(You can listen to an audio version of this post here.) I went to David’s Bridal today to purchase a bridesmaid’s dress for a friend’s wedding next summer. She had a dress already picked out in the system so they pulled her profile up and I followed the very nice saleslady to the racks laden … Continue reading
Did you know that Sonic had fundraisers? I guess in the dark recesses of my mind, I’d tucked that fact away somewhere but when a church friend (SHOUT OUT, RITA!) told me she wanted to organize one for us, I was surprised. Tomorrow, we’ll be at a Sonic in Carrollton from 9-6, stuffing food bags … Continue reading
Decide you want a garden in your backyard. Wait approximately 47 weeks, until your dad sends you a text message telling you that you need to do it now or not at all. Wait two more weeks. Choose a Saturday when you and your husband aren’t cooking dinner for 2 million people. On that Saturday, … Continue reading
You guys, if you knew me before I became a vegetarian last year, you probably would have never believed that I would eat something that contained both red lentils and cauliflower. In fact, I probably would have thrown up ON YOUR FACE if you had even suggested it. But I eat this stuff like it’s … Continue reading
You guys, I have a serious problem. As I sit here writing this, there are four dead plants in my house. And no, I don’t mean in a closet somewhere. I mean I have four dead plants on display in my house. When you come into my breakfast nook, where I have couches instead of … Continue reading
Well, friends- Nothing exciting has happened this year. Check back with us in 2013. Love, Beth and Alex I’M JUST KIDDING. Gosh, you’re just so gullible. Yesterday, our pastor made us turn to our neighbor and talk about how we would define this past year. It only took me about .2 seconds to come up … Continue reading
A friend and I have been reading through 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker. It’s about pulling out of the system; disengaging from this consumeristic, stressed-out, distracted culture. It’s an excellent read and it will make you want to pull your hair out. Anyway, we got to the chapter on waste and … Continue reading
You might find this surprising, but my first adventurous foray into vegetables was at my friend Rebekah’s house. She made me butternut squash soup. I was apprehensive, but when she served it to me in a mug, I was sold. I have a couple of soup recipes that we rotate. I LOVE homemade soups. There’s … Continue reading
(Two recipes for the price of one! Keep reading) I’ve never been a bean eater. Frankly, most of the beans that I’ve consumed in my lifetime taste like mud. So imagine my surprise when my neighbor Sarah shared with me that she had made brownies, substituting the oil and egg with pureed black beans. I … Continue reading
I’ve known Emily since we were in diapers, literally. Our parents were best friends so we grew up together. If I had a second sister, she would be it. I don’t remember cooking with her when we were kids. In fact, the only time I remember consuming anything when she was around was that time … Continue reading
