Does anybody else out there worship and rely on sandwiches the way I do? Sandwiches are much like salads and soups, in that you can be as creative as you wish, and it’s going to work out . (Sometimes magically.) Whether it’s an oeey-gooey grilled cheese (dipped in tomato soup—it’s required!), a classic BLT, chicken…
What I Ate Wednesday: Some Food for Thought
It’s the blog world’s favorite day—What I Ate Wednesday—and I’ll get to the food soon enough, but since I haven’t written a real post in what feels like forever, I thought I’d ramble share a little food for thought first. Today I realized that I’m probably one of the most cynical people I’ve known. I’m…
Tuesday Thoughts {11.12.13}
1. This weekend we bought some flannel sheets, and I have to say, I’m in love. They’re so cozy and comfy and will be perfect for tonight’s freezing temperatures! (Iggy loves to burrow in them, too.) Bring on the cold! 2. I have a new favorite fall-inspired breakfast: pumpkin yogurt (simply plain—or vanilla—Greek with pumpkin…
Slow-Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Sauerkraut and Apples
On our recent trip to New Orleans, we had an amazing pork dish at Oktoberfest. The pork itself was smoked and was served atop a mixture of apples, sauerkraut, and onions. We loved this dish so much that we decided to recreate it at home. Though our pork doesn’t have the same smokiness, the use…

1. I’m proud of myself: I finally signed up for some freelance/content websites over the weekend. My application was already accepted to one site (I haven’t had time to submit my writing sample for the other one yet), so I’m excited to peruse the article requests and begin writing—and possibly making a little extra $$$….
Roasted Buttercup Squash with Cinnamon-Spiced Millet
Whoa, there—could I really be posting a recipe? Could this actually be a food-centered post on what I tend to label as a food blog? By golly, it is! Although this fall-inspired dish is sinfully simple, it is, in fact, a legitimate recipe. Inspired by Gena’s roasted acorn squash with cinnamon-scented quinoa, this nutritious meal…
How Old People Do Halloween…
Happy November! This is one of my favorite months, although it also means another Halloween has gone by. Growing up, I loved Halloween. I still do, even though the last time I actually dressed up or went to a party was my senior year in college. Oh, hey there Old Age! Since there are basically…
A True What I Ate Wednesday
I have a confession to make: I’m the worst food blogger ever. Lately, my meals have become increasingly boring. We’ve been cooking old stand-by recipes like tomato-white bean soup, slow-cooker roast beef, and various salads, but we haven’t created or attempted anything exciting (Monday night’s red beans and rice being the exception). Most of my…
Tuesday Thoughts {10.29.13}
1. Now that I’m back from my vacation, I’m ready for another. Hopefully we can take another mini-trip back to NOLA around Christmas. The hotels and streets are always so pretty when decorated for the holidays. 2. What happened to fall? Last week was wonderfully cool and crisp, but this week the humidity and 80-degree…
A Marvelous Weekend in NOLA
This past weekend in New Orleans was full of good food, friends, and lots of fun. Thank goodness Mark and I took today off to rest and recuperate. After taking my car to the dealership for a oil and fluid changes, we began our short drive to NOLA. We spent a couple hours down in…
