June 2014 is (almost) in the books, so that means there’s a good chunk of you out there who have already been to multiple weddings this summer with more on the horizon. I feel like there’s a sweet spot of weddings per year — assuming you’re not strapped for cash, 2-3 per year seems like … Continue reading
As we discussed a few weeks ago, I am now the proud resident of a Trader Joe’s neighborhood. It’s been a little hard to get into the store sometimes (unless 70-person lines are your idea of fun), but I’ve definitely enjoyed poking around in there and making new discoveries. And I’ve really appreciated all of … Continue reading
Get excited, folks — this recipe comes to you via a SPOOKY STORY! Well…maybe not “spooky.” Spooky requires supernatural beings and disturbing imagery and stuff like that, right? There’s none of that in my kitchen. How about this: This recipe comes to you via a FUNNY AND MILDLY ALARMING COINCIDENCE! I really know how to … Continue reading
Would you believe that this is my three hundredth post??? I have to be honest with you, this alarming milestone kinda snuck up on me. On Friday, I was just casually thinking, “oh hey, I wonder how many recipes I’ve posted so far?” FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. And then I looked, and I was at … Continue reading
So today I want to talk about one of my favorite — and least favorite — things. The Internet. Specifically, how the internet can take some random person’s offhand remark and turn it into a Thing. For example, take this lady, who single-handedly coined my most beloved phrase of all time in the course of … Continue reading
Hi friends! Hope you all had a good weekend! I sure did — yesterday I went to my first NFL game! I got my husband Bears-Redskins tickets for his birthday, and even though the Bears lost, it was an exciting, close game and perfect football weather. I only wish the Redskins fans had been a … Continue reading
I’m sorry to be the one to bring it up, but we are creeping dangerously close to the end of summer. It’s about this time every year that I start thinking about what all I have (or haven’t) crossed of my annual bucket list. I’ve done pretty well so far this year. So far I … Continue reading
For the most part (as in, 99% of the time), I feel really lucky that my husband will eat basically anything I throw at him. He really is a trooper. Even when I cook something knowing full well that it contains one of his disfavored ingredients (such as my beloved kalamata olives), he will usually … Continue reading
If you stay even marginally aware of news and current events, you’re probably used to getting bad news on a regular basis. Sugar is killing you, salt is killing you, breast cancer rates are spiking among women under 40, and you can’t even take your family on a nice cruise without experiencing something close to … Continue reading
When my husband and I are walking somewhere in the city (meeting friends at a restaurant, going to the grocery store, etc.), we often disagree about the proper route to take. Being the logical, practical guy that he is, he tends to gravitate toward the most direct route that gets us to our destination in … Continue reading
