Personal Faves

I am a little starstruck that Diary of a New Mom author, Abby/ Mom2Miles, asked me to participate in this blog-chain-mail thing.  I was so excited to see Personal Faves on her post that I forwarded it to my  husband and called my mom.  You guys know how much I enjoy reading Diary of a [...]

Going back to work after an almost seven month maternity leave sucked.  [My husband is probably thinking, "Here we go again!"]  Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this care for a child, manage the house, cook, bake, and play dates thing, I was thrust back into the working world.  Yuck!  Don’t [...]

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 [...]

Brussel Sprouts.  Yuck, right?  Bzzzzz…WRONG ANSWER.  These miniature-cabbage-like bundles of bliss are one of Sarah’s and my new favorite veggies.  Something about the layers of these normally quite bland tasting little delights really works with more rich foods like, say bacon (mmmm, bacon).  They’re also super healthy (a good thing, especially when your flavor is [...]

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 [...]
