There are some things in life you just HAVE to do. If you find a dress at Anthropologie worth loving, and it’s on sale for $30 plus it fits you perfectly, you have to buy it. If you’re feeling down in the dumps, and you’re wearing sunglasses instead of make-up then you should get pizza and breadsticks for lunch. You should eat it with your BFF who won’t judge your lack of mascara. If your…
Awhile back, my girl Jessica and I collaborated to bring food and craftiness together! We needed a cookie that would keep it’s shape while baking, so I opted for these graham guys. I tripled the recipe and used a small square cutter since I’m the worst at straight lines. Jessica piped all the X’s while I pranced around and chit-chatted with her. It was the most fun! I can’t wait to do something like this…
My sister Laura visited this weekend. We bought blueberries at Eastern Market with this tart in mind. We assembled it between backyard beers and impromptu pizza eating. This is a casual tart. It always wears jeans, and never goes in the oven. P.S. I’ve made this tart before strawberry-style. I hadn’t thought of putting blubeberries and goat cheese together until Cindy mentioned these awesome hand pies she made. OMG. She knows things. Blueberry Goat Cheese Tart…
Once, my sister Laura and I threw a Halloween Party with the booziest sangria. We baked patriotic funfetti cupcakes in christmas liners. We assembled the worst bean dip, and had the most fun. And you see, these cookies are an edible party. They taste as good as a party is fun! Skills! These are just as easy as those patriotic cupcakes we made at Halloween with no regard. And I bet you have the ingredients in your pantry!…
Sometimes you have to put a bright blanket on your couch because your couch is wearing out. Sometimes you have to clean your feelings. Sometimes you have to buy cereal every time you’re at the store even though you have some already. Sometimes you have to fall asleep on the blanket on the couch watching Bored to Death and then stumble-walk to bed at 1am. Sometimes you have to drink vodka sodas and make pulled…
I’ve been making waffles and pizza for dinner. I’ve been making waffles sandwiches for lunch and drinking beers in the backyard after work. I’ve had key lime cookies in my oven and powdered sugar on my outfit. What I love about these cookies is that they aren’t too sweet. They’re perfectly zesty. And you can make these in the morning and deliver them to your favorites before noon. (I’m a morning person who wakes up with…

It’s time for summery breakfasts. Breakfast to match our no-sleeves and shortie shorts. Let’s fill our pockets with snacks and go for a long walk. Let’s fill our bagels with berries and top them like they’re donuts. These bagels may be a two-day ordeal, but don’t let that stop you. The first day is no biggie, and the second day involves boiling and baking. It pairs perfectly with morning coffee and mis-matched pajama wearing. I…
This is the kind of meal where you can’t help but take giant, un-ladylike, but totally respectable, bites. These noodles are Lady and the Tramp-esque. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your true love mid-noodle. But mostly just know that this is one tasty dinner. It’s perfect for a casual weeknight. It’s filling AND it’s pretty. And I promise you’ll be full before you want to be. You might get mad at your tum for not…
