Well, Sunday afternoons seem to be my blogging time these days. But I do have visitors coming the next couple of weekends, so that might postpone my writing a bit. It's been a pretty productive week. I did some shopping, some cooking, some exploring, and of course, some eating! I also did some work...but who … Continue reading Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 2

Food Diary Week 104 (3/24-3/30/2022)
At the end of March, I apparently wasn't totally feeling the cooking vibe and definitely didn't have a photo vibe. I have like three food pictures! But I did do a little cooking. This week, I experimented with some protein bars based off a recipe I found on NYT Cooking. I made a few changes, … Continue reading Food Diary Week 104 (3/24-3/30/2022)
Oaxaca Food
So, I'm sitting in Oaxaca. This is my second trip here and I realized I never posted a blog on my first trip. That's just neglect because it was an experience. There are beautiful works of art, historical architecture, historical ruins, and so many other things to enjoy here. But you know me. I was … Continue reading Oaxaca Food
Food Library Week 95 (1/20-1/26)
I'm officially done with my cooking break! I still have my husband help out with things like getting the instant pot from its storage place on top of our fridge to the counter and anything else that involves heavy lifting, but I'm back. That said, we started this week with take-out. We were really craving … Continue reading Food Library Week 95 (1/20-1/26)
Food Diary Week 94 (1/13-1/19)
This was my second week of my mini-break from cooking. We did a lot of leftovers and a lot of take out again. Okay, it was not a lot of take-out, but more often than I prefer. Like, I know what I put in my food and where the foods come from for the most … Continue reading Food Diary Week 94 (1/13-1/19)
Food Diary Week 93 (1/6-1/12)
So, I went on a "break" from cooking at the beginning of 2022. No, this was not a much needed break from meal planning and preparation. My shoulder was injured and I needed to not be standing in my kitchen, chopping, stirring, mashing, and picking up all manners of heavy appliances and such. So the … Continue reading Food Diary Week 93 (1/6-1/12)
Food Diary Week 92 (12/30-1/5)
Okay, I've officially decided to stop relating this food diary to Covid. Covid has and is exercising control over too much of life. I'm ready to move on. No, I'm not one of those people who have decided to pretend it's over or not happening, but I need a few spaces where I don't need … Continue reading Food Diary Week 92 (12/30-1/5)
Covid Life Food Diary Week 91 (12/23-12/29)
So it's New Year's Eve and I'm exhausted. But I wanted to finish out the year's journal so here I am. I apologize if it comes off a little like the ramblings of a lunatic. Kidding. I'll try to be coherent. I still have one other blog post I seriously want to post this year. … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 91 (12/23-12/29)
Arkansas Phipps Family Thanksgiving 2021
This year, the hubby and I decided to go to Arkansas after Thanksgiving to celebrate with my family. With my dad gone this year, we all just need more time together. We won't be going home for Christmas as none of our schedules would work out for that, so we wanted to make Thanksgiving the … Continue reading Arkansas Phipps Family Thanksgiving 2021
Covid Life Food Diary Week 90
NINETY WEEKS! Can you believe all this "covid life" started 90 weeks ago? That is just insane. I remember when the lockdowns started. I remember thinking this was going to be more than the two weeks officials were talking about. But there is no way I could ever have predicted our lives would still be … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 90
