Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Now, about these bars. I saw them on Sally’s Baking Addiction last year and vowed I would remember to make them this Saint Patrick’s Day. In addition to being an adorable holiday treat, WHAT A GREAT IDEA, RIGHT!? Rice Krispie treats are one of my favorite snacks, but would I ever … Continue reading
Happy Kansas Day, everyone! Don’t tell me you’re unfamiliar with the holiday. It occurs every January 29 and celebrates the day Kansas was admitted to the union as the 34th state on January 29, 1861. (duh.) Kansas is 153 years young, and she barely looks a day over 140. Growing up, my school celebrated Kansas … Continue reading
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! What’s everyone up to today? I’m in Kansas City with my family for a whole week, which is both exciting and very, very cold. Between getting here, getting to Chicago to see my husband’s family, and getting back home, we will have been in six different airports in the course of … Continue reading
Oh man, we’re really getting down to brass tacks now, aren’t we? [Side note: what does ‘brass tacks’ mean? Am I even using that right? I feel like I’m too young to use an expression like that. Sigh.] Anyway, what I mean is — Christmas is almost here! As you can tell by the quality … Continue reading
Here’s a party foul I am frequently guilty of committing — getting completely obsessed with one of the party appetizers and hovering over the dish, shooing away anyone else from trying any. It’s a super classless way to behave, but I can’t seem to help it. I just love me some party apps! The last … Continue reading
Do you guys have any must-watch Christmas movies? You know, movies you make a point to watch every year? I’ll confess — the only one I make sure I get to absolutely every year is Love Actually. I love that movie unconditionally, so if you don’t — scram. I don’t know how they managed to … Continue reading
Happy Friday the Thirteenth! And, happy kickoff to OFFICIAL HOLIDAY PARTY WEEKEND. With next weekend being reserved for family time and having such a short space between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I feel like this weekend is our ONE SHOT to squeeze in as much merry-merry-merry as we possibly can. Are you ready? Because by Sunday … Continue reading
Is it too late for a pumpkin recipe? See, this is where foodblogging and real-life-being-a-person-ing kindof clash. Fancy foodbloggers make all their pumpkin recipes in August so that they have them ready to go once Labor Day hits. By the time it’s Thanksgiving, they’re already brainstorming corned beef and cabbage recipes for St. Patrick’s Day. … Continue reading
Long time no see! How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? We had a great time with my husband’s family — lots of fun times and delicious food. Seriously, the food was amazing. I’ve been reliving it ever since — sweet potatoes, stuffing, corn casserole, and yummy appetizers as far as the eye could see. I could’ve done … Continue reading
So apparently that statistic about more suicides happening during the holiday season isn’t actually true, but that doesn’t mean that this time of year can’t be busy and stressful and oversaturated with incredibly unhealthy food and drink. If you’re feeling the holiday stress, do three things for me. One, watch this. Two, watch it again. … Continue reading
