No More Nasty Eggs (Or how to properly boil an egg)

Rachel — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:22:17 +0000

I didn't think to take a picture til I was partway through visciously devouring it. I'd have taken more delicate bites otherwise. Maybe. Hey, it was good and I was hungry!

You love ‘em or you hate ‘em: hard boiled eggs. I love ‘em. BUT I only love them when they’re made properly. I detest when .....

I am not a Paula Deen fan.

Rachel — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:41:41 +0000

Insert butter here.

I have never been a fan of Paula Deen. I have seen her show more times than I’d even like to admit, as I am a food network addict that is occasionally too lazy to change the channel if I am busy doing something else. I’ve always found her accent a bit grating .....

My mom and I went on a little trip last week. We went to southern California to visit my grandpa and his wife. They will be moving to Peru by March (that’s where she’s from) and building a hotel there so .....

New Year Resolution: save lives

Rachel — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:14:09 +0000

Another year, gone. Another year in which I didn’t die! That pretty much checks off all my 2011 resolutions.

Ha! Ok, I aimed slightly higher than just surviving the year. I did pretty well actually.

I’ve made a few resolutions for 2012, some of them are very personal and some of them are just boring so I’m not .....

Lame Housewife Confessions

Rachel — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:26:38 +0000

I don’t have many guilty pleasures. Mostly because I don’t like to feel guilty about stuff.

This is my one exception.

Guilt: At my grocery store, they’re $9 a box. (Here is a $1 off coupon though!) (And they’re only $8 a box when you order on the site.)

Pleasure: OMG SMELLGASM.

I only use them on my laundry and .....

Chicken Bacon Swirls

Rachel — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 02:05:37 +0000

I just created this tonight but it was so good that I had to run here and tell you all about it. Even Keegan, The World’s Pickiest Eater, ate all of his and asked me to make it again tomorrow. YEAH. I know. I almost fainted.

These would make a great .....

Vacation wrap-up

Rachel — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 04:28:24 +0000

I’ve got an iPhone 4S now and I have to say, I absolutely adore it. The camera especially, it takes fantastic pictures. I think it will really increase the amount of food blogging I do here, which is awesome. I am loving everything about the phone except for autocorrect. I told a friend in a text .....

Tortellini Turkey Veggie Soup

Rachel — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:55:55 +0000

This was a spin on a soup that my granny makes. She calls hers Hamburger Soup, it’s just a combination of ground beef, various veggies, potatoes, and seasoning. It’s quick, delicious, hot, and filling- a great comfort food. I decided to give it my own spin today. So basically, you could put whatever you want to .....

Getting back on track

Rachel — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:58:45 +0000

Since starting school and starting birth control pills in July, I have gained right around ten pounds. I think it may have been more like fifteen at once (aww, I gained my Freshman Fifteen… at age 30…) but I’ve lost about five of those. I really think it’s more the pill than the school… while I .....

Hailey's favorite ride. We got to go on it!.... twice! Goodbye, half hour of my life. Let's all sing it: 'It's a small world after all....."

My stress level has been at about eleventy billion lately. That’s my excuse for not posting the pictures from Disneyland til now, even though we’ve been back for .....
