Life happens. And your blog gets a little forgotten. However, after going to our Wild Women’s Action and Adventure Club Warm Springs Brunch and Trip, I was inspired to try a spin on a shakshuka. Also, I love alliteration. A LOT. The intriguing fun about this dish is it is not hard, simply good comfort…
#100DayProject: Summer Dreams and Schemes
I’ve giggled as I started paging through our summer calendar and realize that we’re getting ready for a huge, action-packed summer. The hubs starts his new job at UGA, summer wedding season is still on overlay, and I’ve got a few new boards to attend and volunteer on so suddenly we’ve lost any “lazy day…
#The100DayProject: Black Bean, Beet and Quinoa Tacos – BBQ Redefined!
You had to do a double take, didn’t you? When you looked at BBQ you thought pulled pork, shredded carnitas, etc. But nope! And guess what, I am going to blow your mind with this recipe. As you may guess from my other posts, it is confession time. I can’t even count how many times I…
Off-Topic: 15 Bucket List Things to Do Before 40
Ok, so this doesn’t have to do with the 100 Days Project, or cooking, but if you are like me, I eat up these Bucket List articles. Sometimes they are far-fetched, but then I read something and think- I can TOTALLY do that! What fun! When you can say that in a row, the list…
#The100DayProject: Fast Food for Good, Part 2
I’m back and finishing this post up so you can hear the rest of the story. Also, I knew I could probably hold myself a little more accountable if I had a start and finish. As you saw in the first post, Fast Food Part 1, I waxed on about how I turned one fast…
#The100DayProject: Fast Food For Good, Part 1
I have a confession to make. Despite all the clean eating, nutritional guarding, and healthy living we do and carry out over here, I love fast food. I try to deny it but I’m Lovin’ It, Having it My Way, and Eatin’ Mor Chikin’. However, let’s be real – you indulge in that pure yummy…
#100DayProject: Sunday Prep is for Saving Time
How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? ~Dr. Seuss I bet more than one of you can relate to the quote above. It relates to how quickly the…
#The100DayProject: Rainy Day Corn and Yellow Squash Chowder (How to Remedy a Drizzly Sunday)
After a series of crazy bad thunderstorms through the Atlanta area this week, including one last night which kept us wide awake, today yielded a drizzly and rainy Sunday which seemed to cancel any outdoor plans. I busied myself with menu planning (yay for weekly fun), plus a brief inventory on what needed using up fast early…
#The100DayProject: The Real Meal Plan (or How to Create the No Food Waste Puzzle)
Did you miss me? Despite my NON-posting the last few weeks (oops!), I have still been incorporating the “no food waste” mantra in a lot of my meal planning. Today, I decided I needed to at least check in and show you what my typical set-up is – don’t worry it isn’t fancy and I don’t…
#The100DayProject: Brownies & Blessings…A Sweet Experience
I love when I am among good people. Not people who claim “good,” but the ones you just KNOW have a good heart and soul in them. We live in a bit of a cynical world so usually when you come across a good soul there is a tendency to immediately look for something in…
#The100DayProject: Celebrating Cheese – National Grilled Cheese Day (and some Andean Potato and Cheese Soup)
After another productive day of working in the yard clearing our version of “The Jungle” (an overgrown corner next to the shed) I needed simple, easy and tasty. Plus, I wanted to use some of the ingredients I’ve worked into the meal plan this week sticking with #the100dayproject – and use the leftovers I had…
#The100DayProject: Staycation…All I Ever Wanted – Friday Fiesta and Sizzling Saturday
The hubs and I found ourselves watching many of our friends posting beach photos, freshly pedicured toes, and a fine variety of selfies, us-ies, groupies…whatever you want, they were out and about loving SPRING BREAK! Now, we’re not throwing a pity party here b/c we both have worked hard with jobs and school exams and…
