Hey guess what is finally gone? YUP. I ate an entire tin of bark (by myself) in under a week. I’m guessing it was 4+ pounds of chocolate. Should I be proud of this or mortified? The worst part is that I actually considered going back to WF and getting another when this one was donezo. WTF is wrong with me? I need to only order chocolate from Thrive so I can keep myself in check. Oh, and while we are on the topic of my habits that I should probably get a hold on… Read more >
I have a limited rotation of breakfasts that I make for Kyle, usually strata or coffee cake (with days of cereal in between if I can’t get my act together in time).

I accidentally went to WF and bought a tin of bark. I don’t know why I wandered over to the cookie/dessert bar section of the store, I think I was looking for an individual Califia pumpkin almond milk because I wanted to try a smaller size before committing to the big one, but anyway…they had all these different yummy kinds of bark.

At least the weather shifted this week. So it does, in fact, feel like Fall now. We even got sprinkles. Now my plants are happy again (drought problems). Let’s get to the really important stuff….

Running through this past week’s dinners fast because I have a fun weekend post to share… This is out of order, but I am too lazy to copy and paste the photos correctly. HA! So above is Wednesday’s meal. My dad came to play but I wasn’t sure if he’d be joining us for dinner. Once he determined he was staying, he called on the way over and offered to pick up extra chicken thighs. Then I just made extra peas and rice and sauce. Boom. I didn’t measure the ingredients I put into the sweet dijon… Read more >
