~by Nikki Remember when we told you about how we plan to do a little monetization to support the blog? Yeah…you remember that. It was a beautiful moment…like something right off of 7th Heaven or something…Yeah. S’anyway…our first endeavor is to bring you great products for a great price with reasonable shipping costs. Look to your right and you’ll see …

This recipe is ubiquitous. (And, yes, I did use the word ubiquitous because I’ve been dying to use the word ubiquitous, thank you for noticing!) Even though that’s not quite the right word.

~~posted by Jen Obligatory Disclaimer:  Let me start by clearing up a common misconception about Mahi Mahi, it is NOT Dolphin. It is a fish nicknamed a “dolphin fish”, here’s a link with more specific info about what type of fish it is. Sauteed Mahi Mahi Burger with Greek Yogurt & Salsa “Remoulade” Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite stores, they have …

~~posted by Jen Back in my younger days, we used to go to the VFW on Saturday nights. Laugh all you want, but I grew up in a very small, very rural town in Southwest Georgia. Needless to say there wasn’t much else of excitement to do once you outgrew cruising the strip and were of legal drinking age. They …

~by Nikki La  Petite Diva (left), La Grande Diva (right) Do you have kids? I do. Two of them. See above 🙂 Both of them are gorgeous. Both of them are practical and independent. But both of them weigh just a bit more than they should for their age. When I made the decision to have weight loss surgery, in many ways, …

~by Nikki Currently there seems to be a shortage of canned pumpkin due to the summer heat and its affects on the pumpkin crops. We’ve heard from fellow Pouchers that when they do find canned pumpkin, it is more expensive this year than in the past (if you’ve found a good deal, please post in the comments so others can …

~~posted by Jen I spent today with my boys Zeus and Mickey and with my ex father-in-law for his 81st birthday. We had a nice visit and I got home much later than I had originally planned. That made me REALLY glad I had some of this awesome Spinach and Bacon pie in the fridge to heat up for a …

~~posted by Jen Let me start off by saying: No, we’re not giving up on making great “people food” for y’all. Most all of our friends on FaceBook and OH have pets, and you’ve all probably heard tales of my boy Zeus, not to mention Nik’s poodle Precious.
