A couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail with a study abroad opportunity through A&M – to three countries in Asia! I forwarded the e-mail to my mom, honestly not even thinking it would be a possibility of going…and she replied “you know, that might be a really good opportunity!” So…the wheels started turning, [...]
On the way home from work I stopped by HEB to get the goods for a delicious soup (I’ll post that recipe on Friday)…then went home to begin dinner. Normally, I let Tegan inside as soon as I come home, but since the weather was so nice yesterday afternoon, I decided to start dinner and [...]
So, it’s been almost a month since I’ve updated! Basically, my life now consists of working and grad school…with occasional fun thrown in one night a weekend. So far, school is going well – just a lot of busy work! I have my first (and only) midterm next week…I can’t believe the semester is halfway [...]
In remembrance of the 9/11 terrorist attacks 8 years ago today, I found the following poem by 7th grade student Hannah Schoechert. We’re Still Standing © Hannah Schoechert Those twin towers Standing tall with pride, Fell with grieving hearts. Stunned, America cried. But we’re still standing. Bin Laden tried To crush our land, But we [...]
My mom always used to make “Chicken with Mixed Vegetables”…and to this day it is one of my all time favorite meals. It’s super easy, and you can use chicken OR beef – and for that matter, I’m sure turkey breast would work, too! Once again, I don’t have a picture – I’m working on getting [...]
In an effort to save money and eat healthier, I am going toplan out meals/menus for at least two weeks at a time (I was brave and did 3 weeks this time…but I also have a week of training during the middle of that time period, so I don’t need leftovers for lunch) :) So…my [...]
Yes, I know it’s not Friday…but I forgot to blog last Friday, so I’m doing it today. :) Last week I made an awesome crock pot meal. I found a recipe for Mediterranean Pork Chops (ok, so the original recipe called for chicken, but I had pork chops) on the blog, A Year of Slow [...]
So, I am going to do “Food Fridays”…but just not today. I didn’t cook much this week; Don and Urs fed me ribs and green chile pork stew (which was DELICIOUS), and last night I just did fillets on the grill and saffron rice, so no real recipes there :) Next week though, I’ll post! [...]
So, my friend Sirena does a blog every Tuesday called Tasty Tuesdays…so, I decided to steal her idea and do Food Fridays. I love reading her blog on Tuesdays and getting good recipe ideas!! We are both trying to cook healthy, so anyone else who is doing the same, start a recipe blog and we [...]
