When I was poor and in college, my friend Jason and I used to go out for half price tall boy beers and half price buffalo wings liiiike every week. We could pretty much get bombed and full for 10 bucks a piece! It was pretty glorious especially in hind sight living in a state…
So this weekend in my house we decided that the chore….I mean joy, of cooking should be shared a little more evenly. Don’t get me wrong, I adore cooking! You know this. I love my job, but given the opportunity to build an amazing professional kitchen and join the cast of Travel or Food Network,…
I am getting old. Or busy. Or tired. Or all of the above. My conversation with Josh post dinner went like this: Me “I feel like my blog posts used to be witty and funny. Now they’re not” Josh “Why, blogging too much?” Me “No I think it’s too much of everything else! What did…
If you’ve been reading the blog over the last few weeks or noticed my blogging, or lack thereof, in April and May last year you know that my job keeps me insanely busy. The nature of my job regularly has me on the road or at events where eating a healthy lunch is a real…
It has been an incredibly long and trying week and it is only Thursday! I feel like I’m pushing my body right over the limit physically in the gym and mentally at work. And gearing up for running 10 miles, when I currently don’t even run 1 at a time which is emotionally draining every…

It was going to be a hectic week. Two night meetings, two late evening workouts and one super early bootcamp, a walk through the new condo, plus getting ready to head to Vermont. So on Sunday, despite the fact that my entire body hurt, I knew I needed to get food ready for the week.…
Last Thursday I was completely worn out from cooking at home. I normally cook 3 sometimes 4 days in a row before I’m too tired and we either go out or Josh cooks something (don’t laugh). So after cooking on Sunday night, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and last Wednesday, I was not exactly happy about…
I was surfing the meat counter at Whole Foods not too long ago since I’m regularly looking for products I’ve never seen before. Especially since I dazed out a this month and forgot to pick up my CSA from Stillman. So for the next month, I’ll be getting meat elsewhere. But back to the meat…
I grew up eating chicken salad. Not like greens with chicken on it. Like chicken with mayo in it. My mother made the literal best chicken salad any side of the Mason Dixon and that’s a fact. In fact, when I was a teenager, I worked in the country store we owned and when I…
