I felt a devastating familiarity, hearing about the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida yesterday. These tragedies have become all too common in our current world. Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook, San Bernadino, Manchester. It seems like every couple months, the list keeps getting longer and longer. It’s sickening. The prayers we pleadContinue reading The Go-Between’ers
Happy Ash Wednesday! (And Valentine’s Day!) Ready or not, we’re officially kicking off the Lenten season today. And in my Catholic family, that always means one thing: no meat on Fridays. Growing up, we would always go to the Friday Night Fish Fry at my church. It was definitely something I looked forward to in ourContinue reading Mexican Skillet Cakes
Well, in case you were uncertain as to the relentless pace of time, allow me to be the first to remind you: Lent begins this week. I know. I can’t believe it either. It feels like literally two days ago that we were ringing in 2018. But yep – Ash Wednesday is here. And I’m personallyContinue reading An Ashy Valentine’s Day
🎵🎵🎵…These are a few of my favorite things. 🎵🎵🎵 So this is now the sixth attempt at a post. My writer’s block is in full swing – perhaps because my creative mind is across the world in India, dancing in a hot pink sari with elephants at the wedding-of-the-century I’m supposed to be attending rightContinue reading Tied Up with String
Thanks, everyone, for your kind words about my would-have-been trip to India. Obviously, the food situation with my Ulcerative Colitis was one of the factors in my decision not to go. But just because I have to follow this therapeutic Specific Carb Diet doesn’t mean I don’t eat delicious food on the reg. Case inContinue reading Zesty Rainbow Ribbon Salad
Gosh, thank you so much for the support after last week’s emotional blog post. Thankfully I am now 100% healthy – the flu couldn’t keep me down for long! And I have taken a page from T Swift’s book and did a little “shake it off” dance. It’s crazy though. The video is at nearlyContinue reading Curve Balls
So I’ve been sick with the flu this week. I haven’t left my bed in over 24 hours. My hair has that post-sleep permafix; I’m bundled up in three layers – all of which need a good washing after last night’s fever. There’s a mountain of tissues on my bedside table. And to top itContinue reading True Life: Online Bullying
I’m writing this, curled up in my bed, sick as a dog. Even though I got a flu shot this year (first one ever, I might add) I still ended up with a nasty bug. Such is life. Anywho. When I was out at Sundance last week, we ate some pretty delicious food. And one night, whileContinue reading Hearty Vegetable Soup
What up from Sundance!? I’m still in Park City! The snow is still snowin’ and the film festival is still boppin’. I’m so glad you enjoyed my monster cookie recipe yesterday! Those have been a serious hit around here. Healthy, nutrition packed, delicious cookies? What’s not to love. I can’t believe it’s only Thursday! ItContinue reading Sundance FUNdance
Hey guys! I’m still at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah! I’m out here with my family, and we absolutely LOVE to ski. And let me tell ya, you work up a big appetite when you’re out there shredding for six hours. So one thing I like to do is make up a large batchContinue reading Monster Cookies!
