Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Sautéed Spinach, Tomatoes, and Turkey Bacon Bits

Oh dinner. I can’t even take you right now. During this past month, I’ve been waking up every morning, tripping over my shoes and sleepwalking over to the kitchen to pour myself a hearty bowl of cheerios. Talk about breakfast of champions.

Nutella Swirled Banana Bread

Holy shnikes. Last night I watched one of the most terrifying movies of my life. I’ll keep it nameless, for my own sanity, but I’d like to think I’m not the only one who now punches the shower curtain as soon I walk into the bathroom… Just in case. Oh and yesterday I was reminded … Read more

What I Want For Christmas

To Whom it May Concern: I know it’s totally awkward because we haven’t actually met before. But it is what it is, and now we find ourselves in this unavoidable season of gift giving. You probably weren’t thinking of getting me a gift, but ’tis the season to spread a little love, and I was … Read more

Christmas Party Offerings

Sure, I like wine. And I’d totally be okay with you bringing a bottle to a Christmas party, even though it probably means that you were running really late and picked up the bottle on the way to the party. Really though… It doesn’t matter… I’m pretty sure it’s still 100 percent delicious. To be … Read more
