Pimento Cheese, Not Your Grandma's Spread

Pimento cheese is one of those foods that has been so corrupted by the food industry that it has become synonymous with other crappy foods like Spam.  I'm not even certain what store bought pimento cheese might contain, nor do I want to find out.  It's a shame because pimento cheese can be a delightful treat, even if it does Read the full post…

Plum Good BBQ Sandwiches

In a few days it will officially be fall but the temperatures are still warm enough for me to continue swimming for a few more days.  The breeze was a little cool but that didn't stop me from swimming several laps this morning and I felt great afterwards!  Have you exercised lately?  With fall's cooler temperatures and fewer insects, you Read the full post…

Shingles Vacine and Treatment

Vegetarian Tacos are muy delicioso!

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on February 2, 2010 ]

Crap.  I was aware that I had put on a little holiday fat but today I discovered just how much.  Last week I was listening to Good Morning America while doing those 100 situps and stopped to listen to a piece on “normal weight obesity”.  I’d never heard that term and what I learned on GMA Read the full post…

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on January 12, 2010 ]

Perhaps you’ve had some time to clean out those cabinets and get organized, or maybe not.  I should tell everyone that I didn’t do my whole kitchen in one day, I just tackled one area at a time.  I also want to mention that I didn’t develop all these healthy habits over night.  I used Read the full post…
