Treatments for bloody noses.
Okay so this week I’m focusing on icky bodily irritants. I know it’s taken a lot of time and research to come up with the best ways to control my allergies. I’ve been rid of them for a few years but this year is shaping up to be a harsh one. I get bloody noses super easy. My doctor says everything looks fine even though I probably have an average of one per week most of the time....

Sorry I’ve been neglecting this blog for a week. I was so exhausted and busy. Not only was I lacking sleep but my weekend that I planned to relax and catch up, turned into me entertaining and being stressed out. I have an eczema flare up from both allergies and stress. Nothing has helped me over the years with my flare ups except for less allergic times of the year, trying my best to be...

Vacation Day One: Heading to Long Beach
Since I’m going to be spending a week away from my computer I thought I would queue up some posts related to my itinerary for the week. It is my choice to leave my computer at home. Coachella’s heat is no place for a laptop and I want to enjoy my time off without too much technology. Don’t worry. I’ll still have my phone.
So I’ve been thinking of some artsy fartsy...

Green Eggs and Ham
So you are wondering what to do with all that extra ham you have left over. Make a breakfast of green eggs and ham. It’s simple! Fry up a piece of the left over ham. Puree some spinach or use some pesto, get crazy and add some chopped zucchini and mix it into your scrambled eggs. Now you can feel as though you are living in one of Dr. Seuss’ tales.

Blown Easter Eggs →
My family never used hard boiled eggs to dye for Easter. Instead my mom would save up a bunch of blown eggs. Since she is a baker, we would have a ton of them. She still has them saved in large egg boxes that she gets from the local egg farm. (egg farm? chicken farm?) They are delicate but they can be used over and over again and saved from year to year. You end up with a big collection. You will...

I'm a few days behind.
It was my birthday on Tuesday. I can’t say I did anything fun. However, I am having a few people over on Saturday for a homemade pizza, pajama, and poker night. It’s my golden birthday but I’m realizing I’m going with rainbow stuff because it’s cute and pretty! I’ve become a homebody and the idea of going out seems like a bigger chore than having a party at my...

Meatloaf/ball Mushrooms
So here is a great idea I had. Take meatball meat or meatloaf meat and stuff it into little button mushrooms and bake them. I did this and it was delicious. They are filling and probably more healthy because half the amount you were going to eat, as meat, is now mushrooms. I added a little too much oregano when I was going for meatloaf flavor but I ended up turning it into the next days meal and...

Louisiana Stew: How to trick kids into eating...
I was babysitting on Monday and when I arrived the mom said she took all the leftovers (ham, collards, corn) and added some seasoning, water, lentils and black beans to a crock pot and cooked the Shish Kebab out of it while the kids were gone to school. She told me to tell them it was Louisiana Stew because for whatever reason she thought the youngest one would not eat it if we just called it...
