• The Weight Series – The Struggle

    The Weight Series – The Struggle

    In my first post, I wanted to shed light on the unfortunate mindset that plagues so many of us, especially around the new year. The idea that we should be different. That who we are right now is not good enough, pretty enough, successful enough, or thin enough. The last conversation was centered around weight… Read more

  • Bacon and Jalapeño Omlette

    Bacon and Jalapeño Omlette

    Other names suggested were: 1. The Jalap-acon Omlette 2. The Jalap-acon-tro Omlette They seemed a little too gimmicky for me, so I stuck with the original food spellings (plus I like using the ñ in Jalapeño). Enjoy this as a fancier-than-normal beginning to your day, or cook up a bunch for your weekend brunch! It’s not… Read more

    Brussels and Bacon Hash

    It’s no secret that everyone loves bacon. But brussels sprouts? File that relationship under “It’s Complicated”. Brussels have a lot of obstacles in making onto the mainstream dinner table. First of all, my parent’s generation is (rightfully) scarred from their parents deciding that boiling was the best cooking method. Um, Ew. Secondly, the smell of cooking brussels… Read more

    Blueberry Banana Bread Pudding

    Here’s a fantastic idea for your post-holiday weekend brunch! (New Year’s Resolutions notwithstanding… more on that later.)   I made these for my romantic and relaxing Christmas morning with my husband.
