Wow, I feel like I’ll never get back to my normal day-to-day life posts… Last month for the 1st time I participated in Foodie Pen Pals, sponsored by Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean, and I wanted to make sure I posted about it before the month was over (side note – can you… Continue Reading

Getting back into the swing of things
Hola! After a couple of flight delays we made it home around midnight last night and I’ve spent the day trying to get back into a normal routine.

Hey Pretty Girl
Because we have a 2 hour flight delay at the airport… This was our friends’ first dance song. It’s by Kip Moore who sings one of my current favorites, something about a truck and I was so surprised that I’d never heard it. When this song came on a Kea and Lorrin started dancing it… Continue Reading

Yams vs Sweet Potatoes. Is there a difference?
Did you know that anytime I talk about how I had a sweet potato I really had a yam? At the grocery store, yams are always cheaper than sweet potatoes so that’s what I buy. My roasted veggies, fries, chili… all yams. They taste exactly the same to me, plus I kind of like that… Continue Reading
