With less than 2 weeks left before Christmas, I haven't even started shopping for my list even though it's pretty short. As my kids, nephews, and nieces have grown up over the years, my Christmas list has become shorter. Unfortunately, it hasn’t made shopping for them any easier. But I shouldn't stress over it, right?! Didn't someone once say It’s the thought that counts? Who is this wise person? I’d like to thank them. Besides, they all just want gift cards nowadays, don't they?! Maybe ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #566
It was a stew-y kind of day yesterday! The cold and dreary weather called for something hot, like the Chili con Carne above. Considering the amount of vegetables I added, though, I could just as well call it Chili con Vegetales. It was excellent served with what my husband calls "the goodie-goodie rice", which is really just an equal mix of brown, white, and cauliflower rice. This is my way of ensuring that my family and I get plenty of vegetables. By blending them with a little bit of meat ... continue reading...

Happy Friday, friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I have no complaints about mine; it was quite nice. I didn't overdo it this time (in other words, I didn't cook too much).

While it wasn’t bad, I’m not sure I will make it again. It was a little too salty for my liking. The highlight of the meal was this ... continue reading...

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...
