Welcome to the first What I Ate Wednesday post of the year!  Exciting times, am I right? ;)  In all seriousness, I actually happen to think that food is pretty exciting, and I love seeing what other people eat in a day.  I guess that is what happens when you are a self-proclaimed foodie.  And for those [...]

I have a confession to make.  As a meat-eater, I never liked chicken salad.  In fact, the idea of it totally repulsed me.  Now, as a mostly plant-based eater, I eat some of the strangest things.  Well, they are really only strange to my former meat-eating self.  I hate regular mayonnaise, but I love vegan [...]

Happy Monday!  There goes my attempt at positive thinking, again ;).  If we think it will be a happy Monday then it will be, right?  Or at least I hope that is how it works.  I was already back to work last Thursday and Friday, but this is my first official full week back at [...]

Happy New Year!

The year 2013 has come and gone, and now 2014 is upon us.  A lot happened for me in 2013- both positive and negative.  I moved five hours away from my hometown- including my family and friends (talk about tough!), started my first "big girl" job, made new friends and blends in Omaha, attended HLS13, [...]

Katie's Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie was recommended to me by Kelly, and I am so beyond happy that I decided to make it for Christmas this [...]

I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Christmas holiday!  And now that New Years is on the brain, it would not be right if I did not share a 2013 wrap-up post focused on one of my favorite topics and the main topic of this blog: FOOD!  This was my first year following a [...]

May your day be filled with quality time with family and friends, delicious food (including plenty of pie and cookies ;)), a lot of giving, just enough receiving, and an immense amount of love, joy, and peace.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, blends!

It's here.  Finally, Monday is here!  I can pretty much guarantee that you will never see me type those words again because on most occasions I am usually pretty sad when Monday rolls around.  But not this Monday.  This Monday I am going to see my family, puppy dogs, and some great friends, and I [...]

Last Friday night I met up with several other lovely ladies at my friend Molly's for a food/wine/Christmas movie night.  We ate.  We drank. We talked...and talked.  And yes, some inappropriate conversation occurred, which always seems to happen when you get a group of 20-something women together ;).  We had intended to watch the movie [...]
