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 […]

In the mean time I spend 99 percent of my evenings at home with a home cooked meal. Girls gotta save. Also my son is currently in a “throwing food” stage. I rather avoid hitting the nice lady sitting next to me. And I obviously love to eat at home, or why the hell else would […]

  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 […]
