Deceeeeembruh, bruh! My kids were in charge of the tinsel, don’t judge. So listen, Nat has the stomach bug (of course), so I’ll keep this short so I can make sure she barfs her saltines into a bowl and not on my white rug. But first! – TUNES. Christmas tunes, y’all. I’ll warn (tempt?) you […]
Knack Gift Boxes!
Ohhhhhh do I have a fun gift idea for you! Not only are these gift boxes super stylish and fun to put together, it’s small business support. BIPOC-owned support. Women-owned support. Something amazing you get behind while getting that holiday list narrowed down to zilch. Boom. It’s called Knack. Have you heard of them? A […]
Roasted Carrot Garlic Dip
It’s not quiiiiiite a hummus. I know that’s what you’re wondering. It’s not. But look at this. I mean my lands, you guys. It’s very simple, and a complete showstopper. And it’s just a dip! But all hail the dips because this one is absolutely killer. And you just may need to whip this up […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRoopy doopy loopy! WHOA. GUYS. So last weekend in Stories I made a strata reference from a Christmas movie. You know the one – The Family Stone. But this is the thing, about 1/3rd of the poll submitters (submitters?) didn’t know the movie! And there were thousands of submitters! (submitters cannot be right) Which is […]
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cake
He…he….here we go, y’all! The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cake. (I baked!) Right in time for the big day. (I baked!) My Wannabe Baker Chronicles continue, you guys. This time in pumpkin form. Which, okay. POOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLAH! Are you a pumpkin fan? (I’m not looking at you, pumpkin spiced latte fans.) I mean like really. Pumpkin […]
French-Inspired Chicken and Dumplings
With a shortcut! But also a bit from-scratch. Best of both worlds, bunnies. (no bunnies were harmed in the making of this chicken and dumplings.) So the reason I’m using frozen veggies (don’t turn up your nose yet!) is because I’ve had a bag in my freezer batting its eyes at me for weeks and […]
Friday Flotsam
FFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Of COURSE it’s Paul Rudd. Why on earth would it not be Paul Rudd? It’s always been Paul Rudd. I know everyone’s laughing, everyone’s scratching their heads, everyone’s (even him which makes it that much better) confused and like whaaa? But I knew it all along. I’ve known it since CLUELESS, you guys. Well, […]
Holiday Gift Guide 2021!
A gift guiiiiiide! It’s been so long since I’ve put together one of these, how fun. This thing has a little bit of everything, because I know how overwhelming it can be to think about gifting, the budget, what’s actually necessary, but still thoughtful and sweet, yadda yadda yadda. I’ll tell you now, the most […]
French Onion Sandwiches
Ummmmmm. You know the soup. We all know the soup. It’s a famous soup. Well this? This is the sandwich version. In my head at least. It’s crusty, sweet, savory, tangy, criminal. And listen, normally I dish up (haha) super simple and quick recipes for you all, but this one is a labor of love, […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! r! r? POOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLAH! (jumping right in) Okay, I feel like this year especially the Internet is showing us VERA TEW two different camps of people regarding October 31st vs. November 1st. And that is – Christmas People. (said like Summer People in all Elin Hilderbrand novels) And it reminds me of that popular meme […]
