Food Thoughts

We load up on oat bran in the morning so we'll live forever. Then we spend the rest of the day living like there's no tomorrow. ~Lee Iacocca

One last piece of ham!

So, I talked about eating healthy for a few weeks and what do I do? I forgot to clean out the last container or potatoes and ham.  I can’t let that go to waste. I warmed it up and savored that last morsel of the holidays.  Thankfully, I had a whole wheat English muffin

As if there wasn’t enough turkey last week…

Well, since I didn’t make a turkey for Thanksgiving but I had bought one at the store (with my Pick ‘n Save Turkey Perks reward no less!), I wanted to make the bird before I needed the space in the freezer for Christmas.  Four days ago, I embarked on a path to making the

Christmas Cookies...Almost done.

Well, we're nearing the end of the line for Christmas.  I might get all but one of the cookies on my list done.  I don't think that I'll have the time or patience for the linzer cookies.  I'm so sad because I've always wanted to make them.  Oh well, that's why I pick so

Christmas...AAAAAARRRGHHH!

If I haven't said it in a previous post, Christmas is my favorite time of year.  At 34, I'm still a kid when it comes to the Christmas tree, Christmas treats, and family gatherings.  Yesterday, I was busy working out the final details of what we're making for Thursday and Friday.  (8 coming on
