I admit it: the stress got to me. For those of you following along, you know we have been getting the house ready to put on the market. The kitchen is done and the house is a mess. I have been polishing, cleaning and organizing cabinets, pantries, closets etc. and in the meantime, everything else…
Agh, me time. I love ‘me time’ and I am not one that needs to pause and try to remember my favorite ways to relax and enjoy time to myself. My top three ways are: 1. A warm bath with no interruptions (reality = fewer interruptions). 2. Reading a magazine in a warm bed with…
Let’s Go Uconn, Let’s Go!! My Graduate School Alma Mater won the NCAA tournament last night and it brings me back, ahem, many a few years. I garnered my Masters of Science from the Department of Immunology at Uconn and attended many B-bal games while I was there. I recall standing out in front of the Gampel…

Last week, in Challenge Week #1, I took it upon myself to be more mindful of using leftovers as a way to save money and uh, why waste right? I did a great job! I created a loaded frittata, salads, Chicken Cordon Bleu Buttermilk Biscuits and made some pizza using leftovers as well (A BBQ chicken). For Week 2,…
I am not making it up, the title above is exactly what I made. I should also add that apparently these are hand pies….but not. Well, you will see. If you recall, I challenged myself to be more mindful of using leftovers so, I grabbed myself some Trader Joe’s buttermilk biscuits (I make a monthly trip about 40 minutes away)…
See that red casserole dish up there? Yes, the one above this text? That was the color of my face one fateful day. The day I am speaking was a longgg few years ago while I was in graduate school. I was mid-way through my Masters’ research program (this is not the hiccup story again) and so it…
