I admit it. I’m a food hoarder. My husband also has a blog and told me he was going to write about my food hoarding. I decided I would beat him to it to get my side out first. Point: me.
No-Sugar Grilled Pineapple Rings
We have a friend who makes amazing grilled pineapple. Every time I was at her house, I’d eat more than my fair share. I was so sad to learn that she made it by covering it in brown sugar. One day I had a hankering for that sugary, warm, juicy grilled pineapple. I decided there […]
Read This Before You Do the Whole 30
One of the challenges I’ve done is the Whole 30. If you’re unfamiliar with the Whole 30, it’s a challenge that requires you to eat Paleo for 30 days. Paleo basically means you get to eat meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds for 30 days. Not only does this help clean out your body […]

Last Saturday afternoon I was pulling weeds in my garden. I felt a tickle in my ear. I thought it must be sweat, but then the tickle turned into a flutter… inside my ear. I quickly realized, there was a bug in my ear. Oh! My! Gosh! I ran to the house in a panic and […]
Backyard BBQ Foil Potatoes
Last weekend, we grilled burgers for dinner. We wanted potatoes with our burgers and decided to make them on the grill. Maybe we wanted to feel like pioneers (with our propane-fueled, electrical-started grill??). I’m not sure, we just decided we needed to make the potatoes on the grill. The experiment went really well.
