I have been aware of the Katie Couric produced documentary Fed Up since it was making its marketing rounds upon release (2014?). I didn’t see it in the theaters, but I did make a note of it on my “Things to… Continue Reading
I’ve known today’s guest poster, the most-lovely Reagen Lowrey Lozar, for as long as I’ve known Coralie– as we all met at the same high school in the long-ago world of the late 1990’s. Among many other things, Reagen and I share an interest in… Continue Reading

I am a snacker. I said it. It’s something I’m working on, but left to my own devices, I’ll snack #alldaylong. I try to either limit my snacks or surround myself with better snacking options. Although I love fresh fruit,… Continue Reading
I was born with a severe case of wanderlust. As such, to sate that proclivity and prepare for future adventures, I enjoy watching travel shows. In many a segment, Western tourists are often dismayed or off put by the “primitive”… Continue Reading
This was one of the first posts that I published and it was actually scheduled and published before the blog went live. I did not realize that this post commemorates the first time I ever made this Southwest Beef Taco… Continue Reading

You have heard me talk about my neighbor, Alece. She’s more than my neighbor- she’s a great friend of mine. Our friendship began about 2 years ago when she redesigned my wedding & engagement ring- she’s a very skilled jeweler.… Continue Reading
Party people of the world, I am here to tell you that farm fresh corn is a wonderful thing. Seriously, it is truly delightful. I look forward to fresh corn every summer. I love it grilled, I love it boiled… Continue Reading
As I was walking to get coffee this morning, I noticed a subtle, yet growing pain in my heel. I, then, noted the super-cute (yet, super-cheap) flip-flops I was wearing. D’oh. If you may recall, I wrote a post last summer about the desultory… Continue Reading
The summer vegetables are just rolling in! The CSA boxes arrive around here once a week and thus far have been loaded with zucchini and squash. I have been seeking and pinning recipes with both of these as the main… Continue Reading

Calling all Foodies Y’all. It is that time of year that Bub, Baby Bub and I spend all of our free time in the water- typically on the boat. And. It is that time of year when the sun does… Continue Reading
