Here’s the thing about working on meal plans when you didn’t get home until after 4 the night before - you really don’t care too much about variety in your meal plan, you just want to get it over and done with as soon as possible so you can go back to bed. Thank goodness these late nights aren’t regular occurrences.

Monsters, ghosts, possessions, demons, slashers… These things terrify me!

There was a time when I couldn’t deal with horror movies. In fact, it wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I finally was able to watch them without it resulting in nightmares. For goodness sake, I couldn’t even watch the Scream movies when they were first out without losing ( Read more... )

Here’s the thing though, I don’t ( Read more... )

Growing up, I lived in a household with a very quirky eater - my father. I wouldn’t call it picky, per se. Just quirky. For example, while he loved a lot of pasta dishes, if it included elbow noodles, he wouldn’t touch it. Substitute any other kind of noodle, and we’re good to go.

We were limited by what he would eat, and so ended up eating the ( Read more... )
