What was your new years resolution? To eat healthier? Well, you know it’s Saturday, so of course it’s time to share a sinfully sweet recipe with you! If you’ve made a resolution to avoid delicious sweets this year (or at least until February), you had better stop reading immediately. If you keep reading, please don’t […]

White Cheese and Chicken Lasagna
You know when you have one of those moments where you are praying that a) no one is watching, and b) a store has no security cameras? No, no, I didn’t steal anything, and I think my mistake can really be made by anyone. At least, that’s what I’ll tell myself. I love automatic doors. They are […]
“Why Women Need Fat” and Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe
I have a few pieces of fantastic news for you today. 1) I am going to tell you (if you’re a woman) about a book that explains why you need to eat more fat and why the fat you have is a healthy thing. 2) I have an awesome chocolate mousse recipe made with […]
Chicken, Brie & Pomegranate Wraps
Have you met my friend Brie? Well, truth be told, we’re more than friends. I am in love with Brie. I would take Brie for walks on the beach if I could, maybe to a nice restaurant. I would wine Brie and dine Brie. Well, I would dine on Brie with wine, at least. It’s […]

Serious S’mores Bars
I’ve had sex-in-a-pan, and I have to say it was disappointing. I’m not the biggest pudding fan, nor do I want to be eating pudding after someone has just mentioned the word sex. With that wildly inappropriate intro, let me get to the point before I lose you – THESE are worthy of a terrible […]
The Baby Naming Challenge
I have a rambunctious, dramatic, jealous, clingy, climbing, unreasonable, pushy, frustrating, totally loveable 16-month-old boy named Kristopher. Kristopher means “bearer of Christ”, which I love. But really, most days I’m surprised he has a name at all. Choosing a boy’s name just about killed me. It just about ended my marriage. It prevented me from […]
Fluffy Homemade Marshmallows
Happy New Year! My resolution: keep trying new things in the kitchen. Done and done. This year should be a breeze! I never thought I would be able to say, “I made homemade marshmallows”. But then again, I never really thought much about it at all. I have other things to think about. Like cheese. […]
