. I know SEC teams. I don’t know the others. It is a lovely SUMMER hot day although it’s now considered “late” September. Even the people who traveled to NC were talking about the sweltering sweatshop aka Duke’s stadium. This morning, I still wasn’t …
I haven’t made this since I deemed it a new Christmas tradition. It was so good then, and I was craving it! I have noticed the recent pizza war commercials. All larges are ten bucks no matter who you call, even the King of good pizza, Pizza Hut, is selling large 3 toppings for ten …
Lola needed a workout. Stephen needed PIE. This is the easiest thing in the world to make. But first, for new readers, meet Lola: Brown sugar (splenda blend…don’t tell anybody) Whipped cream cheese and cool-whip I took this while she was mixing on high speed Fresh blueberry topping! Was this the healthiest thing? Not …
There are days when nothing goes right. We all have them. Car trouble, money mix ups, mean people, and the list goes on. Some days, life is outstanding. Everything goes your way. Every light is green. The scale smiled instead of groaned. Kids are angels. Your buffet britches are too loose to wear. Guess what …
