Is there such thing as a cozy summer dessert? There is now, Chachi. And listen up, you can grill these! The original recipe (which I’ll show you) is from a lovely cookbook that I was gifted this summer (thank you, Jessica!) after hosting a mom summer party on my back garden patio. And the peaches […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooloodoomoonoogoo! We’re going to Worlds of Fun today. Well, tonight. Later later on today. 4pm. Ya know, when the temperature’s at its absolute most brutal. It’s okay though! I’m going to take scarves for us all and wet them down at every mister. If you don’t know what Worlds of Fun is, it’s an amusement […]
The feta dip! AKA: the rest of your summer. Pardon me if I’m completely unhinged in this post, because I don’t think I realized just how insane this is. I don’t think you do either. A no-cook situation (besides toasted baguette but even that is optional when it comes down to it), and all the […]
Another creamy pasta for you! Sorry? You’re welcome? Oh no? Yay? You pick. This one has CORN in it. BASIL in it. RED ONION in it. So there are multiple avenues of excitement to peruse today. And the cream – you can go full heavy whipping, you can go half and half, you can go […]
I’ve been wanting to make something like this for the blog FOREVUUUUUR. (Sandlot style) Well, pigeons, today’s the day. You see this type of crunchy cucumber salad all over the place. Can it be called a salad even? Sure. We’re doing it. It’s embarrassingly easy and you’ll need to peruse the pantry to throw this […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrewlewbewhew. Okay FIRST: this book. Mad Honey. I’m nearing page 200 and completely swallowed. I will say, I have yet to get to any twists, which SO many of you have excitedly prepared me. I’m trying to imagine what that would even look like. But it’s great. And frustrating. I mean I believe him! I’m […]
Giiiiiiiirl. I got your new favorite summer spaghetti right here. Complete dreamboat situation. Lemony, garlicky, creamy, crisped pancetta! It’s the type of pasta that feels like you’re in another country. But in reality you’re actually just shoveling it into your pie hole over the stove in pajamas after a hot day at the pool like […]
It’s summer in a wrap, bay-buh! And I’ll tell you this now, it’s everything you’ve ever needed. It has CRUNCH. It has cool and creamy. It has toasted tortillas. I don’t even need to mention the tomatoes and red onion, right? I’m telling you, summer perfection. Let us peepeth. I didn’t get a chance to […]
Fffffffffffffffrit’s TAYLOR SWIFT DAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I’d like to formally extend a premature apology to all those around me today in a physical capacity. This girl is rested and rarin’ to go. But this is the thing. I can’t rightly focus. I’ve been unhealthily following the weather like a psycho (oh you would, too) and the rain […]
Another summer, another song! You know our summer family tradition of traveling to Little Rock, Arkansas, where my parents live, along with my sister Barbara and her husband Dustin, and their girls Breckon and Leighton. I know you know this! I’m just telling you again. Want me to say all that one more time? Just […]
