Donut French Toast

October 31, 2013

Do you ever have one of those mornings where something fun to make just comes to mind?  That was Saturday for me, I woke up and immediately thought Donut French Toast.  We happened to have a bunch of leftover donuts from the day before when it was my turn to bring them to work. While I'm fine with leftover donuts, I knew they'd just go to waste... hence the stale donut still sitting in...

The Secret Language | What's Your Secret Language Name?

October 30, 2013

Growing up I always loved to pull out the news paper and see what the day's horoscope was for Pisces, that's my sign. Don't think I'm about to go all weird on you, I didn't believe in the stuff, it was just fun to look at everyone's horoscope every day. In college I read this book about how certain birthdays matched well with other's for relationships, I didn't pull it out to decide if I should date...

My Grandmother's Scones with Devon Cream

October 29, 2013

Like many of the recipes hidden away in the envelopes I managed to inherit under the condition I complete the recipe book... I have no memory of this one. Although my memory lacks in this area, I'm sure she made them many times considering the page it was typed on (literally typed on) is worn, yellowing, and starting to form holes in the center of the creases. This reminds me of traditional...

Week in Review

October 25, 2013

This week had a lot going on, I thought I'd get more photos edited from Type-A Nola... but we'll get to that later. Right now, let's talk about what's been going on since last Friday. In no particular order, here's what we've been up to. 1. I don't know where this sucker has been all my life, but honestly a banana flavored Tootsie Roll Pop is heaven! I could have taken every single one...

Everything but the Jack-O-Lantern Cookies

October 24, 2013

As a teacher I tend to hoard candy. Right now I have a snickers waiting for a rainy day in my top desk drawer. Sometime the only thing you need in life is a comforting piece of chocolate to help you survive the day. In this particular instance I found my self with handfuls of chocolate in my bag from the Type-A Nola Bootcamp. On the way home the car that night I started hoarding the candy from...

We Just Click {Helzberg Diamonds Giveaway}

October 23, 2013

If you could capture your relationship in three images what would they be?  It actually took me a little while to answer my own question, I dug through the backed up photo log that is this blog, search Facebook, and looked all over my computer. It's hard to describe yourself in images when your husband hides from the camera.  I often joke about how we started dating, I actually did...

My Grandmother's Recipes | Texas Hash (Paleo)

October 22, 2013

Like most of the recipes in my Nanny's stash, I had to argue with her as I was searching for this particular one. Why was I arguing? Well once again it wasn't where it should go. Technically this is a casserole, the way I made it, it isn't. However, it's a casserole none the less. Where was it? Oh just hanging out in Miscellaneous. The one envelope of recipes that I could easily categorize....

31 Days of Frugal Paleo | Paleo Coffee Creamer

October 20, 2013

I first made a version of this last year when I did my first Whole 30, this past week when I decided I needed to kick my sugar addiction I made it again. The only difference, I used dates to sweeten it. So this time I thew in dates. It's not nearly as yummy as a Cafe au Lait, but it's Whole 30 approved good. Speaking of Whole 30, there was no way in the world I would have been able to stick...

31 Days of Frugal Paleo | Banana Pecan Ice Cream Pie

October 19, 2013

Today's recipe is not only a favorite, it was also my birthday cake this year. It's easy, cheap to make, and I swear I really want a piece right now. Between this recipe and the Paleo Pumpkin Pie, it's all the dessert I'd ever need. The one thing I do like is that if you don't have a Yonana maker this is also easily made in the food processor. I won't lie though, I did buy myself a Yonana...

High Five I'm Headed to My First Blog Conference Friday

October 18, 2013

Excited is the understatement of the year for me. Jeremy on the other hand just can't wait to sit at a coffee shop all day doing homework while I'm at Type-A Advanced on Friday night and Saturday. Oh this week, at least work has become easier since my Tuesday afternoon WalMart meltdown. 1. We hit up the Gumbo Festival Saturday and Jeremy decided on Gumbo Pizza. It was good, I'm not much of a...

31 Days of Frugal Paleo | Balsamic Chicken & Sausage

October 17, 2013

Aww, another day of clean eating. I'm finishing day 3 of a Whole30 and I must say I'm happier today than I was yesterday. Yesterday was apparently emotional breakdown day. Obviously my sugar addiction is getting the best of me when two days without coffee and I'm in the WalMart parking lot crying my eyes out. Once I cleared my eyes I marched into the store, bought some dates and coconut milk and...

31 Days of Frugal Paleo | Chicken Fingers with Cauliflower Poppers

October 16, 2013

Sometimes I just need to be honest, like right now, this is going to be real honest.  Teaching is sucking the life out of me right now.  With Compass looming over ever teacher in the state's heads, heightened behavior problems due to where I'm at now, and just being at the defeated part of hitting the 5 year mark.... I'm mentally done.  I don't talk about my job much on here...

My Grandmother's Recipes | South of the Border Grits

October 15, 2013

So far the past two recipes have been things my mother doesn't eat.  For someone raised by my grandmother, she doesn't eat biscuits, grits, cornbread, and I'm sure there is another food item I'm forgetting.  I happen to love grits.  Every memory of staying at the camp as a kid involved sausage, eggs, grits, and biscuits. It also involves a very vivid memory of the woman...

Style with a Vision :: Is Your Vision Insured?

October 14, 2013

Four years ago, after noticing my eyesight wasn't what it use to be, I broke down and got glasses. I'm a huge chicken when it comes to eye doctors, so you know I was blind as a bat when I finally went through with it. From the beginning of my first year teaching, to the end of the year my vision completely blurred as far as distance goes. From August to May I went from being able to read the board...
