28.4 weeks in, muthuuuuuz. MAN is this a total trip. An uncomfortable, gassy, heifer heavy, ribcage rampage, urination station of a trip. But first, could we talk about how J.C. Penny my expression is in this photo? I don’t usually look so wide-eyed, GOLLY-GOSH-IT’S-SUCH-A-SWELL-DAY, MATEY. Or maybe I do. Maybe it’s the new me? THE […]
Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
Meatless Monday! By total accident. Before we begin, I’d like to point out my jankidy jank pregnant woman avocado slices. Rugged, jagged, burning rebels in their own form. I didn’t even care to make them pretty. But you know what? My feet and legs and back and pancreas hurts, so we get James Dean avocado […]
Maternity Photos: I Promise There’s No Paint Involved
Happy Halloween! Let’s . . . look at some belly photos? I didn’t plan to post these on Halloween, but it’s just as well as I didn’t make anything ghoulish or goblinish. Actually, if I stand in the kitchen for too long these days *I* become a hairy, hunchback, snaggletoothed goblin myself. So showing you […]
Chipotle Chicken Chili + a Pioneer Woman Cookbook Giveaway!
(This giveaway is now closed. The answer to the question though? Friends!) Guess what rhymes with Ree? CHEELEE. Okay not so much. But guess what yesterday was? The release of Ree’s new Holidaaaay coooookboooooook! (said like Oprah) I’ve already licked every page. Thrice. Obviously the book is completely fabulous, filled with crystal clear step-by-step instructions, […]
Mini Jalapeno Polenta Cakes {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
These. These are absolute insanity. I probably should have shown you these long before Halloween so you could add them to your menu, but as you can see, I’ve not posted a Tablespoon Tuesday post since we landed on the moon. I have an excuse! They launched a new site and there were bugs and […]
Angel Hair with a Tomato Meat Sauce
I feel like all I ever show you is pasta. You’re welcome? But this one is different because there’s a major MAJOR James Bond trickster secret I pulled in it. Well, to be fair, Aaron first pulled this trickster secret on me, causing a no-way-you’re-kidding-smoochy-high-five-flip out, thus propelling my neurotic interests into overdrive, causing me […]
Creamy Vegetable Pasta
Fridaaaaay! Time for something creamy. Also, there’s frost on the ground. FA-ROST. I guess it makes sense, as it’s late October, but whoa-train. Also, how gross that I just said whoa-train. It might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever vocalized (but probably not) and I officially recoil it now. Oh! Name this movie: “ReeeeeCOIL, reeeeeeVERSE, […]
Kansas City Baby Shower!
I’ve been meaning to post about my KC baby shower since 1974, but with my lame computer in and out and in and out of the hospital, I was terrified the photos were going to disappear into the abyss-o-sphere and I’d never see them again. But we’re all good! And now I can show you! […]
Soup with Sausage Meatballs, White Beans and Kale
I don’t think I’d call this a wedding soup. More like an elopement soup? Because the willy nilly factor is maj nil. There are no flowers to be ordered, no cake to taste test, no dress to lose weight for, nothing. It’s just hop in the car, sign a paper, I do or whatever, and […]
Pizza with Fig Preserves, Caramelized Onions and Chicken Sausages
I got my computer back! Thrice now. I’m terrified to talk about it because I’m afraid it will send the fragile little muthuh back into cardiac arrest. So I’ll just whisper it . . . y a a a y. Okay so pizza! Of course. Why not. It’s full-blown chilly outside and my belly doth […]
