Eat.Live.Be Week 4 {Recipe: Chocolate Malt Krispie Bars}
Technically this… Plus this… Should not equal this… (which is down 2 pounds from my weigh in last week of 179). I did a horrible job on my Weight Watchers points this week, but made up for it with keeping up with my exercising. Even got up at 6am on Saturday to exercise… I purposely…
Differences {Recipe: Triple Chocolate Malt Bread}
Triple chocolate malt bread is a chocolate lovers dream, with three types of chocolate in one tasty dessert loaf. I dropped my kids off at school today, got in the car and practically cheered. I love having my kids home, but for the past three days there has been nothing but bickering and meanness coming…
Eat. Live. Be. Week 3 (Recipe: Recipe Girl Fish Tacos)
I’m going to just get right to business here. The scale was not so nice to me this past Monday for weigh in, and after some of my behavior from this past week, I wouldn’t expect it to be. I knew when I first posted my weight on my blog, it would be hard putting…
An Ended Love Affair (Recipe: Hershey’s Toffee Bit Cookies)
It was great while it lasted… I know it was only yesterday that I was claiming my true love for all things snow. Yes, I threw around the word “Happiness” and how I was “present” with my kids. I even said “beautiful” and “Kansas” in the same sentence, which I believe is a first for…
Eat. Live. Be. Week 2 Update (Recipe: Crispy Oven Roast Chicken)
One of my very first posts many moons ago on Dine & Dish was about how I don’t “do” snow. I’m not a fan. I think it’s pretty and all, but I’d rather sit in by the fire, snuggled up with a good book, looking out on it falling gently on the trees rather than…
White Wedding Cake Buttercream Frosting
I had the grandest of plans for blogging the first week of the year. I had ideas running through my head, cool things to implement and fun stuff up my sleeve. You know what happened though? Life… yep. Good old life. For the first time in ages, I’ve actually felt like a stay at home…
Gingerbread Family Christmas
I have a sick little one this week, so most of our normal Christmas traditions have gotten pushed to the wayside as we simply try and keep up with getting her well before the big man in the red suit shimmies down our chimney. One such tradition is our annual Christmas picture, which hasn’t gotten…
Cookie Overload? {Recipe: Brown Sugar Fruit Dip}
Anyone out there tired of cookies and other baked goods yet? I mean, it has been a non-stop flow of cookies, cakes, brownies, breads coming out of my oven since November 1st. I think I would be fine never seeing another baked good for the rest of my life… OK – that is totally…
My Mom’s Homemade Chicken and Egg Noodles
I’m sharing a very special recipe with you today. I told you about my mom’s recipe for Spaghetti and Meatballs a few weeks ago. Her homemade Chicken and Noodle recipe is the other meal that feels like home. It’s one of those that I don’t remember loving as much growing up, but when…
