About a month ago I came across a blog post entitled “Decluttering Burst: let go of 100 things in less than an hour” on the website Be More With Less, and I decided I was going to start with my clothes. And that led to the decision to try to do a one-hour, 100-item decluttering burst …Read More
I tried another Skinnytaste recipe. Sort of. I adapted the Skinny Buffalo Burger Quesadilla from skinnytaste.com. And my family fucking loved them. I am obligated to use the f-word when talking about them. That’s how much they liked them. And they are so simple! So on skinnytaste.com, the photo of the burger looks like this: And she …Read More
I suppose you shouldn’t include the word sh*t in the title of a post you are writing about food, but, well, like I’ve said before, this isn’t the Pioneer Woman.

A few months ago I wrote a post about how I wanted to simplify weekday dinners, and how I was going to come up with a one-month menu similar to what you get from the kids’ schools each month. I haven’t forgotten about that. It’s just taking me a while to get my sh*t together. …Read More
When you ask moms what their least favorite thing about the weekday school monotony is, packing lunches is always at or near the top of the list. So a couple weeks ago I asked readers to share any tips/tricks/shortcuts they had that made the lunch packing a little less sucky. I’m still working on that post… But …Read More
Things have been so crazy here that I still haven’t gotten to writing the post about my Whole30 experience. Life is still a little bit overloaded BUT, I do have time to quickly share one of my favorite new recipes that has become a staple in my diet, even now that my 30 days are …Read More
I am so far behind on my Whole30 update! Until I get to that, I thought I’d share this super easy recipe for taco seasoning mix. The stuff you buy in the packets is no bueno as far as Whole30 goes, because the brand I’ve been using (McCormick) contains the following ingredients: Spices (Including Chili Pepper, Cumin, …Read More
