Baked Chicken Chimichangas Recipe
Mmm…this is a yummy one. My hubby is a chimichanga connoisseur. He orders them at every Mexican restaurant we visit. I yell at him that he really shouldn’t be eating that deep-fried burrito and then proceed to dig into my totally healthy veggie quesadilla. What? Okay. So it’s got some cheese on it. Okay. A […]

The Blessed Weekend
And it’s Monday. I can’t believe how quickly the weekend goes. I remember backwhen I was a working girl (not THAT kind of working girl…gaw…although I totally would have been a Julia Roberts-typeand not her annoying co-prostitute/roommate, Kit). It seemed the week would creep along at a punishingly slow pace. I would gaze at the […]

On Wednesday I blogged about my 10 year-old blossoming pride and joy, Avery. In case you missed it, you can read up here. Basically, the gist of the story is that she’s growing up. Rapidly.

I derive a great amount of pleasure from beauty products and am highly unapologetic about it. Sort of. […]
Freezing my Petals Off!
I remember growing up as a teeny little Mindy looking soforward to winter.Our cozy home hada lovely wood-burning stove, plenty of hot chocolate and layers of snow clothes stacked up and ready for layering. Fast forward a couple of decades? Our heat pump dries out my hair, hot chocolate has too many calories and layers […]
No More Monsters Under the Bed!
My son is a genius. Not in the “well isn’t he special” kind of way. More in the “I hope he uses his powers for good” kind of way. I envision that he spends his entire day calculating, devising, researching, observing and executing. I present you with Exhibit “A”. The Monster Trap. This particular model […]
Hey Lady! Where’d you go?
You know, when I started this blog forty-hundred years ago I recognized immediately how much I love writing. The subsequent pouring out of blog posts was definitely proof of that. You couldn’t stop me. I was a writing machine. Ideas poured from my soul like lemonade from a pitcher on a sultry summer day. (See? […]
