Excuses. Do you find them or do they find you? I sit down to write and it is always something. The dog wants to go out. There is someone at the door. The phone won’t stop ringing. There is a fascinating text chain between my dog friends. I see dust on the window. The timer goes off. My water glass is empty. I …

Tuna In For The Next Half Of The Year
Half of the year is almost over!!! Do you sit and think that it went fast? Maybe it went too slow? It could be you are glad that there is only half of 2020 left! It has been a downright crazy year. I have had a really hard time getting focused on writing. I’ve had plenty to say (ask …
Frico-ing Out Over My Great Ham & Cheese
Do you ever eat something and then become obsessed? Maybe you go eat it multiple times. Maybe you use the google to find out recipes or restaurants that you can find it at. Maybe you dream about it and wake up with your pillow in your mouth. (My husband wakes up that way sometimes…..but it …
SOS (Save Our Sandwich)
Stupid…..stupid…stupid..stupid. This is what I was saying on Friday night. We were going to have weekend company and I thought I would try something new for dinner. Nooooooo!!! You are NEVER supposed to do that! What happens if it doesn’t turn out? What happens if it is overcooked? Now a normal person would not go …
It’s a Miracle
I’m fine but I’m whipped. I am so lucky that I have friends who care so much about me that they realize I’m sick when my blog and Facebook posts decrease. So, because I can’t keep up with the emails/messages….my Crohn’s is having a bit of a flare right now and decided to bring along …
My Chicken Salad “Sad”wich
I hope everyone enjoyed my Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week preview. I had debated on writing a Valentine’s Day blog in the mix of all of that but decided against it for one reason…..my Valentine’s Day was kind of awful this year. Now before I start getting the inquiries asking about the state of my marriage, …
A Sandwich Worth Sharing
How did you learn to share?  Does it go back to your earliest memories of childhood where you didn’t have a choice but to share with your siblings? Were there things that you wanted to keep to yourself only to share them later because it was the right thing to do? As an adult, sharing …
Philadelphia Dip Or My New Sandwish
Do you have an extra freezer? I do. I really love having the convenience of buying things on sale or bulkier items and have a place to put them. The problem is that they can be overwhelming at times. I looked in mine the other day and just had so many thoughts go through my …
BLT on a Waffle…Need I Say More?
Let me start this off by saying that I am in no way, shape or form saying there is anything wrong with the classic BLT. It is probably the most perfect sandwich in the world. (Peanut butter and Jelly lovers please don’t send hate mail.) There is just something magical that happens when crispy bacon …
The Moist Political Blog On Chicken Salad
Moist. Mooooist. MOIST. MOIST!!!! I have just read a bunch of articles that state that the word “moist” makes people feel uncomfortable.  (This article from Mental Floss was my favorite.) Apparently, it is now a word that people avoid at all costs….but not me…the word moist is not the worst word out there right now. …
