I think when we look back on it, 2020 is going to be the year of comfort food. I have a friend who has a wonderful website and is an amazing resource for everything low carb and keto. (Transparency – She’s also a client at my day job.) I’ve been helping her recently and we’ve … Read more
So, it’s official. I’m on board with the whole Smokin’ Sunday concept. What I need to work on though is the timing. If you want a look at the process, I used Instagram Stories to document the process, including the much longer than anticipated stall. In the future, I will start earlier in the day, … Read more
What a morbid term, right? Well, it is what it is. How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was nice and quiet. We traded food with my mother and stepfather and dropped off quite a bit at the gym where my oldest trains. I still have two more servings of my favorite dish in the world the … Read more
First of all, everyone hates a meandering introduction. I know this. This is not an introduction. This is the methodology.

Dear Home-Ec 101, Not Me and I Didn’t Do It struck again. Do they ever visit your house? This time Not Me threw a ball in the kitchen and I Didn’t Do It Either batted it with the broom handle into the microwave or the broom handle itself hit the microwave. I didn’t get the … Read more
