Bowls! You know we love a good bowl. And this one has become our Monday night staple and I need you to obsess over it like I do. I do have one thing to add though. The salmon in this photo is not what I normally buy. My store was out of the pretty fillets, […]

Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeleeeedeeeeyeeeeeee. Ya know the scene in When Harry Met Sally when Sally and Joe are at the airport and she’s about to board, and Harry walks past her, does a double take, then keeps walking? With me so far? And then Sally goes, “Thank God he couldn’t place me, I drove from college to New […]
Creamy Sausage Soup with Kale and Farfalle
Let’s have soup! Also the kids are home for snow day #2 so we’re coping. This is coping. Slurp coping. I turned the Italian sausage into meatballs because who doesn’t love a meatball? It BEGS to be a meatball. And it’s creamy because January. But also has kale in it because life. Let us peepeth? […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrwelcome back! To Flotsam that is. We’re back. Back at it. Swinging bats. Just kidding I don’t know what that means. But do you want to know what I really really want? I’ll tell ya what I want, what I really really want. I need new pajamas. New PJs for 2024! I’ve said this for […]
2023 in Books!
Why yes I’m using the same photo from last year AND the year before but we’re unbothered by it. (my new word for 2024, but we’ll get back to that tomorrow.) Books! Let’s discuss. I read a total of 30 books in 2023. Which isn’t record-setting or anything. Matter of fact it’s significantly less than […]
Monthly Mixtape: Bone-Chilling Days and Firewood Haze
Well heeeeey, and Happy New Year! Let’s ease in, okay? We’ll start with music today. I have a mixtape for you and it’s probably and most definitely 100% what you need. It’s a lot of ’70s vintage with a splash of ’90s goodness with a hair of current. And by current I mean a Taylor […]
Puff Pastry Bites with Caramelized Onions, Fig Jam and Gorgonzola
How ’bout a lil’ nibble nibble? (<–sorry for that entire thing just now.) I’m always into little puff pastry bites. The way it flakes up in your mouth is illegally perfect. And then you add sweet caramelized onions and a pungent gorgonzola cheese and another sweet fig jam to it. Are you kidding? I’m not. […]
Let It Snow – Our Take!
It’s a throwback day! (Flotsam should return next week. We’ll see.) Yeaaaars and years ago Aaron and I decided that we needed to record a Christmas song in order to become rich and famous, like most artists do. And while that definitely did not happen (the rich and famous part), we still got a song […]
Chocolate Coconut Pie
I made you pie! I made us pie! I’m a pie maker! (not really.) Listen though, this is big. Big for me. I made a chocolate pie and it’s actually to die for. Look at that CENTER. Now I will say, I have the patience of a toddler hummingbird on crack, so I didn’t let […]
Christmas Wrapping Paper Style! And My Opinions on them.
Iiiiiiit’s aaaaaaaa wraaaaaaa- I wouldn’t do that to you. Maybe. (I would.) Let’s look back at the past NINE YEARS of my wrapping paper style and how it’s evolved! Or devolved? Look, just keep that to yourself. I obsess over a wrapping paper look. It’s a whole vibe. A whole thing. It carries the mood. […]
