SAY WHAAAA? Shut the front door. Good God Amighty! With Kevin out of town this week I’ve been playing in the kitchen a lot. I was looking through the fridge and found a myriad of leftovers and created this beauty: Y’all – it just wasn’t fair it was so good. Here’s the line up: Real … Continue reading
I had a much needed weekend of soul soothing and what I’d like to think of recovery and the road to redemption. After gorging myself on Friday morning with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked I realized I couldn’t continue down that dangerous road. I made a promise to myself as I licked … Continue reading
“If I can do it, you can do it, too!” I read this article a while ago and it got brought up again and I’ve just been stewing…. It’s just bullshit. I’m sorry. Not the woman, not her mission, not her intention. Just this phrase infuriates me. I hate, with every ounce of my being, when people say … Continue reading
Yeah buddy. It’s fall. And you know what I love in Fall? Pumpkin…pistachios…and anything “spiced.” So, I figured I’d put them all together and go with it. While I try to eat whole foods and nothing processed, I can’t be perfect. I was feeling particularly lazy and found this Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake … Continue reading

I watched the end of Donald’s story, Ashley’s story and Melissa’s story. Melissa’s story really touched something in me: a young married woman wanting children and a new … Continue reading
WTF? Black Bean Brownies? I’ve heard of them. I was a skeptic. I thought to myself, “There are two places for black beans – 1. in soup with queso and 2. in a quesadilla.” But lately I’ve been craving sweets like nobodies business so I thought I’d give it a shot. I make bomb brownies. … Continue reading
We believe that kicking ass is best done in pretty shoes. We’ve learned that real women sweat, and sweat hard. We know that assertiveness, strength, and ambition are the ultimate feminine qualities.

I can remember when the first thing I would do in my pictures is notice my double chin. And I can remember thinking that was the one thing I’d like to change. (I was fine with the big hips. I was fine with the tummy. But dammit – that chin was just over the top. … Continue reading
I was thumbing through the Internets looking for inspiration and found myself getting quite annoyed. (Tumblr can be a dark lonely bad place.) I stumbled across “reasons to lose weight” and realized mine were nothing like a lot of peoples. I kept seeing things like, “to sit on a guys lap”, “to not dread showing … Continue reading
I contemplated not going to Weight Watchers yesterday.I knew I’d weigh heavy from the weekend. I knew it’d disappoint me. I knew I’d be upset. And I did. And I was. I sat down next to my dad totally bummed and mad myself. “All that hard work down the drain because you can’t keep your … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
