Here’s a horrible confession for a quasi-food-blogger to make — I haven’t been in the kitchen for nearly two weeks! That can happen more easily than you think, can’t it? Especially in the summer. Especially in a summer as nice and cool as this one when all you want to do is be outside. Especially … Continue reading
Is anyone else surprised by how much they’re enjoying Weird Al Week? I had pretty much forgotten Weird Al existed (except for the rare – and excellent – moments when The Saga Begins would randomly pop up on my iTunes), but BANG! This week he just knocked it out of the park releasing a different … Continue reading
Do you consider yourself a procrastinator? I really vary by mood. Sometimes I’ll wake up early on a Saturday morning and just be like clean all the things!!! and I’ll do dishes and laundry and pay bills and return emails and just get eeeeeeeverything done. And then, there are times like today, when the laundry … Continue reading
Confession time, guys — I am a recovering Lean Cuisine addict. As in, addict. As in, ate 5+ per week. As in, would get to the grocery store checkout counter with nothing in my cart but Lean Cuisines, granola bars and wine. What can I say? Age 25 was a simpler time. My favorite was … Continue reading
Are any of you out there Spotify fans? I downloaded it when it first came out a few years ago, but I didn’t really get the appeal and eventually forgot about it. Well, the other day I randomly remembered my Spotify password and logged back in, and I’m so glad I did — it got … Continue reading
OK first things first — this pasta rocked. It came together super quick, it had awesome flavor, and neither of us could stop eating it. It may not be the healthiest or lightest dinner I’ve ever made, but if you use whole wheat pasta, it’s not so bad. It’s got TWO whole vegetables! Now, moving … Continue reading
Do you organize your grocery list by where things are located in the grocery store? I remember discovering that my mom did this when I was little and being amazed by how much of a genius she was. It blew my mind. Such a clever trick would’ve never occurred to me, I was sure. As … Continue reading
So friends — everyone tired from the Oscars last night? What dresses did we like? Viola Davis’s green dress was one of my favorites, and I loved Oliva Wilde’s sweet little baby bump. Everyone seemed to really love Amy Adams and Lupita Nyong’o’s dresses, but I was…a little underwhelmed. And I was sorta ambivalent about … Continue reading
Some kitchen activities have a reputation for being difficult — making risotto, working with yeast, stuff like that. Somehow I’ve never had any trouble with either of those things, but you know what I can’t do to save my life? Pick out an avocado. Does anyone else have this problem? Why are avocados so darn … Continue reading
Are you guys getting excited for the Olympics? I gotta admit, I haven’t been too psyched for the winter Olympics since I was 9. And that’s because when I was 9, it was 1994, and the 1994 winter Olympics was the craziest thing that ever happened. On that note, did anyone else watch that ESPN … Continue reading
