Hey guys! How’s it going? Ever feel you get “slap happy” after too many days with little sleep and many deadlines?  It’s gotten to the point I’m just a liability!  Before class today I could not stop giggling about the word “farfegnugen.” Don’t ask.  Later, I ask my friend what “the birds and the bees” [...]

Hey guys!  Happy Saturday!  There are two things I want to share and, in the spirit of balance, one of them is brain food and the other is food food .  Heads or tails, shall we start with the brain food or tummy food?  *Waits for Whitey the cat to decide but all she gets [...]

Ok so I had this post I was working on and it was so insightful and poignant (if I may say so myself, tee-hee) then all of a sudden I felt like I was hit by a bus.  I was hot and cold and not in the Katy Perry lovelorn way, but in the oh-shit-I-hope-it’s-not-swine-flu [...]

Updated to Include Additional Give-Aways Hey guys!  How was your weekend?! Since I actually got out of the house this weekend *gasp*, I figured I’d do a brief re-cap! Weekend Re-Cap Friday I had a hot date in which I attempted to remember what it’s like to get dressed up for night out on the [...]

Hey guys!  If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ve probably gathered that I am a bit frugal.  For me, being money-conscious is part necessity and part passion! I recently did a price comparison of four grocery stores to see where I could get the best deals on some of my staples.  You [...]

Now that my whine-fest is out of the way, I can truly honor the delicious foods I’ve been eating. Enter, the tofu-lentil mash-up tacos… Tofu is a relatively new product to me in terms of preparing it myself.  Each time I’ve made it, I’ve used this amazing recipe.  For the sake of novelty, I tried [...]

I have been having too much fun making my own weird food mixes! When I have the time to cook an elaborate meal, I love to.  Most of the time, however, I am eating between activities and need something quick!  Here are my three recent fave “fast” food concoctions: Pita Pizza Goop Don’t mind my [...]

it would be easier to swallow (that’s what she said!). But, since that ain’t gonna happen, I’ll settle for some fondue food dippin’! The boyfriend loves fondue so we had our own little fondue party for two a la ghetto style (without the actual fondue pot). You can find fondue cheese at Trader Joe’s in [...]
