I put blue cheese first in the title because BLUE CHEESE. Okay, let’s talk about New Year’s Eve, please. What do you do?! Venture out? Hermit in? Invite your best pals over to play Pictionary?

Sausage and Smoked Gouda Phyllo Cups
Four ingredients. FOUR. Four! f o u r. And one of them is cheese, so you’re clearly already ahead in life. Let’s talk Christmas appetizers! My goal here for you is ease. You know those old-school sausage cheese balls that we all made in the ’80s and ’90s for the church potlucks? OKAY, it’s that, […]
No-Churn Rocky Road Ice Cream
AS IN, you can make this today or right now. Listen, it’s the second half of the summer. The heat and humidity have maliciously teamed up to make every waking second of our lives A YUCKY, SLOPPY, STICKY LIVING HELL. Revenge? Now traditionally, I do know that rocky road ice cream simply consists of chocolate […]
Flatout Flatbread Pizza with Grilled Broccoli Pesto and Prosciutto
(This post is definitely in partnership with Flatout Flatbread. But all flatbread inhaling and ramblings are totally my own. We coo?) FLATBREAAAAAAAD. Remember how I used to say that a lot back in my early blogging days? Remember this? You’re like, “DUDE I HAD BLOCKED THAT.” Well I made you another one, and there’s nothing […]
Egg, Potato and Ham Bake for Two
Oh, girl. I have an idea for your Mother’s Day breakfast and I want this to be any part, some part and all parts of it. Hashtag goat cheese? But this is the thing. You should know, this entire recipe was built around that small cast iron skillet casserole dish thingy. I’m a bona fide […]
Green Spring Breakfast
SPRING IS NEXT WEEK. (sorry to scream.) Do you remember in that one Gilmore Girls episode when Richard’s had a heart issue and he’s in the hospital, and Emily’s running around all distracted about FISH and the HOUSE and her JUMPSUIT and what not? And Lorelai’s all, “Mom, simmer it.” And Emily’s all, “WHAT, FISH […]
How To Make the Worst DIY Snow Globes Ever.
Also known as, the day Christmas crafting turned its back on me. I almost didn’t post this. Because frankly, these DIY snow globes totally blow. But then I thought, “You know what, it’s my job to watch out for fellow crafters out there. Make sure they take no wrong turns in craft life! Lead them […]
Mini Chocolate Pudding Galettes
Dessert! We seriously, desperately need dessert. And not only is it a dessert, it’s more like a Thanksgiving/Holiday/Life HACK. Because you guys, it’s chocolate pudding in those galettes. As in, those clever little boxes of chocolate pudding. Open, mix, heat up, stir, done. I’m not being tacky! I’m being HACKY. (<–I’m making shirts.) Also, cream […]
New Year’s Eve Appetizer Roundup!
HEY, GIRL, HEY. So. New Year’s Eve is in like, five minutes, and we need to talk food! Are you cooking? Going out? Having a party? Staying in and safe under your bed? I haven’t had a lick of time to prep anything new, so I thought a simple roundup (roundup? round-up? round up? up […]
Friday Flotsam Eve. I mean Christmas Eve.
I realize there are two photos of my mantel in this post. And back to back. And they’re the only two photos IN this post. But I wanted you to see it in the daylight! My logic is sound. And I won’t keep you! I just wanted to pop in real quick to wish you […]
