Can you think of a better way to eat yellow squash and carrots than in a chocolate cupcake topped with Nutella cream cheese icing? I didn’t think so. August is the very first month of the Nutella Challenge hosted by Bell’ alimento! To get things started, Paula over at Bell’ alimento made a wonderful Nutella…

Friday Favorites – Episode 19
Vacation is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? Unfortunately, coming home from vacation isn’t. Don’t get me wrong – it’s always nice to be home. It’s just that coming home from vacation means laundry, cleaning, and getting back to work. So, needless to say, I am glad that it is finally Friday! I’m ready for the busy “back…
Friday Favorites – Episode 18
Who in her right mind would schedule two meetings on a Friday after being on vacation Monday through Thursday? Yup, that would be me! What was I thinking? I am writing this blog post ahead of time since Friday will most likely be a rough day. I just got home from our second vacation of the…
Penny Pinching Pantry Raid Week 2 Update
The second week of the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid is just about over. After two weeks, I am starting to get settled in with the challenge, and I think it is getting a bit easier. I really think that I must attribute my success with the challenge to my CSA, though. Without it, I would…
CSA Pizza

Hopefully all of you enjoy reading about my picks each week and aren’t too sick of reading about them! This week the weather has felt unmistakably like…
Friday Favorites – Episode 9
I originally wrote this post last evening, trying to sneak it in in the few minutes before it turned to Saturday. However, my site went down right as I went to publish it. That will teach me to leave my Friday Favorites to the last minute! For the second week in a row, I am…
Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash with Grilled Sausage and Zucchini
After a weekend of baking and eating out (because I was too exhausted from all of the baking to make dinner), I decided it would be in my best interest to make a healthy meal for dinner on Monday night. It seems that when I allow myself to splurge a little bit, it snowballs and I…
