Happy National Consumerism Day! Did you sober up from your Thanksgiving tryptophan bender in time to hit any 3am doorbusters? I did not. Hit any 3am doorbusters, that is. As a general rule, I only allow myself to be awake in the middle of the night under three circumstances: 1.) Because I haven’t made it…

She Eats: The Pinterest Edition
Nearly halfway through October I realized it’s time for another She Eats posts in its new monthly format. Its new monthly format. See how well that’s working out for me? Yeah. Since I’ve been a pinning fool lately, I decided to feature not one, but two recipes I discovered on Pinterest. Not only because they fit…
She Eats: Raspberry Trifle (aka Dessert!)
I wasn’t supposed to put beef in the trifle! ~Rachel Green I don’t do diets. The rules. The regulations. The constant meeting of goals… Just the thought of it all makes me itch with anxiety. I simply don’t respond well to endeavors that leave me feeling confined or restricted. In fact, for a self-proclaimed health…
She Eats: Herbed Salmon
Well, this has certainly been an exciting week for us East Coasters. Did you hear we had an earthquake? It was kind of a Big Deal. For those of you on the east coast: I know, right?!?! For those of you on the west coast: Stop snickering. And for those of you stuck somewhere in…
She Eats: Garden Spaghetti
Spaghetti is a classic comfort food. With its hearty meat sauces and carb-y goodness, it’s not exactly on the spectrum of what you’d call “lighter fare.” Which is why I generally associate it with cooler weather (mmmm… cooler weather) and rarely make it in the summertime. Generally speaking, there are simply lighter (and healthier) pasta…
She Eats: Balsamic Chicken with Baby Spinach
Because we are smack dab in the dog days of summer. Because my last round of She Eats was a beast. Because this is my third post in three days. For these reasons, this week’s She Eats is going to be short, sweet and very, very simple. Balsamic Chicken with Baby Spinach and Couscous Looking back…
She Eats: A Taste of the Tropics
Let’s try this again, shall we? At this point in the summer, you’re probably either about to head off on a fabulous vacation, or you’re just returning from one. Or, if you’re like me, the only vacation you’ll be taking this summer is a much-too-short – albeit very much anticipated – girls’ getaway to Myrtle…
She Eats: Grilled Shrimp with Orzo and Zucchini
Few foods are more American than burgers and hot dogs. But if you’re looking for a healthier alternative for your holiday BBQ, why not try grilled shrimp? According to Ellie Krieger, registered dietitian, host of the Food Network’s Healthy Appetite, and pretty much my domestic goddess, shrimp is incredibly low in fat, high in protein, and…
She Eats: BLT Pizza
After layoffs forced my dad into semi-early retirement, he happily settled into a more domesticated daily routine. He began spending his days tidying the house, puttering around the yard, and preparing dinner for my mom when she returned home after a long day of enriching 5-year-old minds. As Dad grew more comfortable in the kitchen,…

Hello! I'm Kristin, a self-proclaimed city girl now living the rural life with my husband, daughter, and a black cat named Boo in eastern West Virginia – or as I like to spin it, the far western suburbs of D.C. Welcome to What She Said, an irreverent blend of family, life, and humor. Because if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry.
