Been feeling hopeless about Gretchen's health lately. She has been in a lot of pain and we haven't had a lot in the way of directives from our Banfield vets as to how to proceed other than managing pain with drugs. (See some rants about that here) We had been very happy with Banfield up until now, I want you to know. But this latest rash of issues with Gretchen, and their inability to be on the sa...
We had too much cream. A leftover half-log of Laura Chenel goat cheese. A whole container of baby spinach I knew I couldn't use before it went bad. So it was time to come up with a recipe to use them! Chris kept saying "DAMN Shay." So I guess this improvised recipe was a win, and here it is:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2-3 oz goat cheese
1 cup packed spinach, chopped
2 cloves garlic...
Adapted from an Emerial Lagasse recipe, based on our tastes and what we had on hand.

1/4 pound Italian sausage (ground, or removed from the casing and crumbled)

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 large cloves minced g...
I am not a big breakfast person. Wait...check that. I love bacon and eggs and big weekend breakfasts. But regular daily breakfasts I often feel at a loss. I prefer salty breakfasts, and if I have sweet I prefer it be fast and not too sweet. So it is strange that I have been eating a s'mores Luna Bar each morning for the most part. It's fast, easy, has some sugars and protein to get me through unti...
Shay's Southwest Chicken Chili
I created this recipe on the fly for dinner tonight when I needed to use up some chicken breasts we had on hand. I tend to always have onion, garlic, sour cream, and canned white beans around. The avocado I had leftover from another meal we had recently which I was happy to use up, and for me was real icing on the cake. A really delicious addition.

Hey CocoNUTS, here's my brief update:Been using coconut oil as a cleanser and moisturizer for about three weeks now. It is the ONLY thing I have been using. As in I do not use any other cleanser, moisturizer, toner, makeup remover, NOTHING. Just coconut oil before I go to bed or when I shower.I massage a nickel-sized dollop into my skin on my face and neck, including eyes and lashes to remove wate...
So I recently made an announcement regarding the change in my "no men" policy for my bellydance classes. The announcement was thus:
"I
am finally opening my regular classes officially to all genders next
session. If you want to know the story of why I made my classes women
only in my early years of teaching until now, I am more than willing to
tell you why. But even given very good reason...
In the past week, I have been experiencing the most excruciating back pain I have ever experienced. Now I have had some doozies in my past, due to a disk issue I have had for years. At its worst, I had to crawl to the bathroom now and again during bad flare ups. This past week? I couldn't even crawl.
How I felt on Saturday (not quite how I looked)
I had been having my regular disk issues last ...
Julie Klover commented with this little home recipe on Facebook. I want to note it for later, so am putting it here! Here's her post: "...you may want to take "before pictures" it's
a great way to see the changes in your skin. I have used coconut oil to
shave with as well. I'm liking it so far. I've also made a sugar scrub
for my body, not face. Legs feel great after! 2.5 cups sugar, 1 cup...
Coconut Oil Experiment Report: I have been using coconut oil to wash my face the past few days, and so far so good. (If you want to read more about other experiences with this, check the links at the bottom of this post) Too soon to really say what the true results will be as my face needs to adjust to the change, which will take a couple weeks; and I want to get through a full monthly cycle to ...
