Lemon Garlic Linguine

I came up with this recipe the other night. It’s light, healthy, fast, and scrumptious. I would have loved to have shown you some pictures of the process, but it was whipped together so fast, there simply was not time to snap a single photo! So here is the finished product. The recipe makes 8...

Favorite Things: May 2011

Thank you all so much for the kind comments on my Success post. I really appreciate them, and am so grateful to be surrounded by a wonderful community who wishes only good things for one another. Truly, thank you. I contemplated titling this post “Favorite Things: Summer” but it’s technically not summer. Unless you’re in...

Success

Thoughts of purpose, success, and how to define my life goals have been filling my mind lately. It could be because many of my waking hours have been spent listening to Oprah and thinking about the legacy I want to leave. It could also be due to the challenging words I heard during a recent...

Old School {take two}

Update in PURPLE! I have been super sick for the past few days. I’m finally feeling a little better thanks to lots of Benadryl and my active lifestyle that has involved ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but TV.  If you need an update on the Style Network, HGTV, Oprah, or Dancing with the Stars: just ask. If you...

Twinsies

I am having an identity crisis and it’s #3‘s fault. We have always looked alike. It used to be more of a “Hey Mom, look at these two pictures of us when we were 4 and tell us who is who!” Mom would inevitably get it wrong and we would all giggle over how much...

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Last week I wanted to make breakfast for dinner. So I did. It was good. Great, actually. First I thought about making Ruth Reichl’s pancakes out of the Gourmet cookbook, and then I entered the recipe into MyFoodDiary to figure out the calories and promptly changed my mind. Ms. Reichl, you are an excellent writer,...

A Week of Breakfast

This is a segment called What Kristin Had for Breakfast. Welcome. Sometimes I think it’s helpful to see what other people eat, especially if you are trying to focus on health and moderation. Oh, and especially if you’re trying to shed some of that “winter layer” that has somehow managed to stay on you for...

Brownie Winner(s)!

Congratulations BRIAN PRUE, you are the winner of the random brownie drawing… and have therefore determined what #3 will be wearing in our next photo shoot: “I would like to see Kimberly’s view on fashion in 2035!” I will be sure to post those photos without her knowledge, as well. Aaaand, since I had so...

Because I Can…

One of the nice things about having a blog is that you decide what gets published. You make the call about whether or not blackmail-esque pictures of your sister, for example, should be posted for the world to see. Does anyone need their make-up done for a special occasion? I am sure Kimberly would make...
