The menu for my family’s Thanksgiving meal is essentially set in stone. I've been cooking the same roasted turkey along with the traditional side dishes for as long as I’ve been married! Okay, maybe not that long, but it's been long enough. So you can understand that occasionally, I want to branch out and try to add something new to our Thanksgiving meal. My attempts to introduce new dishes have mostly been met with a lukewarm response. However, this time, I’m confident that the new addition ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #563
It's two weeks before Thanksgiving, aka the most calorie-laden meal of the year in my household! This is my family’s most anticipated meal. Right now, I'm trying to lose weight so I can put it back on Thanksgiving, haha. I don’t follow a specific diet; I just watch my carb intake. I find it's the easiest way to shed a couple of pounds. These days, I mostly opt for lean proteins and vegetables to fuel my body. I avoid sugary foods and limit bread, pasta, and rice. Of course, it’s easier said ... continue reading...

It's been unusually warm this week, it went up into the 80s on Wednesday. It's also been very dry; I don’t think it has rained in over a month, and when it did, it was only a drizzle.

It’s quite a workout! So lunch is a simple affair. I find guacamole toasts to be the easiest and most ... continue reading...

Did you all have a great Halloween? I hope you did! Mine was busy, but it wasn't too bad, considering. My husband was sick, so I had to manage Skye and dole out candy by myself. Luckily, Skye was relatively calm, and there weren't too many trick-or-treaters this year— I’m guessing around 50, which is pretty low for our development of 300+ houses. Dinner wasn’t too bad, either. Instead of opting for the usual pizza delivery, I decided to serve the contents of my fridge 😂 It wasn’t dinner, ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #560
Halloween is just a week away, and I have yet to shop for treats and finalize the decorations. Alas, all of that will have to wait, as I'm heading out of town for what I hope will be a relaxing 3-day weekend. We'll see if I can actually unwind while I'm away from home. I'm hoping to try out new restaurants this time instead of sticking to our usual spots. However my husband is already insisting that his perennial favorite Katz's Deli is a must-stop. In response, I countered that we might as ... continue reading...
