‘Tis the season for cheeseboards! And by that I mean it’s always the season for cheeseboards. But espeeeeecially now. (insert jingle bells and giant turkeys and Santa hats and Cousin Eddie in a black dickie.) Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK, you guys (I still don’t see how this is possible since last week was the Fourth […]

Mini Olive Oil and Corn Bundt Cakes
Well LOOK WHO MADE US DESSERT. (spoiler alert: me.) Remember olive oil cakes?? Not that they used to be a thing and no longer are a thing. But I feel like olive oil cakes would fit into that “just like my grandma used to make” category. Along with pink sponge hair rollers and Virginia Slims […]
Apple, Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Cups
Have you ever seen anything you’d like to stick in your purse AND snuggle AND inhale simultaneously? Apple cups, you guys. Apple cuppies. With savory cheese and ham – yowza boo. The thing about this. . . . snack (?) . . . after-school treat (?) . . . fun fall picnic lunch (?). . […]
Chocolate, Cheese and Wine – Oh My!
You had to see it coming. I don’t think there’s anything greater in this life than a) those three words back to back, and b) eating those three words side by side. And let me just say, I’m no cheeseboard pro! Because I feel like it’s all in the mix and match, try this and […]
Buttermilk-Brined Cornish Game Hens with a Rustic Kale Gratin
Another Valentine’s Day meal that I’m forcing upon you! Also, these hens are upside down. I’m just getting this out of the way right here, right now. I roasted them upside down. You may now kick me out of the blogosphere and life. The embarrassing thing is, this almost happened at Thanksgiving, too! Carolyn and […]
The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of My Sister’s Voice
Changing it up today! Because it’s Christmas and I’m feeling naughty. Remember back in August when we drove to Arkansas to see new houses and to celebrate my birthday and to eat stinky cheeses and drink rosé on blankets outside and hug necks of my friends and fam? This photo is from that trip! JK. […]
Gingerbread Cookies with Simple Decorating
Because I’m lazy and can’t bloody decorate a gingerbread man properly. That’s the full title. But look how cute! And EASY. That has to be key. If I’m sitting around with a piping bag, a glass of wine and a colossal lack of precision, I will straight up ruin Christmas. We can’t have that. So […]
DeLallo Gourmet Gift Boxes! All the Noshing.
You know me and a good nibble spread. I feel like I’m constantly posting overheads of nosh spreads. It’s a sickness from which I never want to be healed. But this one is boomtastic BECAUSE it’s just in time for all your holiday party madness. (“I’m ready to par-taaaaaaaaayyyyy with-thaaa-best-of-them-and I’m gonna go down TO […]
Mulled Rosé Wine
UM, YOUR NEW WINTER LIFE. Mulled rosé. MULLED ROSÉ. I know. You guys. It is a thing and it is happening right at this moment and things are officially looking up for all of us. MULLED ROSÉ. Just let that sink in for a second. And the thing is, this is so easy! Most of […]
How to Survive an Indoor Toddler Craft Day
YES THAT IS GLITTER, mamas just take a deep breath. So yeah. We totally got a jump on Valentine’s Day crafting like two weeks ago because the kids WILL NOT stop singing Christmas songs. Is this happening to anyone else? Seriously, all I hear all day long, “AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR POOP.” Mind […]
