Meatballs can be moist AND healthy!? Well. Sorta. These aren’t like….. super duper going to lose a bazillion pounds healthy. But they are, you know, on the healthier side……  They are also mini so your eyes will make you feel like you’re eating a ton more as oppose to one and feeling lonely.  I’m about […]

I literally have had some MAJOR recipe fails followed (thank God) by some MAJOR wins! I wanted to jump off of a bridge yesterday after spending seven hours in the kitchen and accomplishing nothing but pure $#!T. Just a giant mess to clean up and  several large glugs of wine.  Thankfully by this morning my […]

The meat that keeps on giving. Seriously. I can make a thousand (okay maybe I’m exaggerating slightly) meals with this juicy hunk of protein. It really is worth every single penny spent. I happened to purchase mine from a local butcher and was kind of choking when he told me the price, however, the flavor […]

  My weekend wasn’t anything exciting. I ended up sitting my two-year-old-going-on-fifteen-year-old sassy niece along with my currently stage-five-clinger son so I basically wanted to pop my head off. And by that I mean I really wanted a glass of wine at all times. Too bad I’m a cheap drunk, one drink and I’m in […]

    Easy like Sunday morning. That is todays goal, as last night was a ROUGH night. My son overloaded on every berry he could get his hands on. Between the neighbors and niece he was able to manipulate everyone into giving him more, and more, and apparently far more than his little body could […]
