Are you kidding me right now? I have been hearing about WinCo from my couponing websites for a while now, but there isn't one near my house. One opened about 15 minutes away last weekend. I waited for the opening week craziness to die down before heading out this morning. Holy cow. I love this… Continue reading WinCo Heaven

30 Day Shred – Day 5
Holy cow. I feel like I was just run over by a truck. I stayed out until 2am hanging with my sisters last night. We had a dance party in the living room, played twister, had a puzzle face off (two teams of two working on identical puzzles to see who could finish first), ate… Continue reading 30 Day Shred – Day 5
Spiced Cranberry Compote
So, compote is a pretty fancy term for fruit in a sugar syrup. In this case, it reminds me very much of the most awesome cranberry sauce you've ever had. Spiced and fragrant instead of just the blah dash of color on the corner of your Thanksgiving plate. Delicious with "Colleen", my Pumpkin Eggnog Bread… Continue reading Spiced Cranberry Compote
“Colleen” Pumpkin Eggnog Bread Pudding
My friend Colleen sent me the link to this recipe - and upon first sight I couldn't wait to make it. So, I'm naming it after her. Today, I just did the recipe as it was listed in the original article in the Seattle Times Food & Wine section - except that I coated my… Continue reading “Colleen” Pumpkin Eggnog Bread Pudding
30 Day Shred – Day 4
I woke up this morning, swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Amazingly, my legs didn't feel like they were going to give out beneath me. Must be time to move on up to level 2! So, here are my thought on the second level of Jillian's program. Ugh. Double… Continue reading 30 Day Shred – Day 4
30 Day Shred – Day 3
Here was my final thought before beginning my warm-up today "Oh goodness. How am I supposed to do a whole workout when it hurts just to walk? Ugh!". I stuck with the Level 1 workout again today. I'm getting very close to being able to do "boy push ups" thru both sets of push ups… Continue reading 30 Day Shred – Day 3
Easy Chicken Marinade
This is a quick and easy way to make delicious, flavorful chicken. I use fresh lemon and herbs, but if all you have is the green lemon juice bottle and some dried spices - they'll work in a pinch. Serve up with some rice and veggies. Perfect, simple, fast meal. Photo of the completed meal… Continue reading Easy Chicken Marinade
Memory Verse
So, I just have to share this because my daughter is too cute. Madison has been learning memory verses at a program called Cubbies at our church. She was super excited to finally nail down her final verse this week. She gets to advance to the "big book" of memory verses after she says this… Continue reading Memory Verse
30 Day Shred – Day 2
I've done many different workouts. I've trained for a half-marathon (didn't actually get to the race, but that's another story). I have spent countless hours at the gym doing various forms of cardio, weights, Zumba, Yoga, swimming - pretty much anything available. My weight loss has been steady for the past few years. At one… Continue reading 30 Day Shred – Day 2
Triple Layer Oreo® Pie
Bible study tonight! I whipped up this decadent (totally easy) no-bake pie to get rid of the package of Oreo® Cookies that have been calling my name for the past couple days. Make sure you use only the amount of milk in the recipe, not what the pudding box calls for. Otherwise you'll end up… Continue reading Triple Layer Oreo® Pie
