Personal Faves

I’ve got a load of laundry in the washer, the baby is napping, the kitchen is clean and I’m inspired to write this personal fave because I just had it for lunch!!  (and dinner last night)  I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my two weeks of holiday vacation although I haven’t been super inspired to cook.  After [...]

Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, and Happy New Year!  I am beat, stuffed, and happy… the sign of a good holiday.  David did really well in the gift-giving department this year so maybe in the next couple weeks I’ll be blogging about my newest personal faves.  For now, I want to thank my friend Caitlin for [...]

One of the best things about entering the world of blogging is, well, other people’s blogs!  I never really knew this community existed before I started Personal Faves.  Sure, I would browse Perez Hilton’s site from time to time but that was the extent of my adventures in blogging.  While I’ve been slacking on my [...]

So it’s getting cold = bummer.  Hot tasty casserole that’s quick and easy when it’s cold = personal fave.  This turkey noodle casserole recipe is taken from Cooking Light: Light and Easy (same cookbook that produced the really tasty pepper and feta pizza I posted awhile back.) Prep time: 15 minutes                         Cook time: 42 minutes [...]

A big apology to my loyal readers (all 5 of you ) It has been TOO long since my last post.  For those of you who don’t know me I just returned to work after 7 months of maternity leave.  Boy was that a rude awakening!!  My personal fave these days has been sitting on [...]

If you read my posts often, you know I have a tiny obsession with celebrities.  OK, maybe more than tiny but don’t worry… you won’t read about me trespassing anytime soon or anything.  Well, I read that Gwenyth Paltrow was loving this woman Tracy Anderson’s work-outs.  I love Gwenyth Paltrow, so naturally I was intrigued.  [...]

A big thank you to Libby for being an awesome guest poster!  I hope she is having fun with it and will continue to post whenever she finds a new fave.  I have been really busy getting back into the swing of things at work but am using up some of my last shreds of [...]

I always say that if I’m ever really rich I want a personal hair stylist and makeup artist.  They can even exist in one person; I’m not picky.    My hair just hardly ever looks like it does when I leave the salon. That is… until Pureology.  The whole line just gives fab hair.  My [...]

Thanks for this personal fave go to Maggie, a classmate at the University of Chicago, who first introduced me to Mario’s.  When she found out I lived in University Village she exclaimed, “You can walk to Mario’s!!”  I had no idea what that was but am very grateful that she introduced me to this Personal [...]

At first I hated the Bjorn.  I never was a small-chested woman and when I first started nursing, hello.  So I was like “Why would I ever use something that squeezes the girls?”  David used the Bjorn weekly at least and the little guy loved it.  I figured it was good for dads.  Then I [...]
