Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 1

Yep! I'm spending eight weeks in Oaxaca, Mexico. My friend who lives here is currently galivanting around Chicago for the summer, so I am subletting her place for a couple of months. It's one of the great advantages of working remote. I can work wherever I am, so currently, I am in Oaxaca. It was … Continue reading Ocho Semanas en Oaxaca: Episodio 1 →

Food Diary Week 105 (3/31-4/6/2022)

For the weekend, the husband and I decided to get away. We left on Thursday and returned Sunday evening. We got a cute little Airbnb in Douglas, Michigan, right off the town center. It was an amazing weekend. However, this meant I did not do any cooking. I have given him the parameters of either … Continue reading Food Diary Week 105 (3/31-4/6/2022) →

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) →

Food Diary Week 103 (3/17-3/23/2022)

Ya, I'm still trying to keep this diary up. I'm just a little behind. I'm sure like most bloggers, life sometimes gets in the way of writing. But I enjoy talking about my food adventures and no one has kicked me off the internet yet! Overall, it was a pretty good food week. I made … Continue reading Food Diary Week 103 (3/17-3/23/2022) →

Food Diary Week 102 – 3/10-3/16

Well, looking back at the photos, my first full week back was definitely more of a let someone else cook kind of week. There were taquitos from my favorite bar and grill. They are now doing taquitos every Thursday, which almost makes up for not just putting them back on the regular menu. There was … Continue reading Food Diary Week 102 – 3/10-3/16 →

Food Diary Week 101 – 3/3/22-3/9/22

I am so behind on blogging! I still haven't even posted all the fun from Mexico. Life has been so busy and I'll admit my cooking adventures these days are nowhere near as impressive as they were when we were all locked up. But I am enjoying being somewhere between the lockdown and total freedom … Continue reading Food Diary Week 101 – 3/3/22-3/9/22 →

Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87

Let's be fair. I am a month behind and writing several weeks' posts at once. So yes, the cranky from week 85 continues to carry through. And I'm combining a couple of weeks because I got carried away writing it and because I'm so damned behind again and I have several non-diary blog post ideas … Continue reading Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87 →

Covid Life Food Diary Week 81

Yep. I decided to change the title. We are all living the Covid life. Whether you are in quarantine, semi-quarantine or just plain don't give a damn, Covid is part of our lives and it doesn't look like it's going away. But I like my food diary and while I might change the name again...and … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 81 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 77

This was hopefully the last truly hot week this year. Fall is here after all, so I want cool days and even cooler nights. But don't worry, I'll be complaining about the cold before we know it. But Covid numbers are trending down in Chicago and vaccine numbers are trending up so let's keep a … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 77 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 76

I'm almost caught up to the present week. Of course, I'll commit to keeping them current. But we'll all know I am probably lying...or just wishful thinking. But hey, we all just do the best we can! This week saw some food victories and of course, some less than victorious moments. Thursday (9/9) - We … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 76 →
