Every month(? actually I’m not sure how regularly they send these out), TJs sends out their newsletter of new and recommended products. I looooove it. Their products are usually so good and cheap! Yeah, if you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s I feel sorry for you. I have 2 within 5 mins of where […]

I made my first turkey this weekend during our early Thanksgiving potluck! I was pretty nervous since it was my first time and if you ruin the turkey, the whole meal is shot since it’s the main part of the meal. Oh the pressure! Anyways, after getting some tips from my friend who usually makes […]

I love “challenging” myself and putting myself in situations that are outside of my comfort zone. Unfortunately, I didn’t do quite so well with this latest challenge! I told myself I was going to try the Abs Diet for 2 weeks… I barely made a week! How sad I know! I lasted longer eating vegetarian […]
