Food storage

There have been multiple times since I’ve been married when we’ve had to primarily live off of our stored food supply.  As a wedding present, someone (I’m sorry to say I don’t remember who) gave us the awesome gift of one month’s basic food storage.  Included were things like cans of wheat, rice, macaroni noodles, […]

The Cook’s Thesaurus

Does anyone but me struggle with knowing what the names on cuts of meat mean?  I bought a roast on sale the other day labeled “USDA Choice Chuck Beef English Roast.”  What in the world….?  I learned a while back that “Choice” is a United States Department of Agriculture grade of meat determined by how […]

I’ve decided again that I like cottage cheese. It’s a little boring by itself, though, so I googled things to eat with cottage cheese and found some good ideas, like cinnamon or pears (or both!). Did I try any of those ideas, though? No, of course not. I chose to try […]

Degen’s Latest Cute-ism

I asked Degen if he wanted some pineapple for a snack this afternoon and he refused until I took him over to the refrigerator and showed him the Ziplock full of leftover pineapple from last night’s pizza toppings.  Then he got excited and said he wanted some.  That’s not the cute, funny part.  The cute, funny […]

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday and I really had a great day.  My family called and sang Happy Birthday to me on speakerphone in the morning, an indispensable part of any truly good birthday.  Colin spent most of the day up north helping with the cleanup of the tornado disaster that happened a couple of weeks ago, […]

Today I Feel Grateful for my Body

Although I would say that my body is far from perfect and that the way I care for my body is nowhere close to ideal, I am grateful for my body.  Yesterday I did an exercise video all the way through (a pretty big feat for me) and I noticed how good it feels to stretch and move […]
