Blueberry Cream Cheese Pancakes

March 21, 2019 by Tanya // 3 Comments

As promised, here are Chrissy Teigen’s Blueberry Cream Cheese Pancakes from her latest cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More. These bad girls (or boys or gender neutral pancakes) caught my eye right away because carbs, my almost unnatural love of breakfast, and carbs. Oh. Did I mention carbs already? Oh well.

February Bookshelf: 3 Books Down

March 11, 2019 by Tanya // 54 Comments

Oh, look at me. Reading three books last month. That’s right. I read three books, which is one more than the previous month. I. Am. On. Fire. Not literally, of course. I paid attention in elementary school and know to stop, drop and roll versus blog while burning. Sadly, I think some would continue blogging until burnt to a crisp.

Crockpot Irish Beef Stew

March 7, 2019 by Tanya // 6 Comments

I am not Irish. Obviously. But growing up, I did not understand kids who were IRISH and NOT wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day were pinch-able. Everyone was fair game where I lived. And I’d get pinched for not wearing green because I wasn’t a fan of green. Again, not Irish. Obviously. But I didn’t know to speak up. It’s also possible I told kids that I was Irish, not because I was in denial about my ethnicity, but my Dad has some luck of the Irish in him. But me, not so much. Damn you pinchers!

What’s going on? What’s going on? Eh, not that much but honestly I had no other topic in mind and really wanted to post today so …. awkward … this seemed like the best choice to post something today. Seriously, though, I have no excuse for my lack of writing and want to stop being such an absentee blogger. Just been lazy, that’s all.

January Bookshelf: 2 Books, Baby!

February 11, 2019 by Tanya // 47 Comments

So okay, I read something. Yay me. And it took effort, real effort, to do so. I mean I enjoyed what I read. And I wanted to read what I read but … I’m still not feeling the reading love … yet. It’s there; I can feel the love lurking inside me, like a dormant pimple. One you want to appear so you can pop it (yup, I’m a pimple popper and know it’s wrong and gross and I have no idea why I’m sharing this with y’all) but won’t come until you gotta show your face somewhere more important than the grocery store. How I went from reading to pimple popping, I don’t know but I might be a writing genius.

An Old Coot Rants about Getting Old(ish)

January 28, 2019 by Tanya // 10 Comments

Getting old is inevitable. Everyone gets old or …. hate to break this to ya, you’re dead or maybe Benjamin Button. But we all age. Sometimes gracefully. And sometimes less so. It’s been less so for me lately, which makes me feel like an old coot. And you know what old coots do: they rant. And they get to … cuz they old, yo. It’s one of the perks.
