I am more than excited that Wednesday is here!  That means I am almost halfway through one of the busiest work weeks of the year.  If you work in higher education, you know that the time of year right before the start of a term or semester is usually nuts.  I already feel like I have [...]

This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk. I am a little ashamed to admit this, but I am all hot cocoa-ed out for the Winter season. Don't get me wrong.  I am still on board with chocolate, and warm drinks are perfect for the freezing cold evenings that have crept into March.  But lately [...]

I like vegetables... a lot.  I'm sure you never would have guessed that by the title of this blog! There are really only a few vegetables that I [...]

This Pasta Salad and Robert Irvine LIVE Giveaway are sponsored by Omaha Performing Arts.  I received free tickets to "Robert Irvine LIVE," but was not compensated in any other way. No, you're eyes aren't playing tricks on you. These pictures do, in fact, look like they are straight out of a Summertime meal. Unfortunately, this [...]

Is it really only Wednesday?  Boo!  Despite a busy week at work, it is taking forever for Friday to get here.  It probably does not help that I am incredibly eager for the upcoming weekend.  Jeremy will be here, and we have a fun fondue day with friends and Omaha Beer Week's Extreme Beer Fest [...]

Colorful and flavorful plant-based loaded potato skins that combine the savoriness of black beans and potatoes with the sweetness of barbecue sauce and pineapple.  This is one snack that is too good to say no to, and is 100% acceptable to eat as a meal. I have been blogging for about two and a half years [...]
