It’s opposite day! Not really. Actually, this weird arctic nostril blast makes the weather feel like opposite day. But not like, opposite opposite. More like, not really accurate. I’m not making sense. Let’s talk about this flip flop shepherd’s pie! This was the thing. I wanted to EAT the shepherd’s pie, but I didn’t want […]
Friday Flotsam
Friiiiiidee.dee.dee.dee.dee. That’s not an actual song, I’m just an extreme weirdo-tron. Okay so I’m just going to jump right in. Remember that video that was filmed at my house back in August? It’s live! I was hired to be a baker (hahaha) for Foodsaver. But let me warn you of a few things. (aka: my […]
Beer-Battered Fried Calamari Pizza
Babies and pizza! Not to be confused with babies IN pizza. Or babies ON pizza. Or baby pizza. Jess, I’ve been waiting months (years, CENTURIES . . . MILLENNIUMS) to tell you something of utmost vital importance. This is your virtual baby showeeeerrrr! (said like Oprah) Ashley and I came together and rounded up 9257345234 […]
Friday Flotsam
Boo! You were scared. Admit it. Happy Halloween! I always feel like Halloween is the gateway to the holiday season. The entrance to madness-ville. The portal to crazy town. From here on out it’s full speed ahead! I’m terrified. Hold me? Quick story! The above photo, okay, so last Thursday night was the opening reception […]
Homemade Baby Food. Four Recipes, Yo.
Okay, you guys, baby food is ugly. This has been your warning. But it’s soooo easy to make and I just couldn’t get through this phase without sharing a few of my go-to purees for the gremlins. And no, they’re not going to be gremlins for Halloween. Which actually breaks my heart because I seriously […]
That Time I Peed and Passed Out At the Dentist
Oh don’t act so surprised. Let me set the scene for you real quick. As if imagining me on the floor, lights out with urine soaking through my designer denim wasn’t enough. It was the summer of 2004. I had just moved to Kansas City a few months before, so as I began to settle […]
Friday Flotsam
So I’m a couple of flotsam days late. Will you flotsam forgive me? Isn’t it so cool that these tree and nature photos are the very first ones you’ve seen yet this fall? Or probably ever!? I don’t know how I do it. I will say, it’s absolutely insane in KC right now. The colors, […]
Snoopits: The Walls Edition
Ahhhh, welcome to the second edition of Snoopits! The series that allows me to pretend I’m cool enough for you to want to snoop around my crib. All the while realizing there will never be a world or lifetime in which I am cool enough to say the word crib. So what we have here […]
One-Pan Chicken Spaghetti Bake
Yes I have eight enormous photos but it’s worth it! Today it’s all about this dish. No willy nilly. No riff raff. No bamboozle caboodle. No swindley bimbly. No flim flam shim sham. No hornswoggle hoodwinky dinky boodonky konk. It’s one pan. It’s dried pasta. It’s uncooked everything. It’s blanketed in cheese. And it WORKS. […]
Friday Flotsam
FRAHDEEEE. I baked a cake! Not because it’s Friday. It was my dad’s birthday last week, so I took my fears by the horn (frosting?) and got after it. They popped through town (my parents, not the frosting) for a few days on their way to Branson. However, I suspiciously think they mainly came to […]
