A couple of times a year I get this sudden urge to purge my fridge and freezer (and apparently take up rhyming!) Recently, my freezer was out of control and I decided to go through and clean. I came across a box of puff pastry that desperately needed to be used, so I got onto … More Pumpkin Pop Tarts
I’m a huge fan of Crooked Media and Pod Save America. If you have never heard of them- you need to! Three former Obama staffers began a media company in the Trump era and the result is some of the best political reporting I have been privy to. Recently, I heard an interview with Ronan … More Good Reads
I finally feel like fall is really here is Southern California. (I know that right after I post this it will probably be like 90°!) We’ve had the cold, the winds, and of course- the fires! Luckily we made it out unscathed, but every fire season we have I am more and more grateful for … More TGIF- fun finds
I had some brown bananas and was all ready to make some boring old banana bread. There’s nothing wrong with banana bread- personally, I love it. But, it’s fall. And with fall comes all the fall flavors that I love and I want to incorporate into EVERYTHING I make. So, I was sitting at work, … More Pumpkin Banana Bread
I have this HUGE binder of recipes I have collected over the years, all the way back to when Greg and I were first married. I haven’t used it very much the last few years – it is crazy unorganized- but recently I decided to organize it and rediscover some good eats. As I was … More Italian Meatball Sliders

It might have been that it was published when I was in the midst of the “Terrible Twos” (2011 – at times, a tough year!) but whatever the reason I was pleasantly surprised to find a new-to-me book … More Good Reads

When I feel a bout of nostalgia, I always gravitate towards these potatoes – the ultimate comfort food. I’m … More Parmesan Potatoes
It’s November!!!! I always love this month because it marks the end of really long teaching month and because we conclude with my favorite holiday – Thanksgiving! I recently ordered this sherpa from Abercrombie and Fitch after seeing it all over blogs I follow. It was on clearance for $39 (now it’s back up to … More TGIF – fun finds
Halloween is here and that means we get to enjoy all the yummy things that this day brings. Yes, of course I mean the candy! But, we can’t forget about the pumpkin seeds as well!!! We tend to carve our pumpkins really close to Halloween because it is so hot here around Halloween and I … More Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
A few years ago I began getting a subscription to Better Homes and Gardens. How did I get this? I have no clue. I have never ordered it for myself and it keep on getting renewed without any money from me! So, I’ve just been embracing it and flip through the magazine each month when … More Orange Squash
