Forgive me, it’s taken a global pandemic for me to find you again… and yet, two years and two kids later, my little piece of the internet remains. It has survived neglect, domain and hosting renewals, lost and recovered passwords, and somehow through the miracle of auto-pay, we find ourselves here, together again. The current […]
This isn’t the first time a granola recipe has graced the pages of this blog… but guys, this is by far, times-1-million, the best granola that I have ever made. Drop everything and make it right now, RIGHT NOW! I’ve eaten it plain, with milk, on yogurt, on ice cream, doesn’t matter – just get […]
It’s officially October, which means it’s totally acceptable for me to stuff my face with everything pumpkin from the minute that I wake up (helloooooo pumpkin spice lattes and creamer) to the minute I go to bed (one more slice of pumpkin cheesecake please). That’s at least what I tell myself. Here’s another fun fact that I […]
In this 8-month preggo gal’s opinion, it’s never too early to prepare for the holidays, and Grandma Galdin’s signature rocky road is easily the most popular item requested of The Galdin clan every holiday season. Maybe September is a bit early to start referring to the “holiday season” but when you’re pregnant, you can make the […]
You know how people say that you should leave well enough alone? Well this is an example of a time when those people were wrong. I’m all for a traditional deviled egg, but sometimes you can make good even better. The addition of pork products almost always helps achieve near perfection. Case in point? Cajun […]
I bought in bulk. And while we’re at it.. here’s my list of things that are 100% appropriate to buy in bulk: Cases of wine. For the discount, obviously. Coffee. Since you most certainly don’t want to know me on the morning where I’ve run out. Dog treats. I believe in bribery, it’s effective with […]
The holidays are for gluttony, am I right? I swear to you there is only one time of year that I feel completely justified in making truffles, and that is when the clock strikes midnight on Halloween and it officially becomes “the holidays.” Christmas music fills my head, pumpkin-spice everything haunts my every waking moment, […]
Sometimes a throw-back is just oh-so-right. A classic red lip, some leg warmers, a Nat King Cole christmas song… all have a time and place, and when done correctly, it just works. Today I bring you a throw-back cookie, the classic Oatmeal Raisin. I’ve dressed it up a bit for your eating pleasure, adding some […]
Folks, I spend a lot of time in airports, during which I have time to ponder life, love, and poor snack choices. Today, I bring you a break from my normal food follies, and allow you a window into the mind of a frequent flier. 1. Wisdom while waiting: Boarding the plane, followed by […]
Miss me? Forgive me, I’ve been away too long. But I’ve been busy. Between work and a wedding this little lady has been a busy little bee.
