I am a carb lover. PERIOD. My love affair with carbs began … as soon as I started eating solid food? 😀 It’s delicious and addictive. And it was my chosen birthday meal this year in large part because pasta will become an occasional meal as part of my get healthy plan. It won’t be eliminated but more of a special occasion treat – like my b-day!

It’s Father’s Day, which means I’m posting a recipe in honor of my Dad today. My Dad loves dessert, so I should’ve made him a dessert, right? The answer is yes. But I didn’t because I’m avoiding desserts. If my Dad was here, he’d get a homemade dessert for Father’s Day but he’s not, so I’m making something that makes me think of him. And that’s ground beef, yo.

Every Mother’s Day I like to make a special treat to honor my Mom, even though I won’t be able to make it for her personally this Sunday but will whip up this easy peasy and delicious dessert the next time I’m home.

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!

Oh, the weather outside is not very frightful. Nah. It’s sunny and high 60’s which is cold to some Californians. Not me. Well, not normally me. But I won’t lie, people: the heater has been briefly turned on twice this month. I’m not proud but running around shivering is stupid too. Thus, it’s official now: I’m a California wimp.
