This past week was the first full one back after the holidays and it kicked my butt. It didn’t help that there were several other things going on after school hours. I visited a coworker’s baby, started a new class for work, and we had our work holiday party. There was some miscommunication between Blair …
I know, I know I am totally throwing your New Year’s diet for a loop with these brownies. I may or may not have had one every day last week with some ice cream for a dessert-no big deal. Honestly, I didn’t even feel guilty about it because they hit the spot and cheered me …

A few weeks ago the ladies I work with got together for a night of Bunco. It is a really fun game and since we only do it once a year, I look forward to the night pretty much all year long. We each contribute some type of dish and we catch up on everything …
One of my very favorite summer dinners that my mom used to prepare growing up was grilled chicken sandwiches. She would simply marinade the chicken and grill it up for us. She usually bought some sourdough bread which we toasted and smothered with mayo. The chicken was placed on top and it was the perfect …
