I don’t know why I have been on a writing hiatus lately … I just honestly think I have been feeling like I don’t have anything to write about. This is completely untrue! I mean, blog writing is just about writing – not necessarily about writing anything witty or inspirational or downright honest. Blog writing [...]

With My Friend, The Spatula
I have gotten back into my passion for cooking. Maybe it’s just the fact I’ve been more committed to cutting back my carbs, or the new season of Top Chef Las Vegas, or my Sunday matinee of Julie & Julia. Either way, I am glad to be back with my friend, the spatula. She’s a [...]

Got Band Loosened!
So, I made an appointment with my doc and went into the office this morning – yeah, my band was definitely too tight! I told them how difficult it had been for me to eat + how uncomfortable it was! They weighed me in and it seems I had lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. [...]

Paula Deen – The Most Frightening Thing Ever … And That’s Not All!
When I was at the beach with Katie, we were watching Paula’s Party on Food Network. Have you seen her? I’m telling you right now – she is FRIGHTENING! I’m not sure if it’s her blue hair, her hyena cackle, her over-exaggerated southern drawl – or the fact that she took a huge bite out [...]

Chicken & Mango Dinner
Tonight I made up a really good dinner. I was in the mood for something Thai. A little sweet. A little salty. Kinda like me I’m a sucker for strong flavor and sauces. Please note – my recipe’s rarely are measured. Hey – I’m an Artist! I just go by look and taste. [...]
