Frrrrrrrrrrrrreeeedeeerrrlleeeedeeeee! You know what I never understand? And tell me if you agree, or even notice this. In books, why does the main character, or any character for that matter, always turn their phone off in a moment of stress or crisis? Like they turn their phones OFF. And I just don’t feel like people […]
Favorite dinner alert! And I mean it. Give me anything with a melted mozzarella smothering-style blanket and I’m sold. Also, why do you think we call it Chicken Parmesan, when the parmesan part is just a garnish? The mozzarella is the star here. I’ve always wondered that. Never mind. But this is what we’re doing […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I mean BRRRRRRRR. (<–sorry) Okay, when was the last time you thought about a rabbit’s foot?! Like, not attached to the rabbit, that is. A keychain rabbit’s foot. A LUCKY CHARM. I’ve not thought about those since 1999 when I had a side part. What a weird thing those are! Were? Are? OMG, ARE? […]
You’ve checked the weather, right? You’ve seen the forecast? You know what’s coming? You’ve looked? Luckily, we have this soup. And it is downright problematic. First of all, I cooked the turkey meatballs in an air fryer, and it’s a GAME changer. They cook and brown up so perfectly. Barely did a thing. Secondly, they’re […]
Fridaaaaay! Okay, you can’t comment on this freaking blog anymore, I’m hearing. You guys, I am so sorry. I know the irony of asking you to give advice on a platform that’s not letting you, but I need help! I was on the phone with Godaddy yesterday for an hour and they were useless. AND […]
Hellooooo, January mouths. We’re slurping big time today. It’s chicken enchilada soup season, and this one’s a banger. It’s simple and comforting and spicy and you’ll flip right out over it. We’re going to season and sear some chicken breasts with a packet of taco seasoning. After you’ve seared the chicken, let it rest, then […]
Halfway through January already, but I didn’t forget your mixtape! And boy is this one stellar. It’s this groovy mix of jazz piano and soul. With a splash of Taylor. But mostly they’re sort of driving songs. Where the underlying rhythm is the main character that takes your bobbing head along for the ride. It’s […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrreederleedeeeee! Well we’re nine days into January. The new year. How are you all feeling? Motivated? Overwhelmed? Fresh? Anxious? A little giddy? A little rundown? Same. I don’t do resolutions. Never ever have. It’s too much pressure and they make me cranky. And I’m already perimenopausal so we’re simply having none of it. Don’t get […]
In da (bewk) cluuuuub! (<–sorry, these things can’t be helped.) So, four are actually missing from this stack. Two I borrowed (Flicker in the Dark and One Golden Summer), one I lent out (West with Giraffes) and another I misplaced. (Valley of the Dolls – gah!) But here’s most of my 2025 haul! (is haul […]
Let’s finish the year on a comfy note! A creamy note. With chicken and rice. You dig? This is one of those feel-it-in-your-bones dinners. The meal that just hits, ya know? It’s familiar, nostalgic, nutritious and so good you might just shed a tear or 80. It will become a recipe that you don’t need […]
