Hey-ohhhhh, November! I’m giving you guys a repeat. We’re in that season of life of WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS. New furnace. (ouch) Sick dog. (she’s all good.) Wonky TV. (found a janky solution for now.) Dead car (officially car shopping and I hate it.) But! – I’m not naturally a complainer, just explaining why […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeedeeeeleeeemeemmmeeemmemee. What kind of retinol do you use? Like at night. What brand? What percentage? What formula? What voodoo potion of yesterlore of the ancient tales of yonder? Is that the way you say it? I ask because I was in the middle of a little pumpkin enzyme facial yesterday, and the lady goes, “Honey […]
Sort of Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Okay. I say “sort of” because there are three cups of cream in this! THREE! THA-REE. We’re fine. It looks way brothier than I anticipated, but it was still heavenly we’re wrapping our heads (and mouths) around sort-of creamy chicken noodle soup. And it’s basically French because there’s tarragon in it. Ha! Never mind. Let […]
Baked Brie with Pecans and Rosemary
New obsession if you don’t mind me saying. Everyone loves a baked brie. Name someone who doesn’t lose their sh*t over a baked brie. (We’re leaving Aaron out of this situation.) Ya can’t! We’re into baked bries. Some are wrapped in puff pastry, others are baked as is and get draped with various sweet or […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrace day tomorrow!!! (!!!!!) . (!) I’m feeling ready. I’m feeing great. I have a teeny weeny two miles left to run today and it’s an official wrap on half marathon training. I cannot believe it. Remember when I started this back in June?! Bananas. The hardest part for me during this training was reaching […]
Cheesy Baked Chicken and Tomatoes
Obscenely simple dinner alert! Get excited. When I say we barely do anything, I mean . . . we barely do anything. There’s some dicing. That’s about it. The rest is a nestle/sprinkle/bake situation that will have you teary by the end of this post. And listen, I made the crusty bread because I’m working […]
Roasted Cabbage with Bacon and Ranch
New favorite side dish! Don’t even try to argue. Have you ever roasted your cabbage? This was my first time (I know!) and I was floored. It’s a whole thing. A whole experience. A whole mood. And we’re doing it today so that you can be blown away too and forever altered. Let us peepeth. […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I need to get back into pies! Lit-rally hadn’t planned on typing those words until they just came out of my fangies. Tell me something, and this is going to sound so silly, but (and I could google this but you’re cuter) are chess pies (like the word CHESS) the word I’m looking for […]
Creamy Penne Pasta with Spinach and Sundried Tomatoes
Hiyaaaaaa, a new weeknight fave. (not fav) Remember I mentioned that I would be bringing in more few-ingredient dinners for your busy fall? I feel like I said that to you. Didn’t I? Crud, maybe I didn’t. Maybe I said it in my head but forgot to vocalize via fingertips in here. WAIT, I DID. […]
Monthly Mixtape: Crooning Jukebox and Hot Roller Locks
It’s my 100th public mixtape! Also yes I keep posting photos of my garden because little else matters. You can dig. I realized recently that I’ve never made a 1950s mixtape. Never! Not once! I mean, I’ll throw a few gems in other mixes, but nothing straight-up dedicated to that decade slash era. The horror! […]
