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… →

Timing is Everything
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? The most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?! How can I possibly choose?! My husband is a foodie.

Meat and Potatoes
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? My parents were simple when it came to food. They were both very picky eaters, something that they passed on to me. For example, I thought everybody had turkey and ham at Thanksgiving. Turns out, we only did because my dad didn’t like turkey.… →

It’s Not the Food, It’s the Company
What is your favorite restaurant? This question is kind of like when my students asked me what my favorite song is. I needed clarification. As in, do you mean what my favorite country song is? Or my favorite rap song? Same thing with restaurants. I don’t have a favorite overall. I do have a favorite… →

In Confidence
When it comes to confidence, I think the best way to determine if someone has it is the way they talk. Do they know what they’re talking about? Some people don’t and are just really good at faking it. I’m thinking particularly about my husband with this question. There’s three things about how he talks… →
