I think one of the best things about blogging is reading the search terms people use to find their way here.
My blog gets a lot of hits from people searching for kitchen makeovers. If you are one of those people, you can read about my story here and here.
Today, though, one searcher particularly tickled [...]
…I finally got my Christmas boxes put away. When my hubbie came home he almost tripped because he was trying to step over the now non-existent boxes that his body has been trained to manuever around ever since I optimistically had them out since Epiphany. That man must really love me. Or [...]
Nita, this one’s for you! I knew it had to be in the house somewhere!

Anyone else with me?
The combination of my love of spicy food and a year-long craving for cabbage (is that odd!?) birthed this goofy-named salad. It is a combination of cilantro and cole slaw, thus “Slaw-Rantro”. I know, it falls flat. If anyone wants to come up with a snappier name, I’d be much obliged (although [...]
It seems to be in my very nature to resist schedules. As immature as it sounds, schedules are very boring to me, so as soon as a new schedule’s novelty wears off, I find it very hard to follow. Being that routines are mini-schedules, I have very few. I recognize this as bad. And [...]
I never realized how much useless brain energy I used up daily to make dinner until I started meal planning. After I began, I also realized how much money I had wasted on rotten produce forgotten in the netherlands of my fridge. I think I probably save $200 a month or more by [...]
