A Vegetarian Food Blog
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 [...]
My husband and I are both from the same town in Illinois, so we visited our families there last weekend. We’ve only seen my family once since moving to North Carolina and we haven’t seen my husband’s family at all. We were going to go to Illinois for Christmas, but decided to wait until the [...]
I’m not a big fan of the gloppy syrup that often comes with cooked apples. It’s too sweet for me and it kind of has a glue-like consistency. Yuck! Many sauteed apple recipes are very saucy and syrupy, so when I make them myself, I prefer a very dry sauteed apple (which also means they [...]

Although some people perceive the internet to be an information free-for-all, I think most bloggers feel a little bit protective of their content, particularly if they’re making an income from blogging. As a blogger, it upsets me to see my photographs and recipes used in a way that I don’t agree with and I decided [...]
Friday was my birthday, but since I had a migraine all day (again!), we didn’t really do much. So on Saturday, I loaded up on Excedrin and my husband and I went to the fancypants mall in Durham. I really wanted cheesecake for my birthday, so we went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I [...]
