Facebook friends. Mostly they make me feel unproductive, unsexy, and unsmart. They are always DOING things, looking CUTE, and posting links to interesting articles or pulling out pithy quotes that I’m unsure if they made up themselves or lifted from Eleanor Roosevelt. But, being a pretty unaffected-by-others person, I love me some Facebook. While these […]
Baked Lemon Parmesan Risotto
Today’s recipe is brought to you by the letters L, A, Z, and Y. This is risotto for people who don’t want to babysit their dinner, who want to set it and forget it and pull it out after an hour in the oven with only ONE stir mid-way! This is risotto for lazy people. […]
Monday Moments
I love this picture of Theo and my mom paying no attention whatsoever as Carl holds up their card in an attempt to move along a rousing game of Killer Bunnies. (Side note: if you like games, come on over – this is a good one). I love my helpful little boy, who is thrilled […]
Let’s Get This 2013 Party Started!
Happy New Year, one and all! I hope you all rang in the new year in a way that makes you happy, whether it was sleeping (like me) or partying it up with champagne and sparkles. For the record, those things ALSO make me very happy, but this year, sleep made me happier. There’s always […]
Bacon-Wrapped Mini Sausages
So I’m a person who gets things done in the evening. Apparently newborns also have this trait. I knew this going in, but it still throws me off sometimes. Like when I plan to do homework in the evening in my usual write-5-pages-in-two-hours-the-night-before-it’s-due fashion that used to raise my parents’ cortisol levels. Or when I […]
Saturday Sweets: Oreo Trifle
You know those days where you want to eat a whole box of Oreos? In extra creamy, extra delicious form? Well, today is one of those lucky days! This trifle is nothing short of an Oreo lover’s dream, and is also super easy to put together! It’s a win-win in the Oreo world, that is […]
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Dip
I’ve been seeing cookie dough dip variations everywhere lately, on Pinterest, other blogs, and even when hanging out with my big sister. If you’re like most people I love, finding a way to legitimately eat massive quantities of cookie dough as an appetizer sounds like a great idea. And you’d be right. My sister makes […]
Rah-Rah RUGELACH: First on the First
It’s December!! How exciting is that? Now I can legitimately play Christmas songs, have our tree and all our decorations up, and not have any questioning looks. It’s a good day :). It’s also First on the First day, which is a reminder to me how unseasoned I am in the kitchen. Especially when a […]
Friday Fun!
You won’t even believe what got finished this week. Any guesses? Oooooh, that’s right, whose spindles are white all the way to the tippy top?! Oh yeah, MINE are! Eat that, old orange oak. (Side note: have you ever seen a flight of stairs so in need of a baby gate?! Long, narrow, and rock […]
Mom’s Classic Lasagna
Fall and winter are all about comfort food. And what’s more comforting than your favourite recipes from growing up? This lasagna is probably the food I remember eating most often growing up, and one of the only things I knew how to make when I moved out: meat, noodles, cheese, noodles, meat. I will never […]
