Not clean eating: Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough balls

January 5, 2019January 5, 2019 / Meg / 4 Comments

I know, I know — it’s the New Year and everyone is like, “Let’s join a gym! Let’s get back on Weight Watchers! Let’s start eating clean!” And I’m like . . . here are some fake cookie dough balls. Enjoy? I say “fake” because they contain no egg, so it’s safe to eat them … Continue reading Not clean eating: Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough balls

The sugary smell of springtime

March 23, 2016March 23, 2016 / Meg / 21 Comments

Hello. It’s me. I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet? Just kidding! But also . . . hi. I really didn’t plan to vanish like that — and though I’m not generally one to blog about blogging, I didn’t want to swoop in here and pretend like it hasn’t been … Continue reading The sugary smell of springtime

Let it snow, snow, snow (whether we like it or not)

January 21, 2016January 21, 2016 / Meg / 19 Comments

The weather reports are pretty unanimous now: we’re in for a big one. At least a foot of snow, if not more, plus strong winds, ice, low visibility — the works. Needless to say, all plans are cancelled and we ain’t going anywhere. It’ll be our first family snowed-in weekend! Our last major snowfall was … Continue reading Let it snow, snow, snow (whether we like it or not)

Weighty issues (oh, and slow cooker thyme pork roast)

January 7, 2016January 8, 2016 / Meg / 18 Comments

I think I set a record on Sunday. The very first person — ever, in the history of kitchens — to call out, “Oh, don’t even TELL me we’re out of caraway seed.” Because … who uses caraway seed? And who uses caraway seed so often that they actually fear running out of it? (Well, … Continue reading Weighty issues (oh, and slow cooker thyme pork roast)

Hello, 2016

January 3, 2016January 4, 2016 / Meg / 14 Comments

So, you know. I ended 2015 how I wanted to spend most of it, the most life-changing year of my life: asleep. Despite a valiant effort to stay up with Spencer to welcome 2016 at my in-laws’ home, I passed out on the couch . . . at 8:30 p.m. I mean, I am 30 … Continue reading Hello, 2016

Mom-scale victories at 4 months old

August 12, 2015August 11, 2015 / Meg / 26 Comments

In Weight Watchers, we often talk about “non-scale victories.” NSVs are those little moments which serve to remind you why you’re pushing so hard and making tough choices every day. They’re related to weight loss, of course, but not directly; as you might guess by the name, they’re triumphs apart from any number on the … Continue reading Mom-scale victories at 4 months old

This mom stays in the picture

July 29, 2015 / Meg / 63 Comments

Many moons ago, I stumbled upon a piece by Allison Tate: “The Mom Stays in the Picture.” I was newly engaged, blissfully planning my wedding, not yet close to being a mother. I was also in the best shape of my life. In 2013, I lost 35 pounds and was the happiest, prettiest and most … Continue reading This mom stays in the picture
