I’m a little late to the party, but I recently started watching the latest season of American Horror Story. It’s great and I love it, if it weren’t for the fact that I started watching this right before Josh was out of town overnight for a bachelor party. While I’m not normally afraid of clowns, there’s something about being alone in a house for the night (when you haven’t been in probably years) that makes…
Read moreRevisiting one of my old favorites today! I used to make this allll the time, then stopped and I’m not sure why. I made it again recently and thought that I should really update my old terrible photos (I’ll leave them in at the bottom for embarrassment/kicks). Sadly, the new photos are only marginally better — I had this idea in my head that I just HAD to use a square plate because I used a square plate last time. Not my…
Read moreAnyone else suffer from crippling laziness? We went away for a handful of days at the beginning of the month and used that as an excuse to not go to the grocery store beforehand — it’ll all just go bad, right? And then the excuses started afterward. We really couldn’t go the next day because after work we had cuddles to catch up on with the kitties.

For example, I’m passionate about whole grains, but it’s not always easy to like whole grains. Baking with whole grains (and ancient grains)…
Read moreJosh here. I know I’m usually not the one to bring you recipes, but I thought it would be fun to write something for the first time in a while. This past Valentine’s Day, we went to a fancy-ish place that happens to have a variety of interesting cocktails, including a few specialty ones for a week or so at a time. They had one that caught my eye, and after trying it, I decided we had to try our best to replicate it at home….
Read moreCan anyone resist soft pretzels? I used to love grabbing a hot buttery pretzel at the mall or eating a dozen at my sister’s in-law’s after a pretzel making party (what, you guys don’t have those?). Well, I used to. The pretzel place in my mall closed and was replaced with froyo, which is just fine but not really the same kind of snack. Plus my sister lives across the country and doesn’t come around often for pretzel…
