Me Me Me

I've done a couple of these posts in the past, but haven't done a post about me in 2 years.  I'm constantly changing so I figured it was time to do an update. Here's my old posts: Maybe You Think I Am Who I'm Not and The ABCs Of Liz.



  • I have a husband and three kids.  They are my world.
  • I'm newly a Catholic.
  • I'm very easy to get along with.  I have a little social awkwardness and am a little shy at first, but after people get to know me, they usually like me. 
  • I try to always give others the benefit of the doubt, or see both sides of a fight.
  • Don't make assumptions about me because of my religion.  I'm very eclectic and quite liberal.
  • I don't usually talk politics with people although I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions, because many people cannot stay civil.  You're not going to change my mind, just as I'm not going to change yours.
  • I'm a larger woman, and while I'm not thrilled with my size, I'm happy being me.  
  • I always try to dress somewhat nice and don't like to leave the house without my hair and makeup done.  It's not for other people,  it's because I feel good when I look nice.
  • Reality TV is my guilty pleasure.  I'm not talking about American Idol or Survivor, I'm talking The Real Housewives, Mob Wives, Teen Mom, Breaking Amish, etc.
  • I love to cook, and really LOVE when others enjoy the food I cook.
  • I try really hard not to be judgmental,  but when my friends make decisions that I feel aren't the right ones, I do have a tendency to get judgy.
  • I like to get crafty.  Sewing, knitting, crocheting, painting, etc. It all makes me so happy.
  • I have an addiction to children's books. I buy so many!
  • I have the most fun when I'm with my kids.  Other people can be involved too, but my kids are the coolest people I know.
  • I'm literally allergic to everything.  I've had allergy tests done and I'm allergic to everything but palm trees and horses.
  • I have a tendency to be cheesy.
  • We have this thing called Tiemann time.  It's the time we operate on because we are never on time to anything.  We are usually at least 20 minutes late.  Sorry.
  • I have a bad habit of nail biting.  As I get older I get better about it, but a little stress and my nails are gone.
That's all I can really think of at this moment, but hopefully this helps you to see a little more about who I am.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once hot and melted together add the onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
