Alphebruary Recap

This was WAY harder than I anticipated.  I consider myself semi-OCD when it comes to planning ahead, but this challenge required immense foresight.  When certain things weren’t available at the store, I was forced to adapt quickly.  There were so many times that I got home from work exhausted and had no energy to make anything (let alone make it presentable for the blog).  These are the meals that usually evade the camera.  Unfortunately (slash fortunately), I had a letter schedule to keep this month.  Any other month I would’ve taken the easy route and… Read more >
