Warning: What you are about to read may be disturbing and unsettling to some readers. It has been rated OMG. Until tonight, I’ve never had mole sauce. Please, before you throw your computer out the nearest window, let me explain. I’m not even entirely sure I knew what it was until this year. And I’m […]
No, it’s not too early for pasta. You see, here in approximately 15 minutes, I’m headed to Whole Foods for my weekly grocery run. Whole Foods is to foodies what Disney World is to kids. If I’m not properly prepared for this trip, I’ll end up spending my retirement savings on Himalayan pink salt and […]
My house is crying. It looks and feels like someone had surgery a few days ago. It’s calling out to me, begging for attention. I think I even heard a snarky whisper, “stop blogging and start making me pretty already.” I point to the man with the missing nose and say, “do you SEE what […]
I know. I know. I cooked shrimp like 5 minutes ago. But when the man with the dangling nose requests shrimp with green beans and rice, I obey. I jump up and down like a 5-year old girl about to pee her pants because she loves shrimp so much, then I get to cooking. I […]

Still no? Okay the laughing hurts. Baked Chicken Sausage with Cannellini Beans and Swiss Chard: What it […]
Aaah Halloween. The perfect excuse to scare yourself silly watching movies,to eat way too much chocolate and tootsie rolls and to hand out the same sugar bombs to the future of our world. I love it. This weekend was especially nice because we spent the Holiday weekend with our in-laws and sister-in-law. After 48 hours […]
I’d sit here for hours and tell you all about the fantastic weekend we had with our family if I didn’t have a kitchen to clean, candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters and a stack of classic Halloween movies to watch cozy by the fire. I’ll share tomorrow, promise! As well as the festive dinner […]
Our family is almost here, Aaron is inflating the blow up mattress and my house is spotless. Zen, people. Plus, dinner was ready before I could type “our family is almost here, Aaron is inflating the blow up mattress and my house is spotless.” I ain’t even kiddin’ y’all. Simple Garlicky Shells: What it took […]
