My Life on the Gerbil Wheel

When I was a little girl, we had pet gerbils — Diana and Charles.  As in the princess and prince of Wales.  Was I a child of the 80s or what? Their favorite activity was to spin on the wire wheel that was attached to the side of their cage.  They would run around and [...]

Healthy Creeping Crust Fruit Pie

While I’m focusing on healthier eating, here is a great recipe I got from a friend for fruit cobbler.  It’s pretty, tasty, and healthful.  What more could you ask for?

Menu Plan Monday

I’ve never participated in Menu Plan Monday before, but I realized this morning that I need to plan my menus if I’m going to implement all of Dr. Weil’s assignments this week.  So here it is!  ‘Cause you know I can’t do anything anymore without full documentation on The Blob. I’m supposed to eat fish [...]

Bye-Bye Clutter!

Yall know that I detest clutter, and although my house doesn’t always reflect that claim, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still the truth of the matter. I may be a Flylady Flunkie, but there is one thing that has always stuck with me, and that is to have certain designated clutter-free zones.  Even [...]

8 Weeks To Optimum Health Week Two

I survived complete Week Two.  If you have been under a rock this last week, or in other words, not a regular reader of my blog, I am implementing Dr. Andrew Weil’s 8-week plan for better health.  In case you didn’t already know this, my 5 basic food groups are pizza, coke, doritos, coffee, and [...]

Pride

Such an ugly word.  It’s one of those words that we often apply to others but rarely to ourselves.  Have you noticed that? Our sermon last week was on pride, something I’ve become increasingly convicted of lately.  Actually, the sermon was on the passage from the Beatitudes that says, "Blessed are those who mourn, for [...]

Tips for Eating More Salmon

The other night when I was talking to my next-door neighbor, I mentioned that I was going to be poaching salmon for dinner.  Her response was one I hear a lot.  She would like to cook salmon, but she never buys it because she has no idea what to do with it. I know I [...]
