I know what I have to do . . .

February 13, 2012

It is definitely much easier and more fun to gain weight than to lose it.  I was doing fine up until a couple weeks ago — rejoined Weight Watchers, was tracking my food, making better choices.  And then, I’m not sure what happened but I sure as hell wasn’t tracking my food and not making [...]

Recipe Review: Saucepan Oatmeal Cookies

February 11, 2012

A simple oatmeal cookie recipe that uses a saucepan as the only bowl and doesn’t require breaking out the hand-mixer. Sounds perfect for me and my lazy tendencies, right? I’ve been having visions of making oatmeal cookies studded with dark chocolate chips and dried blueberries.  However, I’ve never made oatmeal cookies before, so I was [...]

Egg Roll-Ups

February 11, 2012

A fun twist on French toast!  Tortillas and eggs cooked together and then rolled up for the perfect meal or snack on the go! These bring back memories of when I was little.  We called them “egg bread,” but I like the way “egg roll-up” sounds!  So simple, yet so satisfying — my mom would [...]

Into Africa: Lake Naivasha Sights and Bites

**This is the second in a series of trip re-caps from our Kenya and Istanbul trip last November.  The first of the re-caps can be found here.** If I told you we stayed at a lodge on a reserve where you could look from your balcony and see wildlife just feet away and where you [...]

Super Spicy Super Bowl Wings

February 6, 2012

Super spicy wings, marinated in Indian spices, perfect for the game or for any time! Confession — I don’t really watch the game when it’s on.  To me, the Super Bowl is an excuse to snack for a few hours.  Not that I need an excuse to do that anyway . . . Rather than [...]

Restaurant Round-Up: Zest Sushi and Tapas, Another Broken Egg Cafe, and Crepe Revolution

February 5, 2012

I go out to eat WAY more than I ought to, but when we have all these great places to eat in Atlanta, it’s hard not to! Since I’m so far behind on blog posts, I thought it’d be fun to do just a quick round-up of some of the places we’ve been to eat [...]

Cold, redux

January 25, 2012

I seem to have had a relapse of my cold from a couple weeks ago, so I’m going to keep this quick. This morning was an early one for me, since I had an estate planning CPE course to attend from 7:15-9:15.  I know, that’s really early!! There was going to be breakfast at the [...]

A Rumbly Morning!

January 24, 2012

Car trouble is never a good way to start the day. Alas, that was the card that fate dealt me this morning. I was definitely having one of those mornings where I just couldn’t get myself going.  I didn’t know what to wear, what I wanted to eat, what to pack for later.  But somehow [...]

Blogger’s block sucks!

January 23, 2012

I know, I know, I’ve committed the cardinal sin of blogging — NOT blogging. Can’t blame jet lag anymore, can I? It’s been a whirlwind past 2 months — Mr. Spice and I have visited 3 countries in that time, I’ve been busy with work, and I’m just trying to get back into the swing [...]
