After much anticipation, here begins the long awaited Hubby guest post. Today, I’m the boss, and I’m taking over the Lean Green Bean. Lindsay has been asking me to contribute something for about a year now, and inspiration has struck! I’m a bit of a renaissance man. I’ve always enjoyed figuring out how things work, and spent […]
Read More...Welcome to snack time, my friends. I did a post about sweet potato hummus last year. But it was lame, and written before I started making it once a week. I pretty much consider myself an expert now, so I thought we’d have a little do-over, ok? Good. I can’t really remember exactly when I […]
Read More...A few months ago, I made this couscous and never told you about it. THEN, this weekend I came across this recipe: and THEN, I had the brilliant idea to do a combination of sorts. So, I headed to the kitchen and got to work. Ok, that’s not really what happened. What actually happened was […]
Read More...Over the weekend I made a little challenge for myself. I have this binder: I get a lot of cooking magazines and I’m constantly tearing out recipes and ideas that I want to try. Occasionally (read: about twice a year), I sit down and actually organize my huge pile of torn out pages into categories, […]
Read More...Hi Friends! It’s that time again! Time for another Secret Recipe Club post. This month I was assigned another new-to-me blog: The Keenan Cookbook. Chris and Rachel are totally cute blogging couple with an ADORABLE baby boy. I had so much fun going through their recipe index and looking at all of their tasty recipes. […]
Read More...I think the thing the hubby hates most about me having a food blog is that sometimes old favorites get lost in the shuffle as I try to come up with new recipes for the blog. So, I think it’s important that each season I take some time to revisit some of those tried and […]
Read More...It’s that time again! Foodie Penpals reveal day 🙂 It’s like getting to relive the excitement of getting your own box all over again by seeing what everyone else got! This month I was lucky enough to get my box from one of my best foodie friends, Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen! If you aren’t […]
Read More...Confession #1: I wasn’t going to blog about this recipe. Confession #2: I only took 1 picture of it initially Confession #3: I plated the leftovers and took another picture before I put them away because it was such a big hit with the hubby. Confession #4: I did have the presence of mine to […]
Read More...So, something rather annoying happened over the weekend. My oven stopped working. I used it to make some naan to go with dinner, and then when I turned it back on two hours later to make some brownies, it wouldn’t heat up. The stove part still works fine, but the oven is definitely not ok. […]
Read More...Hi Friends! Thanks for all the well wishes on the race yesterday! It went really well. It was the first year this 5K was put on and everything went really smoothly. It was sponsored by Panera and raised money for breast cancer research. I ran it in 27:37 and my goal was to finish in […]
