Taste of the Sisterhood- Makeover Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake

Please do not hate me for sharing this recipe. I am not a “sweets” person. I can have ice cream/cookies/dessert/chocolate sitting in my pantry for long periods of time before I ever go near it. However, I am a “salty snacks” kind of gal and I have to be careful of what I have nearby [...]

Sisterhood Virtual 5K and C25K (Couch to 5K)

I like to run.  Well, it’s more like wogging (walk+jogging) but whatevs.  I get the job (ie mileage) done. Prior to October 2009, I was vehemently OPPOSED to running.  I mean, it hurt, I sweated a lot, my breathing sucked, and did I mention that it hurt?  Why would I want to willingly and knowingly [...]

We ate like there was tomorrow [...]

So it’s Friday and it’s my turn to share with you something food-related.  I could talk about fiber and how good it is for you or I could talk about the benefits of any host of fruits and veggies, BUT I would rather share with you a recipe, because I like to cook and I like [...]

True Confessions- So Soon? Already?

I feel like I have been confessing left and right, lately.  I would really like to say that I have nothing to confess, but then I would be lying and nobody likes a liar.  Anyhoo, it is True Confessions Tuesday here at The Sisterhood- a day for all of us to lay it all out [...]
