Today was the day that we’ve dreamed of. Turtle Hospital Day! It was also surprisingly so much more than just turtles. Although that was all we had really planned, we surprised ourselves with a drive to Key West for lunch and beautiful sunset dinner. Such a winner of a day. Despite hugging myself to sleep…
Our first real day on vacation was a success. We started in Miami and ended in the Keys. It was bright and sunny. We got some seafood in us… and closed the day tucked into bed by 10 pm. Another far cry from our previous Miami trip when dinner reservations were just getting started at…
Well nothing says a start to a winter vacation like a threatening blizzard and landing in a rain storm… right? Meghan and I planned this long weekend a little spontaneously to take advantage of some work travel. Although we almost cancelled due to the allure slash fear of missing the blizzard, we pushed on through.…
It’s been about a lifetime since I made a quiche – or so it feels. Each time I’m always pleasantly surprised at how easy these gems come together. Quiche is pretty much impossible to mess up. You can seemingly put anything you want in as well …. which helps to reduce kitchen waste. While those…
I’m not a betting woman. There are probably two main reasons for this. I hate losing and I hate wasting money. All that being said, the Powerball is at $1+ BILLION dollars. I’m just not even sure what one person does with that much money. So, I figured I’d make a list of what I…
In my mind, it is still Christmas. That is because I refuse to take down my tree and lights – or get rid of the poinsettias I have around the fireplace. Whatever, I live alone. Eleanor and I still think it’s a win to watch Netflix and gaze at all the lights. Don’t care. This…
I might be turning into a broken record here… but I’m still going to say it. When I think about picking recipes to cook over the weekend, I think about what has the potential to taste good three days later. This absolutely limits what I end up cooking. Breaded chicken or fish? Sorry, that won’t…
While I was always in a quest for good leftover meals, this challenge means even more to me now. I love things that are seemingly well balanced meals and re-heat in 90 seconds. I don’t get home until after 7:30 and there is no sense in even imagining a world where I’m cooking a meal…
I’d like to introduce you to a wonderful scone variety – unfortunately, he’s appropriate for about as long as the Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes are. Meet the Gingerbread scone. While he would taste the same all year long, he tastes best probably November to New Years Eve. Maybe one weekend into the month of…
Bye Florida. Today was largely uneventful. It was a lot of drive to the airport, go through security, go through security again because you accidentally left the terminal, and then fly home. But before all that, I took a sunrise walk on the beach. It might have been one of the prettiest sunrises in the…
