Wendy’s

This was my first meal of the day, taken at 3PM last Monday. I went to the mall hoping to get some gifts for the kids and look at available switch plates for our ancestral home’s renovation. It was a very disappointing trip, save for my Wendy’s meal – my usual order of baked potato bacon & cheese, bacon mushroom melt and biggie iced tea. All the things that were on the kids’ wishlist were out of stock. I had to go to the city to get their gifts. I spent 5 digits in two hours of shopping. The holidays can truly drain you – that’s for sure!

Comfort Foods

What do I love most about Christmas?
It is the fact that I get to eat my most favorite meal out of my Mom’s cooking!


My mom’s macaroni is the best ever. Seriously! Everybody who has tasted it loves it and swears that there is no macaroni like other. Nurse friends leave with their dickies scrubs a bit tighter at the waist after eating at our Mom’s.


A new favorite is my Mom’s refrigerator cake. She has mastered that art of it not being too sweet and mashes the Graham crackers like the crust in blueberry pies.

So I guess not being able to stick to a diet this holiday season is a given.
