  • Difference between: orange juice and Sunny Delight

    There weren’t too many surprises when I started researching the difference between orange juice and Sunny Delight, or as it’s sometimes marketed, SunnyD. But what I didn’t expect was what a horrific reputation Sunny Delight has.

  • Compelling reasons why you should be trying eMeals

    Note: This is not a sponsored post. eMeals is not paying me for this. Thoughts are my own.

    Another (more general) note: I try to respect my family’s privacy as I blog even though, obviously, they come up sometimes. But it’s really cumbersome to type “the husband” and “the baby” so going forward they are A and O, respectively. Most of you probably know their names but let’s just not make it more public than it needs to be. Thanks!

    If we’re Facebook friends, you’ve probably noticed me posting pictures of awesome dinners through my 100 Happy Days posts. If you think I’m just super clever and am coming up with all of these creative dishes on my own, I’m not.

    A couple of years ago A and I tried eMeals and to be honest, I wasn’t super impressed. We did the budget plan and it was very…limiting. But, that’s probably par for the course when you’re spending as little money as possible.

    Then, a couple of months ago A suggested we give it another try, going with a different plan. And I’m super glad we did.

  • Food history: backyard cookouts

    Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and random days in October when you’re just so thrilled the weather is still warm – it’s time for backyard cookouts.

    As close as it gets to a backyard cookout at my place. (We can’t have a grill.)

  • Difference between: coffee and decaf coffee

    Okay folks, small blog update before I get into this one.

    I started a new job this week. 

    I’ve transitioned from being a freelance writer on the side, to being an actual, full-time, writer and editor for a well known marketing company. This is awesome.

    In lieu of the big changes happening in my life, I thought it was time to take a gander at the Difference Between category on this blog – the one I post in the most frequently.

    I started this blog in April of 2013. (Three year anniversary!) My first Difference Between post was in July of 2013, on Russian dressing and Thousand Island dressing. I’ve done a Difference Between post once a week, with few exceptions, for two years and nine months. 

    And I think it’s time to switch it up.

    I have an idea of what I want to take my once-a-week post place, but I’m not sure enough to announce it just yet.

    In the meantime! Feel free to continue emailing me with Difference Between post ideas, because I’ll probably pick it up at some point.

    Here’s the last Difference Between post for awhile: coffee versus decaf coffee.
