I’m craving beans. Perhaps I’m needing some protein? Perhaps its because my plumbing is a little, ahem, sloooooooow after all of our travels? Whatever the reason, I’m ALL ABOUT beans! The other day, I picked up Kathy Freston’s new book Lean: A Revolutionary and simple 30-day plan for healthy, lasting weight loss. Boy, oh boy, am… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Bean Salad

Friday's Fixin's: The Sauce (Again)
No less than 5 times last week, I told people about one of my all-time favorite recipes: The Sauce. We have it on Sundays and call it “Sunday Sauce.” I wrote about it last year and feel compelled to share it again (Silver Lining, I hope!). A friend (who quickly became a bestie after telling… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: The Sauce (Again)
Friday's Fixin's: Paleo Bread
The Paleo diet is quite the rage right now. I’m not a try-every-diet kind of girl, but this sounds a lot like the way I eat anyway (with the exception of meats, which I am not going to add to my diet). According to The Paleo Diet website, this diet mimics the types of foods… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Paleo Bread

Friday's Fixin's: Dandelions!
Recently, I had the great, Silver Lined experience to attend an Italian cooking class led by Chef Jane Biscarini. As an aside, I simply looooove Italian food! There is somethin’ somethin’ about it (and the Italian people by the way) that just makes my heart so happy. At this particular class, we made sautéed dandelions. Never… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Dandelions!
Friday's Fixin's: Mushroom Soup
After my surgery last year, I went into this never-before-experienced place where unless someone nudged me, I literally forgot to eat. Never even entered my mind. Until then, I never believed all of those skinny girls who would say (in high pitched voices): “I forgot to eat!” Yeah, right, WTF? Who “forgets” to eat? I… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Mushroom Soup

Herbal Aloe Juice: The Ultimate Plumber
One of the particularly unsavory side effects of my experience with FBC was/is digestive plumbing issues (that is the most ladylike way I could come up with to say constipation!). Gross, I know. But, hey, you all know by now that I’m definitely not the girl who shy’s away from reality (though I admit to… Continue reading Herbal Aloe Juice: The Ultimate Plumber
