Logan Was Made to Do Dishes

By On October 2, 2010 · 1 Comment

At least that’s my assumption, given the fact that he told me he wasn’t made to cook. Specifically, he said “I’m not made to cook. I’m made to eat.” The two of us had dinner this week. It normally happens at least once a week – someone’s got to eat my leftovers. Plus [...]

Every Girl Should Have A Girlfriend

By On July 20, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Before you think I’m talking about a “novia,” let me make things clear. I’m talking about an “amiga.” Sometimes Spanish is so much more convenient than English, at least when it comes to defining relationships. For those of you who aren’t Spanish speakers (hey, it’s okay Mom), “novia” means “girlfriend.” Like a romantical [...]

Just Call Me Cinderella

By On May 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment

You know how Cinderella turned into a pumpkin after midnight? You might not remember the story going that way, but that’s how we always told it at our house. Last night, I avoided the whole pumpkin stage and turned into a cheese ball. Well, cheese ROLL would probably be more accurate. Actually, the [...]

Logan and Alisha

By On March 25, 2010 · 3 Comments

Every so often, my brothers and sisters make me laugh. Well, it’s more like “often” instead of “every so often.” You could also say “frequently.” If you’re looking for more words, use the thesaurus.

Anyway, I was in the kitchen this week listening to Logan talking on the phone to Alisha. [...]

Ok, I Admit It

By On November 22, 2009 · 1 Comment

I might miss the city more than I thought. If you look at how much I am driving lately, I miss it a ton. I’m about an hour and a half away from Kansas City – one way. That hasn’t stopped me from making the drive at least once a week, normally twice. Sometimes three [...]

I Like To Eat

By On November 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Therefore, I like to exercise.

I love food, but when you are only 4’10″, your calorie intake is kind of limited. (For some reason, when you are small, your body doesn’t need quite as many calories to run as someone who is tall.) I made peace with my height a long time ago.  After all, [...]

At Least The Cupcakes Were Good

By On October 27, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I watched the BYU-TCU football game this past weekend. For a BYU fan, that was a pretty brutal game. I don’t even want to think about it. The one part I did like came in the form of festive cupcakes – I made white cupcakes filled with white chocolate mousse, topped with vanilla [...]

I Love Fresh Eggs

By On October 26, 2009 · 2 Comments

My family has chickens. I think they have about 40. I’m not sure. I never feed them – that’s my brothers’ job. Which is fine with me. Chickens sort of stink, after all. But one thing I do love about having chickens close – the eggs. Beautiful fresh wonderful eggs. They are so fantastic. The [...]

10 Things You Can Make On a Stovetop

By On October 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

So my oven doesn’t work.  It hasn’t worked for over two months. But the stove does – so I’ve been making a lot of things on top of the stove rather than inside the oven. I’m getting a new unit – a stove AND oven that BOTH work (it will feel like Christmas, trust me) [...]

Breakfast is Served

By On October 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment

There’s a little country store called Trails End near my parents’ place. It’s kind of like the country access point for all things organic and vegan. The owner, Kim Manning, runs a great shop with lots of different things – it’s almost like the dry section of Whole Foods. (She doesn’t carry produce, [...]
