Do you guys remember how I stupidly dropped my iPhone while reaching for a big block of cheese at Whole Foods? And then — amazingly! — got it perfectly fixed by a sketchy guy in a garage for $85 cash? Dumb move turned into a lucky break, right? Well, in the words of Britney, oops … 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
In news that will surprise exactly zero people, I am beyond excited for Princess Kate’s three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand. She’s already knocked it out of the park with the amazing red coat she wore getting of the plane. Although apparently it is very windy down under, because it looks like she came … Continue reading
Hey friends! I need your help today. Well, not all of you need to help. In fact, only the ones of you who have been to New Orleans. Everyone else can scroll down to the recipe. SO. For the rest of you, those familiar with the Big Easy, where do you like to eat down … Continue reading

Still. … Continue reading

This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, but if you’re looking for a solid weeknight dinner cookbook, I really recommend The Essential Dinner Tonight Cookbook from Cooking Light. It’s full of simple, healthy and relatively easy recipes (including this, this, and this), and I’ve liked everything I’ve tried from it. The thing I really … Continue reading
This post is not going to be the first time I’ve whined about wanting to go on vacation, and the smart money’s on it not being the last, either. There are always a million reasons not to take a vacation, right? Money, planning, other commitments, etc. I have a bunch right now — my husband … Continue reading
Not that you’d know it from the weather, but today is the first day of May! And if we can’t celebrate with sunshine and flowers and even moderately temperate weather, at least we can look forward to the fact that Sunday is Cinco de Mayo and an excellent excuse to chow down on the Mexican … Continue reading
