I have a new love. The bulk bins at our local Winco Supermarket. I’ve never shopped bulk before but I find I now am in love.
Category: In The Kitchen
Hmm..
There are days when I think I just kick ass in the kitchen, I’m the greatest cook and make the greatest stuff. Then some days I think the only thing I can make is the greatest mess! Frustrating, huh?
Frozen Meals
I’m lazy. Really lazy. So in order to feed my need of being lazy, especially with the really yucky schedule I’m on, I do things like cook for an army.
Out Of The Comfort Zone
I normally don’t stray too far out of my comfort zone in the kitchen. I stay mostly with American, Mexican, or Italian food. But for some crazy reason I had decided I wanted to make Indian curry. My friend and I used to go to a great Indian place every once in a while and… Read more
Obsessive Cake Frosting
Sometimes at night we get horrible sweet cravings. Since I’m more sensitive to sugar now and I’m trying to make healthier eating habits we don’t keep as much sweet stuff in the house anymore.

Spoiled Me
I’m spoiled. I admit that. And unfortunately its painfully obvious to me. Not long ago I decided to try my hand at baking yeast breads. It was definitely a learning experience. In the end I came across The Fresh Loaf and found this delicious thing. Forgive the weird neon picture, it was taken with an… Read more
Something Terrible
Something terrible has been happening to me lately. I’ve noticed differences in my mind, taste, and body that are impossible to ignore. It’s changing. In general, I HATE CHANGE with a vengeance. But this change seems to be something my body wants to do, and therefore is enforcing on me without my real knowing.
