The Type A Housewife is now Oh My Veggies!

Parsley

As many of you know, I’ve been unhappy with the name of this blog for a while. When I started writing here, I had no idea that it would grow the way it has. I thought of The Type A Housewife as a tongue-in-cheek reference to Martha Stewart and that stereotypical perfect housewife that always [...]

Changes to my RSS Feed & Other Blog-Related Things

RSS Feed

I’ve decided to switch my blog feed to excerpts. The last time I tried doing this, a bunch of people unsubscribed, so I know this isn’t a popular move. I know! And I’m sorry! The reason I’m doing it is to protect my blog from content scrapers–they look for content in full-text RSS feeds that [...]

How to Use Content from a Food Blogger (or at least THIS food blogger)

Stealing Content From Other Bloggers Is Not A Good Look

Food Photography with an iPhone

I have a Point & Shoot camera, but for some reason, it just doesn’t want to photograph food. Although I’ve had some success using its Macro setting, I’ve found that the pictures I take with my iPhone always turn out better, so I use that almost exclusively on my blog. Even though I’m planning on [...]

Weekend Ramblings | What’s in a name?

whatsinaname

The hardest part of starting this blog wasn’t figuring out what I was going to write about or learning how to use Blogger. It was coming up with a name. I had a lot of ideas–great ideas! I even had ideas that were in French. But whenever I had one of those “Yes, that’s it! [...]

Weekend Ramblings | I am not a food photographer.

When I switched from Blogger to WordPress, there were things that needed to be done right away and things that got put on the backburner. Figuring out why all the spaces after my commas mysteriously vanished? That was on my right away list. Moving all my pictures from PhotoBucket to WordPress? Backburner. So, unbeknownst to [...]
