Cooking With Cast Iron

I recently made the decision to start consulting with Pampered Chef. I choose to do this because it was a great way to earn a little extra income, which goes into our savings account for when we move back to Washington.

Oh, the places I’d like to go…

I have a wondering heart. I never feel just right. I want to be on the move seeking life and finding new adventures daily. I'm looking for an obvious answer but I don't think there is one. Wouldn't it be nice if I could live abroad or travel a lot for work?  I'm ready for …

Things Are Looking Up

Well David's new waiter job has proved to be a bit of a waiting game. In order to save money for parking we have been car pooling. He usually gets off later then I do which means I'm stuck hanging out at the restaurant for a couple hours. Tricky business, but the free food has …

Positive Changes

I've been talking a lot about making changes in my life. Doing something different and being more proactive about finding the joy in my life.  The first change I have been making is related to food. I heard from a friend, who read somewhere about a woman who cut out one food item per week …
