Is it dessert or breakfast? Or both? Whatever you choose to call it, it’s your business. Let’s eat cake! You in? Peepeth is underway. I ended up using only one lemon, but I’m still a good person. We’re putting yogurt in it which will add this smooth, tangy element to it, and girl, it’s pretty […]

Weeknight Chicken Nachos
Hello, my favorite new wing-it weeknight PLATTER ‘O BLISS. But I’m not dramatic about it or anything. Nachos. We all love them. We all forget what an easy whip-it-up situation they can be and completely are. This isn’t even really a recipe. It’s just a springboard to get that noggin of yours juiced up (sorry) […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeederrerereree! If you were a mall, what stores would you have? That’s an odd question, let me revamp that. Let’s say you were the PLAZA. The KC Plaza. And you were getting bought by new owners, and they needed a list of stores to bring to the Plaza, what would those stores be besides Aesop, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Crooning Jukebox and Hot Roller Locks
It’s my 100th public mixtape! Also yes I keep posting photos of my garden because little else matters. You can dig. I realized recently that I’ve never made a 1950s mixtape. Never! Not once! I mean, I’ll throw a few gems in other mixes, but nothing straight-up dedicated to that decade slash era. The horror! […]
Rigatoni with Roasted Tomatoes, Arugula and Bacon
Let’s have pasta! But like, with bacon. (I felt the collective perk-up.) But listen, we’re also violently throwing in some arugula so it could really pass for a salad. Don’t quote me on that. This is one of those meals that falls under whatever theme I came up with at the beginning of the year. […]
Spiced Pork with Coconut Noodles
I already can’t wait for your new life. Because wipe your glasses and look again. YES, girl. It’s silky coconut noodles topped with spiced (like, Chinese 5-spice. get on board.) pork, sautéed veggies and buckets of fresh crunchy things on top. Yuh huh. Yeppers. (Aaron h a t e s the word peppers. I say […]
Friday Flotsam
Flooooooogy! I mean Froogy. Floody. Friigy. Friiddy. Friday. I need help! You’re like, UNSUBSCRIBE. So, I’m speaking at Indulge Conference in LA in like, two weeks (omg), and I need to write my (45-minute! omg) presentation. But . . . I’m stuck. I don’t know what to saaaaayyyyaaaa. Oh don’t look so shocked. The presentation […]
What We’re Diggin’! (Late Summer 2015)
Welcome to round two of . . . What Weeee’re Diggin’! (said like, “come oooon down.”) The series upon which I (over)share my family’s current obsessions and infatuations, a smooch of DIY silliness and a few other thangs we’re givin’ a go. I’m especially excited about this post, thanks to a handful of rad sponsors. […]
How I Met Your Father
Kids, I’m going to go ahead and just get this first photo out of the way, so that by the end of this post your stomach muscles will have kicked the lid off the tickle box and burned it down. As the date above shows, this was the year 2000. (said like Conan) But it […]
My Granddaddy
I lost my granddaddy yesterday. Even at 91 years old, and having lived an extremely charmed and fulfilling life, there’s still something that aches. Grandparents aren’t supposed to die. Sadly, it was a long time coming, with a failing this and an ailing that. But it was the unexpected diagnosis of pancreatic cancer that took […]
