Things I didn’t do last night: this. Things I did instead. Watched Lemonade on repeat. Maybe four times. Maybe more. I even made a nasty lemonade drink with a little hot sauce as attempted tribute to the album. Definite fail. However the picture didn’t totally suck so I still posted it on social media. Word to […]

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 […]

Every day I’m hassling. No, seriously, I am. Sweet potato hasselbacks are literally exploding in my kitchen. I made so damn much that I have enough to last me a life time.
