Frrrrrrreeeeeeeeennnnnnddeeeeeeeennnnnnnd! We have nothing this weekend. (!!) No plans. Nothing. Nada. At all. Zip. Zilch. No soccer. No football. NERTHRIN. Which means I plan to fill it up immediately. Ha! Oh. But in the ways that *I* want to. And one of those things I need your help on, because we’re going to brainstorm our […]
We all have a chicken chili up our sleeve. But here’s another one for you! But listen, it’s SIMPLE. That’s the name of the game here. Zero frills. All chills. (that made sense in my head.) You’ll dump a bunch of stuff in a slow cooker and let it do its thing for as long […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrappy Halloweeeeeen! Now listen. Before we go any further here today, we need to address a serious topic. A sensitive issue. I don’t like to bring it up just as much as the next Joe. But. It needs to be said. Here and now. The supreme Halloween candy is, and will always be a Snickers […]
You know we’re in full-on Slurp Season, right? Right. And this creamy potato and broccoli soup might just do you in forever. Not only is it a complete cinch to pull together, it’s like a giant hug. You will feel so happy. So, so happy. We’ll cube up a few russet potatoes. We’ll take a […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriday! (<–didn’t see that coming, eh?) Okay, I’m surprised at the amount of people in my stories who don’t know what a Boo Bag is! Is this a regional thing? A midwest thing? There were a few messages from the New England area asking what the heck a boo bag is….what!! It’s just a bag […]
We’re talking about six ingredients here so I feeeeeeel like you’ll diggeth. Polenta is often overlooked, and I think that is a life catastrophe. It’s creamy, it’s comforting, it’s simple to make and screaaaaams home. Plus the bag lasts forever. You only need one cup at a time to make a few heaping servings. (I […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsamflot! Do you guys want to know what kind of mini stroke my brain had this week? I’m almost embarrassed to tell you. Almost. I was skimming some early-bird Christmas list on some site, read the word “wristlet” and was like, what? Wristlet? What is that? You mean bracelet? Then the photo a few lines […]
One-pan-dinner alert! (Also it has spinach in it so it’s basically a salad. Don’t tell anyone I said that.) This right here? It’s what these autumn nights are made for. Comforting, flavorful, creamy, decadent without feeling like a total gut bomb. And you saw the thing about it being in one skillet, right? Right. We’ll […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-special edition coming to you today! Life of a Showgirl Edition. Are we even ready for it? I need your initial thoughts on the album. The vibes. The messages. The sounds. The production. The lyrics. I have to be honest, it’s not really what I expected. And I’m so glad! Hahahah. Don’t get me wrong, […]
This one thing I know: we need NOTHING but jazz today. This month. This whole season. (obviously outside of Life of a Showgirl, natch.) Today’s mixtape is already one of my most favorites. It’s almost an hour and a half of fantastic jazz. All instrumental, all mood boosting, all vibes that give Nancy Meyers kitchens […]
