I’m breaking my rules…for now
Posted by catherine in Blog, Random Thoughts on 30. Aug, 2010 | 0 Comments
I have unique rules when it comes to food: I basically eat pretty much whatever the heck I want and usually let my body’s hunger signals guide my choices. I despise dieting and never count calories, fat grams, carbs, etc.
It’s not that I look down on people who do this, it’s just never [...]
Living a Distilled Life
Posted by catherine in Blog on 29. Jul, 2010 | 0 Comments
When I set out to start this blog, I had one objective: to stash my beloved recipes online. I spent a lot of hours learning how to set up a site, learn blogging software, and attempt to set up something that looks fairly easy to read.
Once my site was up and running, I began [...]
Home Run Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner
Posted by catherine in Blog, Healthy Home on 19. Jul, 2010 | 0 Comments
Here I present Exhibit A, my smudgy dishwasher.
The culprits? Three kids, including a grabby toddler. Also to blame: dirty feet kicking the dishwasher shut (don’t ask).
Maybe you have used an ammonia-based window spray on your stainless appliances. It was my go-to solution but it somehow never looked very nice. Clean, but streaky.
See?
While I [...]
Cool product alert – ClearPlay
Posted by catherine in Blog, Buy Utah, Random Thoughts on 14. Jul, 2010 | 0 Comments
Once again, I hesitate posting another commercial product, so I’ll put this out there again: if a product rocks, I have a hard time resisting the urge to share with the universe. I would be a great salesperson except that my enthusiasm also has a dark side: I will trash a product with as much [...]
Wordless Wednesday

I have no idea what this is all about, but from the other blogs I’ve been reading I think it has something to do with posting pictures only. Oops. I think I just broke a rule.
Staying well
Posted by catherine in Blog, Random Thoughts, Wellness on 11. Jul, 2010 | 0 Comments
How I like to stay healthy is easy to describe, hard to follow. But I keep the rules uncomplicated since I’m a simple girl myself.
1. Exercise. I have always like to stay active. Over the years this meant becoming certified as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I enjoy helping others in [...]

Hi, I’m Catherine. I like butter, sugar, and copious amounts of salt. I don’t eat vegetables much unless they swim in ranch dressing. Or topped with cheese.
I do, however, feel best when I attempt to eat “clean.” Notice I did not say “diet” or anything of the sort. I do not believe in [...]
My favorite thing to make

A few years back I took one of those goofy quizzes, “what Sesame Street character are you?” and surprise of all surprises, I was the Cookie Monster. For as long as I can remember, I have always loved cookies over all other goodies. I can totally relate to the blue monster’s obsession with those [...]
How’d I do that?
Posted by catherine in Blog, Random Thoughts on 25. Jun, 2010 | 0 Comments
I’m always amazed by those folks who write massive volumes of cookbooks. And slightly suspicious. I mean, how can one person come up with all those original recipes?
Now I know. I think.
I never thought in a million years I would have enough material to put together a website with my own recipes. After [...]
Here I go again. . .
