Well February has just about come and gone, and with it my plans to review eight recipes from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook. I didn’t quite make all of them this go-around, but I gave it a good shot! Hopefully we’ll do a bit better next go around. The good news is that I did [...]
So the first time I made this recipe, I didn’t get to eat it. About 5 minutes into its sojourn in the oven, our power went out. And stayed out for 3 hours. I could have just pulled it out and stuck it back in the fridge maybe, except that I was so distracted by [...]
As a fun little project for this week (shoved into the later hours of Monday night!) I made some bottle cap magnets. They were super simple and had great results. Earlier in the day, I’d picked a few photos and cropped them into 1″ circles and put them all on a 4×6″ image and then [...]
We spent the weekend with some of our Nashville Family. They came to town to enjoy some CO winter fun and to show off the latest addition to the family, our darling niece, Autumn. We got going after work on Thursday and made the short trek to Vail. On the way we stopped at Silverthorne [...]
A few weeks ago we had a crazy blizzard that duped 4 feet of snow in parts of the state. We’ve had some nice weather since then, so it had mostly melted. And yesterday, it got up in the mid to high 50s and we got WIND. Not a little wind. Like Your Little Dog [...]
As I indicated, we’ve tried a couple more recipes from The Biggest Loser cookbook over the past weeks. Last week, when Matt was gone, I tried the Mini Broccoli Cheddar Fritattas (above). This is another recipe that goes in the “barely a recipe” category. You steam some broccoli, chop it, toss it in greased muffin [...]
As usual, it’s our own version of semi-organized chaos over here. Just a sampling of what we’ve been up to: We’re busily planning our summer camping trips. Sites book up FAST. We’ve already got two trips planned, one to Sand Dunes in May and one to Rocky Mountain National Park in June. Add to that [...]
Since we got the new fridge, I’ve been trying to keep it nice and neat and use it for organizing our household. I got a slick Martha Stewart stick-on white-board style weekly calendar to put our schedule and menu on. Looks nice, but the dry-erase markers I’ve got were always going missing, along with my [...]
Remember the time when my wedding ring flew off and went up underneath our kitchen cabinets behind the baseboard? Yea, that was fun. Well it went on another adventure last week. Only this time it had help. See last week, I was taking a shower and the kids were hanging around playing. Just as I [...]
Matt is a Chicken Parmesan connoisseur. It is his litmus test for any Italian restaurant. So I was a bit nervous to make this no-breading chicken parmesan from Biggest Loser. Though we all agreed there is a special place in our hearts for the yummy breaded variety of chicken parm, this was an excellent option [...]
My name is Jess. I'm a 30ish wife and working mommy. I love spending time with my family and friends, crafting up weird and beautiful things, cooking delicious food and running lots of miles to work it off. I love chocolate, wine, Photoshop, my Nikon and sleeping in. I do freelance design work for fun and marginal profit at JKN Designs. This is my blog. Read more »
