Here are some weirdo facts for ya. 1. I’m terrible at the dishes. You’d think living my life as a grown-up lady without a dishwasher for over 10 years that I’d have it together, but I don’t. I have to rewash stuff all the time. 2. When there’s a fly in the house I hold Elliot up and he catches it. Every time. He can catch flies, you guys. It’s like the dog skill equivalent…
It’s fall, you guys. Turn the oven up and the heat down! Below are my current favorite things! A weird mishmash of kitchen things, edibles, and beauty biz. 12 Fall Favorites: one // These Salt & Pepper Shakers make me so happy. They were the best surprise! I plan on keeping them on display for my whole life. AND the holes are big enough for kosher salt which I think is just super thoughtful. Looking for cute…
I spent the weekend catching up on New Girl and couch napping. I ate breakfast for lunch and started a cinnamon roll diet. I thought about whether I have things in common with Tina Turner, walked around my favorite antique store for zen reasons, and then capped the weekend off with sushi and beers. But now it’s the work-week, and it’s ok because I’ve got these cinnamon rolls to see me through. I left a small pan of…
I don’t know when I stopped eating cereal… I think my mornings have gotten cut short in the breakfast department. The truth is, I’d rather have waffles anyway. And so I figured I should Sunday brunch it waffle-style and freeze a bunch for mornings during the week. Then I can toast them, cut them, dunk them, and eat them as casually as I would cereal, or a granola bar, or a yogurt parfait situation. I’m just…
Because my freezer is forever stocked, grandma-style, with pizza dough, waffles, and (now) cookies. Because I paint pumpkins, real-quick, after work and before dinner. Because I sometimes pick beers over runs and granola bars over lunch and sleeping in over timeliness. Because I want to pack my favorite books in my work bag, just-in-case, and because I slept better in California than anywhere it seems, and because I feel more like myself now than I…
What’s been up, guys? Here’s some stuff that’s been going on. (Warning: this stuff is REAL crazy.) So, my mom bought me a mum plant. It was only a week before I realized it was missing! And by missing, I mean it blew off the porch and had dried out to a tumbleweed. (Sorry, mom!) I’m the worst at plants. AND then, I might’ve made Lemon Lentil Soup for a casual Monday dinner and forgot dill…
Last weekend my friend Katie and I drove off to Cleveland to eat ice cream, sip beers, do cartwheels on grassy knolls, have real talk, wear shortie-shorts, and see my boyfriend’s band play. We fit a lot of eating and fun into this overnighter. Below is a little list of links in case you pop into the city and are looking for stuff to do/eat. Thanks to my girl Jessica for all the awesome food/fun recommendations! EAT…
Hey guys, let’s host dessert parties every weekend for the rest of summer, ok? Ice cream dinners, and á la mode weeks. I want my Thursdays to be like my sundaes, ya know? So check out this little party I did for Betty Crocker, if you want. Set up a table with pie crust options, fillings, and toppings. Set out your favorite ice cream cups and mis-matched spoons. Get crazy and put oreo in the lemon curd,…
Sunday dinner was a big deal growing up. After church you eat a full meal. Main dish! Sides! Dessert! No nonsense. Even now my grandma will ask, “But who do you eat Sunday dinner with?!” And I usually tell her that my Sundays are normally full of brunch, bike rides, and rarely a big sit-down lunch with family in church clothes followed by dessert, coffee, and naps. This last Sunday was different though. I made a…
This drink is my favorite. I kinda won’t shut up about it. Sorry, guys. But mostly once you make it you’ll probably want to shout it from the rooftops too. And if you don’t have a rooftop, then maybe from the top of your picnic table like the neighbor dog that barks incessantly and sounds like he swallowed a speaker and then is barking through it somehow. It is really the un-cutest especially at 2am, however…
