Some days, the last thing I want to be is an adult.
Wouldn’t it be nice to pop back to childhood once in awhile? Just click your heels three times and there you are, seven years old again and free from responsibility, obligation and demands. Life is simple, and even easy. You get up and someone [...]

The Obama family is settling into their new home tonight, the big one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. There are toys to be put away, closets to be filled with clothes and beds to be fluffed. But one thing that I loved to hear was that Michelle Obama said that she plans to make sure [...]

My mind has been elsewhere these past few weeks. It’s been consumed with thoughts of losing weight, eating better, exercising more, as well as more mundane thoughts of snow removal and getting all of my work done on time. I miss the leisurely days of last summer, when fresh vegetables were only a walk away [...]

When I woke up yesterday, I looked outside to see delicate snowflakes falling gently from the sky and adding a blanket of pristine white snow to the outdoors.

Earlier this month, my cousin hosted a luncheon for her sister to celebrate her soon-to-be-born second child. It was a nice, small gathering of family and a few close friends. My cousin put together a great spread of veggie sandwiches, chicken clubs and egg salad sandwiches, along with several delicious salads and desserts. But the [...]

Garlic. When I say the word, two things come to mind: First, my grandmother who back in the 80s caught wind of the health benefits and took it to heart. And second, the fact that people either love garlic (me!) or hate it (Shawn!). While I am not a fan of raw garlic (is anyone?), [...]

Light and Delish: Blue Cheese Souffle
Posted on January 5, 2009 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 4 Comments
Souffle. It’s one of those words that conjures up notions of complexity and difficulty. It just sounds so fussy. But with some cheese begging to be used and egg whites calling my name, I decided to bite the bullet and try Blue Cheese Souffle from Barefoot in Paris, one of Ina Garten’s cookbooks and the [...]

Ahh, the New Year.
I was so happy last night when I finished all my work for 2008 at 6 p.m. All of it. So, we got Chinese food for dinner – our tradition. Then, the pooped out kids went to bed and Shawn and I watched The Pursuit of Happyness. [...]
