We’re wrapping up this month’s project for November where we tried some of the recipes featured in the Taste of the Sisterhood and I got a chance to make a bunch of YOUR recipes too! It was AWESOME! And by the way, I went in for a second round of the crock pot oatmeal I [...]
By now, you’re probably finishing (or finished) up the last of your turkey leftovers. You’ve probably shopped till you dropped and had all kinds of goodies over the weekend. So, what better way to get back into the swing of things than to get a good tworkout™ in this evening? Am I right or am [...]
Seriously. Ashton Kutcher, is that you? Is that tree really a tiny camera? I swear I’m on an episode of PUNK’D right now! How in the hell did I end up with the Tuesday confessional post the weekend after Thanksgiving and the day after my birthday? This is so much like the time my friend [...]
I LOVE pico de gallo. With all of my heart. If you haven’t checked out the Pioneer Woman’s Pico de Gallo recipe, you must.do.it.now. It’s perfect in every way. Plus, it’s so easy you’ll want to slap your mama. I’m serious. Did you know you can put pico (we’ll call it pico for short, m’kay?) [...]
Today is our favorite pimp, Ryan’s, birthday. I think he might be 21 or maybe he’s 29, I’m not sure. All I know is we love him and really, who couldn’t love a face like this? Also, when I realized that Ryan was born in 1981, it made me want to punch him really hard. [...]

I should be sending you off with a recipe today that includes some variation of turkey but the truth is, I sent the carcass home with my mom so she could make some turkey soup so today I am featuring a non-turkey-thanksgiving-related recipe! Besides, maybe you’re tired of turkey by now and you’re in the [...]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! Raise your hand if you did a turkey trot yesterday! I did! I woke up at 5 a.m. to run with 16-thousand of my favorite friends in the world. Yes, in my town, more than 16-THOUSAND people got up to run the turkey trot. And I must [...]

Start drinking extra water right now. Yes, now. Right this very minute in fact. Go fill up and I’ll be here when you get back. Wake up on Thursday morning and get out of the house. First thing! You’ve got to get up early to get the turkey in the oven anyway, so set that [...]
Since I have only been eating low-carb, South Beach-inspired meals lately, I decided to share one of the recipes I tried out this week. Despite the name, it was actually quite good, especially the cheesy parts. ;p [print_this] ASPARAGUS SOUP W/PARMESAN SPRINKLE Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil [...]

I’m going to be honest here. I’m not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. Every year at Thanksgiving, I put some on my plate, I try them, gag, find an unsuspecting younger cousin, and scrape my sweet potatoes onto his plate when he’s not looking. And then, The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook introduced me to [...]
