Okay. I feel like you almost knew this was coming. THE WEATHER. I promise you that when I made this dish I completely pictured it being a cooler weather, crispy leaf, post. Instead.

It’s officially cold here in the Midwest (though Missouri is definitely more Mideast, whatever, much like their drivers, these midwesterners are in a constant state of confusion). Seriously.

(also before I begin to even speak another sentence, lets share a mc-adoodle-doo moment of the noisiest silence EVER for the Giants defeat over the Girlboys…. wahooooo) Moving on. Football season, which basically means it is indeed time to whip […]

Much similar to the last time I was sick (read here) my inner hypochondriac decided to show face this weekend when body chills followed by aches and pains (mostly stomach pains because I tried convincing myself I was not hungry) decided to invade my personal space and leave me bedridden while I anxiously awaited for […]

  You ever feel after a great nights sleep (are those even still possible?) that an elephant is sitting on your eyeballs?  I’m on cup of coffee numero tres and am considering stapling my eyelids to my brow bone right now just to get me through until my mid afternoon nap. Yes, that is part […]
