Wow. We are approaching a year. My husband gets his first vaccine shot tomorrow. I'm excited and terrified all at once. I should be able to get it by the end of the month. Also terrifying! But this series of posts could come to an end. I'll have to think of some other way to … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 50
Quarantine Life Week 49
Every week, it looks like the world is moving toward opening up more. While I still have some mixed feelings on this, I am looking forward to cookouts and dinner parties. I have an entire "This shit is over" party plan. It's gonna be epic. But for now, let's talk about this week's cooking. Thurs … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 49
Quarantine Week 48
Spring is almost here! We are supposed to have 60 degree whether this coming week. I am super excited. Living in Chicago, I know it could still snow again, but I think it's definitely close to time to pull that grill out of storage and get myself set up downstairs for some summer grilling and … Continue reading Quarantine Week 48
When Things Open
I debated actually posting this one, but here ya go. It's only kind of food related.
Opening Up
I'm not going to lie. Things are starting to open up more, and I am terrified. I hear the experts saying that with the number of people who have had Covid-19, and the number who are now vaccinated, that it is possible to start doing some of those things we were told to avoid for … Continue reading Opening Up
Gross Things I Ate As A Kid
So we eat pretty healthy in our household. We are not dieters and are not crazy all-organic or anything. But we eat a pretty well-rounded diet, and we avoid processed foods, mostly. We do occasionally have junk food nights or eat fried things. And there are a few things I haven't taken to making on … Continue reading Gross Things I Ate As A Kid
Quarantine Life Week 47
I'm working more, and I am sharing my kitchen with Katie, my middle child, so I feel like I've been doing a little less super complicated cooking. But I'm still putting dinner on the table most evenings. I've had some crazy insomnia, so not been so into elaborate breakfasts lately. Thursday (2/18) - I made … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 47
Take Out

When pandemic hit, we added the fact that we would like as little exposure to people outside our home as possible. This has all translated into us … Continue reading Take Out
Quarantine Life Week 46
Okay, I'm not really meeting my goal for posting this year. But I've found myself struggling for time to sit down. I spend more time working these days, which is great, but I need to develop a better blogging schedule, as I truly do enjoy rambling on and hoping someone is reading it. Anyway, we're … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 46
Quarantine Life Week 45
Oh ya, we are still doing this. I'm hearing we may be able to get those vaccines by the end of summer. I'm cautiously optimistic and at the same time may miss this life. You know, I've kind of gotten used to it. Oh, and I'm agoraphobic, so you know, this is kind of okay. … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 45
