Can you believe it’s March!? Where did February go?
Personally: I stepped it up in my running and training for a Half Marathon. I ran the longest run I’ve ever run to date of 11.5 miles in February. I think I’m ready to take on a Half now. It takes mental toughness to stay focused and keep getting out there every day. My training hasn’t been perfect, but I’ve stayed focused.
Blogging: I asked you on Facebook if you had any questions for me (with the exception of you couldn’t ask age or weight). Here they are:
1. What is the favorite thing your mom cooked for you as a child and what memories does it bring back?
I am not a big eater (I know, crazy, right? But I love to cook!) and I’m not a big meat or fried food eater, but my Granny used to make fried minute steak and Skillet Potatoes. And let me tell you – It. was. good!!!
I would put the platters beside my plate and dare anyone to get any. It. was. good!!! My Granny raised 7 children in rural Mississippi during the 1930′s and 40′s, she could turn nothing into something and make it taste better than a Five Star Restaurant meal (Except that one time when I asked what she was cooking – my Mother and Granny hesitated and said ‘Dumplings’, not chicken and dumplings, hmmm fishy. So I went to the stove and lifted the lid – BLAHHHHH squirrel!!!! Yeah…. bleck, maybe that’s why I’m not a meat eater!) I digress. After my Granny wasn’t able to cook anymore, my mother started making this steak and potatoes for me. She still does. I had it last week when we visited.
2. What are some of my go-to Summer meals?
We grill a lot so it doesn’t heat up the house (although going in and out of the back door probably negates that). I’ll throw together sides like: Corn Salad, Onion, Avocado and Mango salad, Pasta Salad. I also grill extra proteins and use steak or chicken on salads and sandwiches, use fish or shrimp in soft tacos. Then I add an interesting sauce or dressing to liven it up a bit.
3. (From my husband) Do you think wives should clean their husbands showers?
Not if your life depended on it. Next…

Following are the February’s Top Five viewed posts!
1. Valentine Menu - I put this easy menu together with my sweet husband in mind. (He loved it!)
2. Super Bowl Food – 49ers - This post went viral on Pinterest. Even though I did a similar one for the Ravens, this 49ers menu beat them in the polls!
3. Easy Key Lime Cake - This is an older post that got in circulation on Pinterest and went a little crazy.
4. Seared Scallops - When you have a craving you just go with it. I wanted scallops and came up with this. I served it over Extreme Rice.
5. Refreshing Grape Salad - This was one of the first posts I did. I edited the picture and added it to my Pinterest board and it got traffic. It’s a great side dish or light dessert for Spring.
What was your favorite February post?
