just got home from a crazy wild portfolio review trip in the middle-of-nowhere, Montana. So pardon my MIA. Weeks of preparation leading up to the big trip followed by a weekend of trying to prepare an empty home for a Sunday party, life has been anything but quiet. But more on that trip and some […]

The good news about being halfway productive this past weekend: I AM caught UP on recipe development! Actually I’m so caught up that I can take a weekend “off” from blog related recipes. This is basically unheard of. I’m usually 10,000 steps behind, always. The bad news about being this productive with recipe development is […]

I couldn’t find more of a perfect time to join the “February Drop-Off” than the present moment.

I’m not really a person who brunches…. anymore. Having a child who literally turns into wild bull whenever we dine out can be a daunting task in the AM, especially when having to parent solo – so I’ve learned to bow out on any public food gatherings and save a little face along with gray hairs.   But I […]

I have a good 10000 crumbs currently driving me crazy in my bed sheets right now. Like I really need another reminder on why my pants dance has upgraded to Michael Jackson’s, “Thriller” video.  So shake the sheets out you say? I did. But popcorn crumbs are like stage 5 clingers. The dingleberries of the snack group, […]

  With Valentines Day too quickly approaching – and if you’re in the same mindset as me – you’re probably trying to find the most affective bridge to throw yourself off of. Kidding, you will more than likely find me outside the nearest liquor store  brown paper bagging my emotions in hopes to pick up an equally disturbed human […]
