They have saved me money wise for buying on-the-go snacks like Salt & Vinegar chips (My favorite!) and other more healthy alternatives like the packaged assortments of nuts and dried fruits. Last week was a crazy week with all the…
Originally posted 2015-09-04 12:09:13. It’s been a brutal week – I’m still drinking pop, I gave in and had McDonalds on the first day of classes, and I somehow contracted a summer/fall cold! But you know what? That’s okay. I walked 2 miles on the first day of school, I choose to eat a salad…
A long, long time ago, back in 1990, I was a young woman about to graduate high school. It was a very different time back then- before the internet, cell phones, social media, 24 hour news, etc. Though, we did have acid washed jeans and the start of grunge music. But, much like now, I…

My grandmother was many things- tiny, fierce, independent, stubborn, mouthy, and fiery. In many ways, I am her clone. One thing she was not, however, was a good cook. Growing up, most of the food we ate started out from a can or the freezer, the veggies were always overly cooked, and the meat always…
