Chicken + Peeta

March 29, 2012

I promise the Hunger Games post titles will stop after this one, but I couldn’t help myself (again). There isn’t even a pita in this post, technically, but this picture reminded me of one, and then I thought of my sister-in-law, Susan, who told me that “Peeta” always reminded her of “pita” as she was [...]

The Boy With The Bread

March 27, 2012

Will that be the last Hunger Games reference from me? I’m making no promises. I can promise, however, that meal planning is off to a good start. For yesterday’s lunch I threw together ate my planned bowl of miso soup. I made it Mama Bender style, with mushrooms and a dollop of “sour cream,” aka [...]

Slightly Spicy Snoozy Saturday

March 24, 2012

It was so nice to be able to sleep in this morning! There wasn’t as much sleep to be had this past week but I’m finally feeling caught up and hopefully will no longer hit a wall at 3:00 p.m. Last night we stayed in to watch basketball, which also means we opened a bottle [...]

Of course, [...]

Why I Love Living In The Big City

March 4, 2012

You all know how much I love Arizona. What I don’t often mention – because I take it for granted – is how much I love living in downtown Chicago. I am not a big city girl by nature. My personality lends itself to quieter, smaller towns, and that is certainly where Bobby and I [...]

Every Day I’m Hustlin’

February 26, 2012

I hope LMFAO won’t mind that I altered their Party Rock Anthem a bit. I had a good reason: I was in need of a song to motivate me to climb 94 flights of stairs at this year’s Hustle Up the Hancock! We arrived at the John Hancock Center a little before 11:00 a.m. to [...]
