What DO we do?
Update, 2018. Rather than update this page, I’m leaving it because it’s amazing how different our life is now – with 2 kids. So this is what we do now. It’s pretty much all about the kids, several times a year dates – oh, and …

Who ARE we?
Lo and I met at work in 2005, and about a year later I accidentally hit on him through a work email. It wasn’t an accident as in I didn’t want to go out with him – I thought he was attractive and WAS interested in …
That IS what we do
I wanted to start a blog that is a bit more about me/us. I’ve been blogging for a few years with Columbus on the Cheap – but it is more of an informational blog, with very little of me – it’s just all Columbus. I …
Gluten-Free Wonder Buns
Since I’ve been gluten-free, I’ve missed having a burger or a sandwich on a bun. Some purchased GF bread products are satisfactory, but nothing more than that – and they crumble. I don’t eat a lot of bread products, so I’d have to freeze what …

Blueberry Zucchini Bread
I’m well overdue at posting this – like a year. But I wanted to get it posted since it’s zucchini season and everyone has zucchini. Your mom has zucchini. This is by far, my favorite zucchini bread recipe (or really, any homemade bread). I’m not even sure …
Slow Cooker Baked Beans
I love baked beans – a lot. I don’t like many canned baked beans, but I used to love these: yes, baked beans with chicken. I used to eat half a can and call it dinner. Kind of gross, huh? I’m not sure that they …
