Dynamic Duos

Posted on February 2nd, 2010, by Kasey

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

Posted on January 27th, 2010, by Kasey

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 [...]

Super Bowl Bound

Posted on January 25th, 2010, by Kasey

My Saints are headed to the Super Bowl!!!  What a game?!  We barbequed and watched the game at our friends Todd and Lori’s house.  As soon as we won in overtime, fireworks started going off all around the city.  People were literally dancing in the streets on our way home.  A few of my friends [...]

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 [...]

Taco Night with a Twist

Posted on January 15th, 2010, by Kasey

Thanks for all the well wishes for Cory and I’s upcoming wedding!  Y’all are too sweet
Speaking of Cory… Cory LOVES our Taco Thursdays.  He actually reminds me about it each week to make sure that I plan on cooking the tacos just in case I forgot.  Last night, instead of using extra lean [...]

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 (with the [...]

Weekend of Hibernation

Posted on January 11th, 2010, by Kasey

Thanks to everyone for sharing your stress management tips!  I definitely took some of your advice and had a relaxing (yet productive) weekend.  New Orleans was soooo cold this past weekend in the 20s and 30s.  It was the first time I took out my slippers all winter…
 
Although I literally did not leave the condo, [...]
