mini breakfast quiches: a recipe
i require quick breakfasts on weekdays. i start work at 7am which means some days i’m leaving before the boys are awake. kinda rare since my kids wake up at the butt-crack of dawn. i swear, if they see the slightest bit of light peaking through their windows (which have super dark curtains and get … Continue reading »

God’s candy
Seriously, yesterday’s food intake was a disaster. I have been trying to watch how much sugar and carbs I’m eating and it’s TOUGH. I’m managing but today after lunch…EPIC FAILURE.
