Hello!  Thanks everyone for the sweet comments about my bridal shower   Can you believe it’s almost March?!  May 29th (our wedding day) will be here before we know it!  Over the past few days, I have tried a handful of new food products that I wanted to share.  First up is Amy’s Light in [...]

Roasted Okra

Posted on February 17th, 2010, by Kasey

Are you bored with your veggies?  I realized a handful of vegetables (sautéed spinach, roasted asparagus, & steamed sugar snap peas) are in frequent rotation in my house with little variety.  So when I spotted fresh okra at the grocery, I decided to spice things up in my kitchen. Now, I’ve had my fair share [...]

New Orleans has a serious case of Super Bowl Fever!  Many people and children are getting off from work and school the Monday after the game. There are Saints flags, posters, banners, etc., all over the city!  The hospital cafeteria has been playing Saints music all week… including “Get Crunk”!  I even saw the phrase [...]

Hello y’all!  My mini vacation/bachelorette party getaway was a blast this past weekend.  Although we stayed at a casino, I did not gamble once.  I’m just not into it; I think about a shirt/dress/shoes I can buy every time I lose a hand!  Here is a pic of me with the bride-to-be!  We are standing [...]

Spaghetti Squash

Posted on January 29th, 2010, by Kasey

Last night I cooked spaghetti squash for the first time.  I’ve seen many different ways to cook the squash around the blogosphere; some cut it in half and microwave or bake, while others microwave or bake it whole.  I knew it would take some major muscle to cut the squash in half prior to cooking [...]

Cutting Back on Salt

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!  This is my 10th straight day of work at the hospital so I’m obviously looking forward to getting a day off on Friday.  Cory has classes on Monday and Tuesday nights which leaves me cooking for one.  On one of my solo nights this week, I tried Amy’s [...]

Boosting the Immune System

Posted on January 22nd, 2010, by Kasey

After five years of working in a hospital, I have become somewhat of a germaphobe.  I often “take the long way” to get somewhere at work to avoid having to touch doorknobs.  I use my knuckles or a pen (instead of my finger) to press an elevator button.  I go as far to hold my [...]

Trying Something New

Posted on January 20th, 2010, by Kasey

Hello friends!  This week is moving right along; I’ve been so busy that I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday?!  This week has also been filled with some new eats for me.  I was one of the few left in the blogosphere that has not tried kale chips.  I decided to take action and make some [...]

Product Reviews and Some Random Facts

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  My weekend was pretty amazing because the Saints WON!!!  Of course, I’m now nervous for our 2nd playoff game.  Other than football watching, I accomplished a lot of wedding planning for not only my wedding but also my best friend- Claudia’s wedding.  Claud is very indecisive so I helped [...]

A Whole Grain gets a “bad” rep

Posted on January 13th, 2010, by Kasey

My cousin bought me a wedding countdown clock a couple of weeks after Cory and I got engaged.  I remember months ago when the little clock had 345 days till the wedding. Well, I looked yesterday and it said…    136 Days!  Time is flying by but I still have lots of wedding planning to do [...]
