We interrupt your regularly scheduled Thanksgiving food overload on your feed to bring you a gentle reprieve from the turkey prep, et all. I have a strong love for Thanksgiving food. Christmas is my favorite holiday, but Thanksgiving food is, hands down, my favorite by far. Growing up, I always wondered what my mom had…

This rain and chill have been hindering my running plans lately. It’s frustrating, but I’ve just been trying to give myself grace in it all. I’m also at a particularly tough part in my training schedule, I’m having to really push through a mental wall. The delays don’t help. Another thing about this time of…

I know I talk a bit about eating lighter and better lately and about working out more. My fascination with baked goodies may seem counterproductive, but honestly all the aforementioned is what allows for us to enjoy the creativity that happens in our kitchen. I’ve always had a bit of a sweet tooth, so this…

One of my favorite streaming shows right now (which also happens to be in its final season) is The Man in the High Castle based on Phillip K. Dick’s alternative history novel of the same name. It’s one big scenario of “what if the Axis Powers had secured victory over the Allied Forces in WW2…

It’s finally puffy coat weather! I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it! Ok, I’ll stop. But really! It’s the perfect cozy weather for Hallmark and chill… and slow-cooker oatmeal! I recently bought a cute sweatshirt to celebrate! Oatmeal doesn’t have to be boring. It doesn’t have to be just generous and warming, but…

I was in the fourth grade when “Friends” first premiered. I had such a crush on Joey and wanted to be just like Rachel (but I hated their romance arc tbh). It was probably not a show I should have been watching at that age, but it’s downright tame compared to what’s on TV now….

Pasta being one of the Mr’s favorite food groups means it must be on the menu just about every other week. It doesn’t matter what kind, really. It just matters that it’s on the menu. This generally includes spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli, et all. I too love pasta, but it doesn’t love my waistline, so every…

Ever since I was a little girl and heard about “cocoa van” on an episode of Bewitched, I was fascinated with the exotic-sounding dish (well one of many mentioned from those TV shows of that period). I determined inwardly that I would one day make all the “fancy” dishes women of that period made for…
