  • Dear Diary, I’m getting better.

    Posted by marianhd on November 21, 2014

    Life is funny sometimes.  You think you know who you are, what you want, where you’re going.  And then life has a big laugh at your expense and changes everything. Almost two years ago I …

  • MM: SNAPy Lentil and Barley Soup

    Posted by marianhd on February 3, 2014

    Many moons ago, I took a challenge.  I chose to spend a week eating on a SNAP budget (and my husband was forced to participate by default).  We learned a lot that week.  We had to …

  • Eating healthy on the Biggest Loser budget

    Posted by marianhd on January 29, 2013

    Confession time: I love watching the Biggest Loser.  It’s a two hour weekly commitment, but it’s awesome.  The part I love is seeing the transformations in people.  Not the physical changes, but the emotional, internal …

  • I wouldn’t call it procrastination

    Posted by marianhd on December 22, 2012January 27, 2014

    I wouldn’t call it procrastination because I’m in denial about it. I mean really, what else should you do 3 1/2 days before you are moving across 3 states? You should make pumpkin chocolate chip …

  • Hot, Cold, or in the Fridge 3 Days Old?

    Posted by marianhd on December 17, 2012January 27, 2014

    I think I remember my mom cooking split pea soup sometimes.  I remember spinning past the split peas and lentils in the lazy susan cupboard on my way to the chocolate chips.  So if we …

  • A Tale of Three Cookies

    Posted by marianhd on December 11, 2012January 27, 2014

    It’s unfortunate that I started the pantry challenge with nearly two full boxes of butter.  A shame, really.  If you’ve been following the challenge, you know that two sticks of butter were already sacrificed to …

  • How to make seitan from skeletons

    Posted by marianhd on December 5, 2012January 27, 2014

    We all have skeletons in our closets.  And by closets I mean pantries.  And by skeletons I mean forgotten, weird ingredients we bought for one recipe and then shoved out of sight. One of my …

  • These aren’t mom’s pancakes

    Posted by marianhd on December 3, 2012January 27, 2014

    Weekend mornings are made for pancakes!  Growing up, Saturday mornings were the one day of the week that we might have pancakes or cream dried beef on toast.  These were special breakfasts that took longer than …

  • Double Chocolate Mackinac Island Fudge Cookies

    Posted by marianhd on December 1, 2012January 27, 2014

    Husband leaves for business trip–I make cookies!  That seems fair. Part of the deal in cleaning out the pantry is that the chocolate chips, butter, and sugar have to go, too.  Aw, shucks.  There was …
