Looking Back on 2009

Happy New Year’s Eve!! I am once again shocked by the fact that another year is almost over. Do you have any big plans tonight? We are going to be low-key and hang out hoping to make it to midnight! haha! Last year we made it until 11:00p.m which was midnight in NYC. So we [...]

Fun Foodie Facts

A Southern Meal with a TWIST….

So last night for dinner we had my pineapple meatloaf topped with BBQ sauce! (So yum) and instead of meatloaf and mashed potatoes (gotta love that southern food) we did Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes! They were very good and everyone liked…even my meat and potatoes husband went back for seconds! But here’s the bummer…can you believe I [...]

Happy Tuesday

We did watch Inglorious Basterds last night…it was really good! Great Movie! This morning after my 7 miler (8:05 minute mile [...]
