This delicious guest post comes to us from Max over at theomnom.com. You can also follow him on twitter @fueledbypez My sister shared with me her recipe for Chili years back and I lost the paper it was written on at some point… when I asked her for the recipe again, it changed a bit. [...]

Just in case you weren’t paying attention, a sneaky little lass called May showed up. And, I now know how newer mothers find themselves a year later still trying to work off the baby weight. I mean, I now have a 7 month old and things still aren’t right. I gained 60 pounds and had [...]

I’m sitting here sipping on my very first cup of cold brewed coffee. I was originally exposed to this concept by my cohort Keesha awhile back on her blog. The idea is that brewing coffee without using heat extracts all the delicious flavors (and caffeine) but only about 10% of the acid and oils leaving [...]

Last week I posted our meal plan for the week. We stuck to it 80%. Unfortunately, the husband got sick and lost his appetite for a few days, so there were a few days that he didn’t eat much and I ate Wasabi Doritos for dinner. Like a lot of people, I saw the Alton [...]

A little late, I know… but what better way to finish off St. Patrick’s Day leftovers than with a quick, easy and tasty loaf of Irish Soda Bread? Oh, and when I say quick and easy- I mean it! This loaf went from zero to in my belly in just over 30 minutes. 1 cup [...]

Not many photographs (aside from a police mugshot) are approached with more trepidation than the dreaded drivers license photo. It seems to have a way to bring out the ugly in even the most attractive of individuals. I spent an entire year apologizing for a horrible picture and feeling ashamed every time I got carded. [...]

Mardi Gras 2011 is in full swing, I’m not much of a Mardi Gras reveler, but I might let out a Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez! Every now and again. What I am a huge fan of is Fat Tuesday pancakes. This year, Fat Tuesday is March 8. Mark your calendars. Yum. Here’s some Mardi [...]
