Tunes For Tuesday – The Plimsouls
Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

The early 80’s have been on my mind lately (surprise) given my Top 10 80’s Movies Geek Guys post that I did for AJ@Confessions of a Fat Girl, and since the movie “Valley Girl” was on that list, I had to feature this band, The Plimsouls, this week. The Plimsouls actually perform two songs in the movie but “A Million Miles Away” is my favorite one I have feeling with the So Cal Ragnar […]
From Susie's Kitchen – Review of "Whole Grain Mornings" Cookbook
Susie’s back everyone and she’s giving you the scoop on a new cookbook about my favorite meal of the day – breakfast! Enjoy!
Oatmeal, Buckwheat & Rye—Oh, My!

So sorry, all, but I couldn’t resist a slight cheesy homage to one of my childhood favorites, The Wizard of Oz. Now, I know every single person reading this is thinking, What the hell does The Wizard of Oz have to do with cooking?! (It doesn’t. I just needed the rhyme, OK?)
See, after February’s delicious but admittedly, er, calorie-laden chocolate extravaganza, I was eager to road-test something a little lighter. Given that it was still below zero every day most of this month, I was still leaning toward something that would offer some warm, cozy dishes—the culinary equivalent of a woolly blanket and feetie pajamas. (Come on, East Coasters—you know you’d have bought a few pairs if they made ‘em in our size!)
WHOLE GRAIN MORNINGS by Megan Gordon author of the blog, A Sweet Spoonful and also the purveyor of MARGE Granola, turned out to be the perfect choice. The book features recipes that not only highlight morning faves like oatmeal, granola, fruity muffins and pancakes, but most importantly, showcases flavorful new twists on these comfort classics, as well as dozens of really yummy-looking other dishes.
Another whole grain book? What’s so great about this one? […]
Friday's Featured Female – Heather Reese @ It's A Lovely Life
Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!
This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women. IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.
I’m exceptionally thrilled to have Heather@It’s A Lovely Life here today. Heather and I met briefly at my first Bloggy Boot Camp in Las Vegas in 2012 and even though we only spent a […]
Healthy Snack Preparation from Raquel@OrganizedIsland
The Walk A Mile In Another Blogger’s Shoes #BlogSwap continues! Monday I was at AJ’s blog with my view on the Top 10 80’s Movie Geek Guys and today I get the chance to feature, Raquel@OrganizedIsland.
I could really use a permanent Raquel in my life since time management and organization are not my strong suits, here’s hoping Raquel can help some of you (and me) with healthy snack preparation.

Thank you Melissa for having me on your […]
Tunes For Tuesday – Spandau Ballet
Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!
Image: Daisy
Today’s Tunes For Tuesday is Spandau Ballet’s “Gold”. Not only has “gold” been on my mind since Wild Boy won 1st place in his elementary school Jog-A-Thon this week (he ran the equivalent of a 10K – – – he’s isn’t even 7 yet) but Spandau’s been in the news recently.

Spandau Ballet just appeared at SXSW with a film […]
