This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband loves telling people that his wife plays fantasy football, but he doesn’t. Secretly, I think he enjoys it. While I certainly enjoy watching the game (especially if the Ravens are playing!), I…

Friday has rolled around yet again! So, naturally, it’s time for me to share my Friday Favorites… Before we jump right into the blog posts, though, I want to introduce a few new features that I’ll be including in each week’s favorites post. Instead of just my favorite blog posts, I thought I’d start talking…

I have no luck with growing tomatoes in my garden (with the exception of golden cherry tomatoes that grow like weeds). I get 100% full sun in my back yard, and the plants usually dry up and the tomatoes split before they ever ripen… Part of that may be my fault (do I water too much?…

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen me tweeting about my new running routine. It feels good to be getting back into running, but I feel like I am really hungry all of the time! My hubby and I eat a lot of salads for lunch, but a plate of greens drizzled with…

I haven’t been doing so well with my Friday Favorites lately… Sometimes I have trouble keeping up. I do enjoy reading everyone’s blogs, though, so I’m doing my best to keep the Friday Favorites coming. This week I thought I’d get right to it and share a few extras with you to make up for…

I had a 6 pound can of peeled whole tomatoes in my pantry. Don’t ask questions… It’s a long story that involves a trip to a price club store and lots of exclamations like “Wow, that’s a huge can of tuna!” or “Check out the size of that bag of chips!” Long story short, the 6…

I have to admit that I’ve been feeling like I’m in a bit of a blogging slump again lately. I seem to have lost some steam since my trip to NYC. As a result, I’m not feeling especially “wordy” as I write this week’s Friday Favorites. So, let’s get right down to business… The first order…

I missed last week’s Friday Favorites post because I had the flu, but this week, I am back in full force! The worst part about being sick was that I couldn’t stand even the thought of food. Needless to say, reading and blogging about food was completely off limits. Fortunately, this week, there have been…

After a week of penny pinching and raiding my pantry, I am happy to say that I am on track and haven’t blown my budget (yet). Because I started with a fairly well-stocked pantry, I have had a lot of options each night when it comes to making dinner. It’s definitely been a shift in…
