Pregnancy cravings

I’ve been feeling pretty nasty (lots of morning sickness) the last few weeks. I’ve also been pretty picky over food.. even losing interest in one of my faves- TACOS!
Many of my favorite foods I can’t seem to stomach right now. I’ve also been having some really ODD (for me, anyway!) cravings:
- Cherry limeade from Sonic
- [...]

Four more weeks

I had sincerely hoped to get out holiday decor out & put up this weekend. That never happened *lol* . Since we so recently had our fifth wedding anniversary, K had other plans for us.
On Saturday, we took the kids to Mom & Dad’s & left them there (Yes, ALL of them!) so we could [...]

Miami Culinary Arts

Some of you know that K has been looking into going to a Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts so that he can become a chef.

Currently on my needles

Green tea & matcha

K & I enjoy not only Japanese cuisine, but also Japanese green tea & matcha. I’ve never had a good grade of matcha, as it is more costly. The higher cost is definitely worth it however. Uji Matcha is derived from Tencha, a rare & very special tea.
The beauty of this fine tea is intense [...]

Turkey gets an A+

So I blogged not too long ago about how red meat messes with my system & that I cut it out of my diet. I decided to try ground turkey in place of beef in burgers, spaghetti & chili. I must admit, the taste is SO much better to me! It seems like it tastes [...]

No more

Okay, so looks like this post disappeared when I wrote my Harry Potter post. Weird. So a re-post is in order!
It’s official, as of yesterday I am DONE with red meat. My body apparently can’t handle the digesting of it very well & I’ve felt ill all day. This is from meatloaf yesterday at Mom [...]
