Fresh Express giveaway

Remember way back when I made a sweet and salty salad to enter into a Foodbuzz contest to win travel and airfare to the Foodbuzz Festival? Well, Fresh Express/Foodbuzz sent me coupons to use when purchasing the lettuce that I used in the salad. Well, they sent a lot of those coupons and I have…

Scallop Salad

Do you like scallops? I didn’t think I did. Most of the scallops I had ever tried we mushy. Yuck! At least until this salad. The last time Kath came to town a group of us got together for dinner at the Providence Cafe. For some reason I was in the mood for something with…

Sweet and salty salad

Check out the mess in my kitchen. This is a rare occurrence lately, so I thought it needed to be documented. When I got home I made the contents of my refrigerator explode all over my counters. The lighting in my kitchen is dreadful and I was hoping to get some good, nicely-lit shots of…

Sunset Grille

Ya know how there is always that little restaurant around the corner that you want to try but you never get around to it? We have a ton of those in our neighborhood! Each time we drive by I am say we need to try them out but we keep driving and I forget about…

Soup, Salad, and Breadsticks

When I was younger my family rarely went out to eat. I remember as a teen a trip to Olive Garden was such a treat. Oh how times have changed. Over the past several years I have been spoiled by some fantastic restaurant meals and Olive Garden has been knocked down a few notched….at least…

Pewter Rose Bistro

I love weekends. And not just for the usual reason of not having to go to work. Weekends are also when B and I often do our best eating, and that has certainly been the case this weekend. Friday’s eats were not anything special. I started my day with overnight oats in a jar. Do…

All these dishes

Ugh. I am so full. Looking at these pictures from today is even making me feel uncomfortable. Yesterday was so emotionally draining that I slept hard, and had a hard time pulling myself out of bed. Once I did get moving I made myself another smoothie. The smoothie was good, but like most of the…

Biting off more than I can chew

Last night was one of those nights where I really bit off more than I could chew. I cooked dinner, did blog stuff, attempted homemade baked beans, and then made homemade sweet potato gnocchi a la KERF. All of that cooking also means a lot of cleaning. I had to unload and completely reload the…

What a Day

I think today has been one of my busiest Saturdays in ages. I was up early this morning because I was excited about brunch at Kath’s house. Although I almost ruined it for myself. I had in my head that brunch was at 10:30 when it was actually at 10. Good thing B looked over…

F.A.I.L

Today was a ridiculous day. I woke up not feeling well but made myself get up for a workout anyways. I spent the first half of the day in meetings and the second have working on getting caught up from being in meetings the past 2 1/2 days. Bah!!! I felt so overwhelmed this afternoon….
