I received a really sweet and honest email from a reader a few minutes ago, and it inspired me to check in and say “hi” in a few minutes of downtime. I have a few minutes until Fritz gets back from a very important errand (it involves ice cream) (nope, not pregnant!), and since the …

For those of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve probably seen all these pictures (or most of them). But I thought I’d share some of my latest projects, since we’ve been too busy packing/meeting with friends/organizing/cleaning to cook or even consider turning on my oven. I found this project from Pinterest on …

Hey! It’s been so long since I’ve dropped by that my own blog doesn’t even recognize me–I had to sign in and remind my laptop to keep me logged in. I haven’t even been around to delete the weird fact-filled spam comments I’ve got a million of lately. There are so many things racing around …

I’ve had a hard time focusing lately. On the weeks that I actually exercise, I only manage to blog once–if I’m lucky. I’ve been cooking and baking just as often, but ignoring my poor camera laying forlorn in a corner covered in cat hair. Okay, not totally covered, because I do find time to (make …

This is just one of those classic quick-to-make, filled-with-veggies-when-I-know-I’ve-been-eating-nothing-but-Reese’s-and-cupcakes-all-week, easy-way-to-use-up-leftovers recipes that we always need in a pinch. Vegetable fried rice. Add another protein (besides the eggs) if you want more. Pretty easy. Also, I keep typing “friend rice”, which is a whole different kind of satisfying. Vegetable Fried Rice 2 t coconut oil (you …

This recipe has been taunting my from my “Pictures” folder since I made it two weeks ago, all 300 photos that I took. So I’ve decided to take the cowards’ way out. Since I didn’t change a thing from Julia Child’s original recipe (I would not presume to do so), I’m gonna let you see …

I know, it’s not St. Patrick’s Day anymore. In fact, it is the first day of spring! Vernal equinox, my friends! Tomorrow is also my beloved mother’s birthday. Isn’t she gorgeous? I honestly don’t know what I would do without my mom. No idea. She is and always has been such a rock in my …

I made this recipe yesterday–and by no means do I claim rights to it. Some friends were talking about it around the office, and I just followed (the most basic) general guidelines for a hassle-free corned beef and cabbage. It was so easy and delicious that I just thought I’d share, in case you need …

…again! Fritz and I have known that this move would likely be coming for a while, but we have only recently had the full information and top-secret security clearance (meaning: I told my job) to be able to share with the world. Since the last year has unfortunately been filled with stressful last-minute moves from …

I sometimes wish I was one of those cool girls who can slap on a Panama hat and sling back whiskey while talking about Nietzsche and women’s rights, but frankly, straight up liquor like that makes me grimace in the most unflattering of ways. It is certainly not cool. That’s not to say that I …
