Easy Mint Chocolate Cream

Saturday, March 16, 2013

I really tried to avoid making anything minty for St. Patty’s Day this year, because there’s SO MUCH mint out there, and because, really…what does mint have to do with St. Patrick’s Day? Nothing. But all things mint tend to also be green, and St. Pat’s is all about the green. Anyway. I tried to ...

It’s an Australian show about teenagers who go to a prestigious ballet school in Sydney, and it’s on Netflix Watch Instantly right now, and I’m currently obsessed, thanks to my friend, Tina. Important facts before I go on: I was one ...

Chai Cream

Monday, December 3, 2012

When the Hubster and I were at Walt Disney World back in October, we had dinner one night at Sanaa Restaurant, located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village. (Yes, I know I have yet to share photos of our Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party costumes. I’m sorry. I’ll get them up eventually.) Anyway. ...

Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

I’m writing about spiders today. Again. I know. You guys have got to be so sick of hearing about spiders. I’m sorry. But seriously, they’re so bad here, even the Hubster is getting fed up. He’s fed up with seeing them, he’s fed up with killing them, he’s fed up with me doing the heeby ...

No-bake Biscoff Pie

Friday, September 14, 2012

I am utterly exhausted and battle weary today. I had a particularly vicious and taxing spider run-in yesterday. I’ve told you of my fear of spiders in the past, but I want to make it absolutely clear: mine is a regularly-wake-from-nightmares-of-killer-spiders-dangling-over-my-face, hubster-talking-me-down-from-my-paralytic-terror-in-the-night kind of fear. It’s a won’t relax in the hammock, won’t walk first ...

Doctor Who: Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Jello in a Jar

Friday, August 31, 2012

I’m keeping it geeky today, because when your favorite TV show is premiering, you have to get back to your roots and share your love of all things Who. As I told you on Tuesday, the new season of Doctor Who premieres tomorrow (Saturday…September 1st…2012). Honestly, people, if you don’t already know this, have your ...

S’more Truffles & White Chocolate S’more Fudge Sundaes

Friday, August 24, 2012

The heat came on in my house this morning. We have one of those automatic systems where you set the temperature, and it’ll either turn on the heat or the A/C to maintain it, as needed. The heat came on this morning. What the what, Oregon?! It’s July 24th! <—Not really. It’s August 24th. Way ...

Toast Harry’s Birthday with Frozen Butterbeer! {UPDATED}

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Today is Harry Potter’s birthday. Fact: Harry and I are the same age. If my Hogwarts letter had never been lost, it might well have been Harry, Ron, and Darla. What? YOU DON’T KNOW! It could’ve happened. Whatever. In my little fantasy world, I’m in the Trio. I mean, I totally dig Hermione, so she ...

Homemade Pink Lemonade

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

Soooooooo. It’s still summertime. You know…sunshine (even here in the Pacific Northwest!), warm weather, shorts and tanks, kids home from school. Kids home from school. I see so many of my friends who are so excited for summer break because the kids will be home, and I always get confused. Not that I don’t love ...
