Awww, Maddox won 3rd place in the Mario Kart Tournament!!! He beat out his age group and then advanced to the final round with all age groups. So proud of him!! Book Update: Sitting in the “new books” section of the library was “Raising the Curve: A Year Inside One of America’s 45,000 Failing Schools” …
And the burger says: ahhhhhh! Book Update: I watched Food Network Star instead of reading… Oh well! What is with Chad’s pants on that show? I didn’t know people made pants for men that were literally bright red. Except for maybe a costume? I’m sorry to see him go… Maybe he never had much …
Book Update: This month’s book club book is “Skeletons on the Zahara” by Dean King. It is a true story of a twelve American sailors who shipwrecked onto the west coast of Africa in 1815. Almost 5 stars on Amazon as well. I’ve been perusing my old Good Eats books (Volumes 1, 2 and 3 …
Don’t let the “paleo” label scare you. I stayed away from it too at first thinking the food wasn’t going to be good or because it is soooo healthy it can’t possibly taste better. I am not on the paleo diet. I think of my diet as more in terms of the things I do …

Do you know why fries are soooo fattening at the restaurants? Because they are fried…. twice! Restaurants can make fries super fast because they are already fried first at the plant before shipment. Then, the french fries are fried again before serving. I love this recipe for fries because yields crispy results and very tasty …
Book Update: Well, Downton Abbey has been keeping me from reading as much as I usually do. Of course, I did do my homework for Positive Psych and we are discussing resilience in children, well-being through the lifespan and post-traumatic growth. Recipe Update: This recipe is a twist on my old beef tacos staple. We …
I wish I could pour syrup onto everything. Putting into meat is about just as good 🙂 Here is a copycat recipe for Jimmy Dean’s Maple Breakfast Sausage. Of course, I lightened it up by testing it out on the ground turkey I buy a lot of at Costco. The kids and I ate it …
Book Update: I found “The Giver”! I’m so excited that I found it! I knew I had that book somewhere. Beginning to read a book you read so long ago is nostalgic. It is such a classic. Ordering soon are “Love Trumps Grief” by Kristin Akin and “Comfort Food Makeovers” by America’s Test Kitchen. …
