Oops, time slipped away from me completely yesterday and I didn’t get a chance to wish you all a wonderful weekend! I suppose Saturday morning will just have to do. :) In fact, right now is my very favorite time of the week. I just got back from a hot, sweaty run and have a

Scallops with Cucumber-Horseradish Sauce
I absolutely love cooking with my family. We always put on fun music, wear adorable aprons (even when we don’t really need them), and each have our own Cooking Station (aka: designated counter space). This past weekend I went home to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Weeks prior, my sisters and I decided to divvy up

Emergency Fund: Just $2,475 left to go!
Right now my finances are on cruise control, moving along at a steady slightly-above-the-speed-limit pace.

Roasted Summer Vegetable Pasta with Goat Cheese
When my sister and friend told me they wanted to come for the weekend, they asked if we could keep things low-key and on the frugal side. That is always okay with me! Friday night we ate at a chic (but cheap) Mexican restaurant, and Saturday we decided to make dinner together from things we

Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Friday everyone! This weekend I have three special visitors: my older sister, my dearest friend (you may remember her as A, my first roommate in DC who got married and moved to Atlanta), and her darling little puppy. :) This is the first time I’ve had official guests at my new apartment and I’m so
