I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately. Overwhelmed in a good way, with many fun and rewarding opportunities coming my way, but stressed nonetheless. Even though I am not the most organized person (I think I just heard my husband snort at that)…ok, I am the owner of multiple piles in our house…anyways, too much disorganization sends my stress level into overdrive. Thankfully yesterday was Sunday, the perfect day to…
Bidding is now closed! Thank you to April who was the winning bidder with $275. Thank you too all who participated! I’m pretty sure I had never visited Jennifer Perillo’s blog before August 8th. I had been following her on Twitter for a while, but hadn’t yet made it over to read her food writing. The morning of August 8th however, I read a chilling tweet from her feed…
Last weekend was a busy one. We had friends visiting, lots of swimming, and a few meals eaten away from home. While I was careful to specify my diet restrictions to the restaurant staff, I still managed to get sick. I ended up with a bloated tummy, fatigue and other symptoms that I had managed to keep away for the first two weeks of my celiac adventure. Last night I…

One of the first things that people ask me when I first tell them that I’ve been diagnosed with Celiac Disease is, “So that means you can’t have any bread, right?” While it’s true that I can’t have any wheat bread, that doesn’t mean that I have to give up bread forever. After picking up a few loaves of gluten-free bread at the grocery store (and quickly putting them back…
I’ve never been a big sandwich person. Not that I don’t enjoy a good sandwich, but I don’t want to eat one every day. And salads are great, but they can get old after a while too. Every once in a while, I just want a good snack plate for lunch. Fresh veggies, fresh fruit, a little cheese, some nuts and crackers, and I’m good to go. I like to…
Remember how I got a fancy camera last month? Well, I have been having so much fun learning how to use it. There is a LOT to learn, and I have barely scratched the surface of photography education. One thing that I have been excited to start using is Photoshop. I finally downloaded it yesterday, and was instantly overwhelmed with the complexity of the program. Thankfully, there are many tutorials…
