Mega (obnoxious) Monday

Oh my goodness, it’s only the DAY after Christmas and I’m already feeling completely bombarded with weight loss programs and get-in-shape tips for the new year.  The morning news is ridiculous.  Goals for January.  Jenny Craig ads.  Low fat leftover recipes.  Help!! Dear 2012, I will greet you in January with open arms, until then leave me alone. Sincerely, Elise I’m not trying to sound like a scrooge…I (usually) love bringing health & fitness to the forefront of any discussion.  And yet I cannot stand to hear about resolutions to run a marathon and eat… Read more >

Merry Merry

Friends and good cheer

I got to go to dinner with my besties, Ethel and Jess last night.  I miss vacation, but there’s nothing better than spending the holidays with your family and friends.  Sure, it’s sort of sad to spend Christmas at the hospital, but I don’t mind it if I get to see my loved ones too.  And now for some recipe teasers…         Do I even have to tell you how awesome these nut butters are?   Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Who was Betsy?

There are certain phrases I find myself saying lately that make me sound like I’m 100 years old.  Or living on a farm in the 1940’s.  I don’t know how I suddenly aged 70 years but it’s kinda odd.  They aren’t even phrases that my parents said, so I have no excuse. Anyone know where the phrase “Heavens to Betsy!” comes from?  It’s pretty random when you think about it. I digress… The oats-in-a-jar trend never really caught on in the HHH household.  But I’m frugal by nature and would never dream of letting these… Read more >
