*After months of sweat, toil, and constant vigilance (largely on the part of Matt, let’s be honest), our own little cosmos plants have grown and flourished from the tiny seeds they once were. Isn’t that magical? Of course, it’s nothing short of a miracle that they’re not all dead, considering that Matt and I kept …
Here’s What’s Cooking . . . Crescent Rolls
Are you sick of roll recipes? I sure am not. It’s like I have this crazy roll addiction that seems to come around every Sunday, just begging to be satisfied… Anyway, I found this recipe in The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner, and it is amazing (I think Matt ate 8 or 9 rolls the first …

Tuesday Tell-All
*I think I was warned about the Meidells and math long before Matt and I were ever married. But oh, how ignorant I was on how deep the hatred really runs, and how there’s nothing like a complicated math word problem that gets a Meidell’s blood boiling, and fast. *I tell you this because we …
