Cluck Cluck Yuck!

So before I had my eating epiphany, I really WAS trying to make an effort to eat more at home, and not just Lean Cuisine frozen meals. Hey, laugh all you want – as a single chick, Lean Cuisines are pretty awesome and convenient. When they were on sale for $2 each, I would leave…

Recipe: Lamb Stew aka Animal Sacrifice #3

I am on a rampage – if you are a vegetarian or animal lover, you may want to click away from this blog. Ever since getting a pressure cooker, I have decided to cook a new animal in it every week. So far I’ve made cow, veggies* and pig. *Veggies are totally an animal. Especially…

Turkey Week!

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I loved having all our family descend onto our house, and it seemed that first snow always fell that day.
