Deserving

I’m entering (or have entered) a new chapter in my life. A chapter that isn’t marked by a graduation, marriage, or child. Instead, it is marked by a change in perspective or enlightenment. To the outside world I probably appear to be the same person I was a few months ago, but to me I [...]

Energy

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about energy. Stuff, items, people in my life that give energy and those that take energy. Exercise gives me energy, TV takes energy. Fresh home cooked food gives energy, processed foods take it away. Folks with a sense of humor and an easy smile give energy, those with excess [...]

Week Five

I decided to  wait until the last minute cook my gryos for dinner tonight. I will post my update sometime before midnight if I’m lucky. Can’t wait to see everyones posts!

Recipe: Zucchini and Feta Griddle Cakes for Two

Have you ever done something that later left you thinking “self, you’re awesome for doing that!”? Well, over the summer people were leaving zucchini at my doorstep and then running away. Not really, but that’s a better story than me feeling sorry for the unloved zucchini and bringing any and all that was offered to [...]
