My Men Eat This Quiche

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Coco

This easy healthy quiche recipe is one of my favorite tried-and-true meals. We usually have it for dinner one night, and then I enjoy the leftovers for breakfast or lunch. 

Easy Quiche Recipe

This recipe is easy, healthy, delicious, and satisfying. It’s also versatile, and can be prepared with a variety of fillings depending on your tastes, your mood, or what’s in your refrigerator. (I made this one with chopped baby spinach and diced onion.) It makes four full servings or six servings if paired with a side dish or salad.

I Sold My (Grocery Store) Soul For One Dollar

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Coco

I usually am so good about ignoring “sale” prices on junk food. I basically stopped clipping coupons because I realized that I was mostly using them to buy processed foods that I don’t really want to be eating anyway. When the grocery store aisles are crowded with sale displays for chips and cookies, I usually shake my head and squeeze by, but last week I succumbed to crap that was on sale for $1–$1!

The first item I blame on my husband. When I asked him if there’s anything in particular he wanted me to fix for dinner, he asked for this by name.

Manwich

The second one I blame on the combination of (i) a sale on Laura’ Lean ground beef and (ii) being desperate for recipe ideas besides taco salad and Manwiches.

 Hamburger Helper

For the third one, I have no one to blame but myself.

Hello Panda Cookies

Were there supposed to be two servings in that box?

Are you tempted by sale prices on junk food?

Do you clip coupons?

Update On My Empty Nest

Posted on September 17, 2012 by Coco

Well, it’s been one month since we dropped our son off at college, and I am pretty proud of how I’ve handled our newly empty nest so far.

I’ve remembered to feed his frogs twice a week (more or less).

I haven’t turned his bedroom into a craft room,
but I am tempted to use his desk–and comfy chair–when I work at home.


On the other hand, I have started using his (smaller) bathtub for my ice baths.
 

And, even after our great staycation, my husband and I have not run out of fun things to do.

Did you do something fun this weekend?

Supernal Sunday

(View from my mother-in-law’s deck, September 14, 2012–she took the picture)

Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
~ Psalm 90
