“We’re baby-free!” I cried out as my hubby and I headed to the beach to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first child-less weekend. The second day into it, I get the dreaded call. Our 13 month old girls have RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). Happy anniversary dear. Have you ever experienced 42 pounds of babies … Continue reading
30 Day Vegetarian Challenge Week 2
Does it suck, or do I suck? That’s the conundrum I face when attempting to cook vegetarian recipes. I’m a carnivore, turned vegan for the month, and I’ve been sampling new recipes.

30 Day Vegetarian Challenge Week 1
“I just can’t do it anymore,” my husband declares over our food processor. It’s covered in a black bean-quinoa mush that he’s grinding into black bean burgers. “I can’t stand the smell,” he says.

To Ve’ or Not to Ve’
I am a meat eater. There’s nothing better in this world than a medium-rare rib eye. My mouth waters just thinking about slicing into that tender, juicy, pink meat. Delightful.

Weep With Those Who Weep
“Weep with those who weep.” – Romans 12:15b We weep with you Sandy Hook Elementary. The nation grieves for the families of Newton, Connecticut. Our best response is to weep with you, and to share your broken hearts. Unworthy. I had no idea how to approach a worthy response to such great tragedy. It took … Continue reading
