Last year my guy spent Thanksgiving with my family. I was thrilled. Clearly, I thought the whole thing went perfectly. However, we failed to serve sweet potatoes (his favorite part of Thanksgiving), and then screwed up the gravy (which he likes to create a shallow pool the length of his entire dinner plate). At the […]
I’m totally one of those people that freaks out when Starbucks starts to serve Pumpkin Spice Lattes and the canned pumpkin starts to be featured in the end caps at the grocery store. Shocker, right? Have I told you about the time that someone convinced me there was a pumpkin shortage? Well, that happened. Not […]
I’ve made a lot of macaroni and cheese in my day. One might call me an expert in all things mac and cheese. In spite of that, I’m not ashamed to say that usually, the good ol’ Kraft Macaroni and Cheese tastes a heck of a lot better than the fancy-shmancy stuff. There’s something to […]
I’m fortunate enough to have many amazing women in my life. One of which, Nancy, is like a second Mom to me. Nancy is amazing in the kitchen. She makes a homemade spaghetti sauce that is requested at least once a month, every month, by family and friends. Plus, I’m pretty certain that every single […]
I celebrated my birthday recently and was lucky enough to be surrounded by my friends and family. My amazing parents opened up their home so I could host a big pool party with 30 or so of the loveliest people in my life. I was a few delicious adult beverages into the festivities when a […]

Blog friends, I must apologize, I haven’t posted in ages. Never fear, I’m going to make it up to you… with video. A girlfriend of mine came over the other night and filmed me cooking, and then in an interview about the blog. It’s adorable, horrifying, lisp-y, and me at my very finest… drinking wine […]
Lemon ricotta pillows of happiness. I mean, honestly, what does the fact that I strung those words together into a sentence say about me? Don’t answer that. It feels wrong, right? Ricotta cheese in your cookies. I know, but trust me, it tastes so, so right. I promise these cookies aren’t going to taste like […]
We’re trying something new today, folks… and something tells me you’re going to like it. Why, you ask? Well, because it includes tequila. I’ve yet to make you any cocktails, and generally that’s because I’m the world’s worst bartender. That being said, I do make this one thing… this one thing with tequila, that should […]
This girl has a Momma who can eat the SAME thing every single day for months. I am NOT one of those people- I am one of those people that has to keep one hundred and twelve snacks on my person at any given time just in case my mood or appetite might change and […]
