• Cooking with Grandma

    Flashback Friday I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone looking for inspiration for today’s post. “Flashback” doesn’t mean you have to flash WAY back. I came across a picture of a dish that I made a couple years ago. I usually make it once every summer. My grandmother used to make it. Cucumbers…

  • I Like Beets, But I Don’t Like Liver (or Pepsi)

    Flashback Friday I’m revisiting one of the daily prompts that came up on this day last year. I thought maybe there was a way I could tie in my answer to the “Flashback Friday” theme. My answer to this question last year was “Why?”. My husband would always try and help me when my anxiety…

  • Yes, It Was That Good

    “Something Good” Sunday After Josh and I ate dinner last night, it was easy for me to decide on the good thing I was going to write about today. With it being Valentine’s Day yesterday, Josh cooked us a lovely dinner. He grilled filet mignon and asparagus that had a great vinaigrette/marinade type of seasoning…

  • My Potato Salad Dowry

    Here we go with another food question. Come on WordPress! How many times do I have to tell you about me and food? As in, I don’t eat much because I take medicine that kills my appetite, and 2, I don’t like cooking. My husband is the foodie and takes pride in cooking these amazing…

  • It’s Not Wrong, But You Might Be

    What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? It’s funny that this question comes up today, the day after my journey to becoming a Swiftie concluded. I can honestly say I changed my mind about Taylor Swift. Never hated her, just was never a fan. But now I’m kind of obsessed like…

  • Saturday Steak Night

    What are your favorite types of foods? Once again, a question that is nearly identical to one that was asked recently—What foods would you like to make? Asked on July 18th of this year. Read Ew! Food! to see why I generally don’t like questions about food. I don’t eat much anymore. The medicine my…

  • “Did You Wash Your Hands?” And Other Hard Hitting Questions

    Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Me: Is it an animal? Lily: No. Me: Is it food? Lily: No. Me: Is it an object? Lily: Yes. Me: Can you ride it? Lily: giggles No! And on and on this line of…

  • Cold and Tired, But Ready for Adventure

    How are you feeling right now? This is a very appropriate question for my current situation. And by situation, I mean sitting up cross legged in a very fluffy bed with furry pink pillows and velvet blankets. My littlest niece has camped out with her big sister so I could have her room while I’m…

  • Matrimony and a Mystery Dinner

    What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Meals are pretty expensive these days. When I was in high school and went on this youth trip to Washington, D.C., the tour leaders gave us each a $5 bill when we would stop at McDonald’s or some other fast food…

  • Ew! Food!

    What foods would you like to make? Let’s not talk about food. Over the past year and a half, my whole attitude about food has changed. My husband is a foodie. He makes amazing food and for many years, I cooked dinner every night because I always got home from work first. On the weekends,…
