This month, I was challenge by The Recipe Redux to make a lucky food. The idea that food can be lucky and that people specifically make lucky foods to start their new year was completely foreign to me, but I could definitely use some luck in my life. I’ve had an all around challenging year with my house, my health, and my kitties, so I’m hoping a little bit of lucky food can help turn it around for next year. Because I didn’t know foods could be lucky, I had to do a little research. There are lots of Asian foods tied with luck, but that’s a little out of my comfort zone, and I really just want comfort this time of year. Apparently, round foods and golden foods are...
What the what? This was supposed to post on November 20th and for some reason didn’t. (Thanks WordPress, for never alerting me to this fact?) After my vacation, I was too busy playing catchup to notice. It’s now a month late , so I feel extra bad about never posting a review after the people at MyOatmeal.com were so kind to send me tasty oats to sample. Rather than delay it longer to re-write the post, you can all see how excited I was about my vacation before I took it, ha. Greetings, everyone! I’m probably in Jamaica today or on a big awesome ship, but I couldn’t leave you without a post. The wonderful people over at MyOatmeal.com sent me some delicious oatmeal to review. Since I’m apparently bad at...

Apparently I decided Wednesday was a Kelly holiday and took the day off from posting. Oopsies! While I normally post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I really feel no obligation to keep to a schedule — especially with all of the holiday obligations this time of year. Anyone else like that? Am I just a lazy blogger? If we’re being fair, I even had a recipe ready for Wednesday. It’s not this one, though. I made these cookies to bring to work on Thursday and they were just too delicious to not post. The chocolate/orange combo isn’t anything new or innovative. In fact, I decided on these cookies solely because Target was out of those foil wrapped chocolate oranges (Love those!). If you wanted to make these unbelievably delicious...
Happy Monday, everyone! Okay. I get it. Mondays are not happy. That’s why I have another giveaway to brighten up your day. I’ve been sitting on this one a while, and I apologize. Between my vacation and a series of household mishaps (why didn’t anyone warn me not to buy a house??), this just kept getting pushed back. My coworker hosted a Wildtree freezer party back in October and while I couldn’t attend, Leah (you can get to Wildtree’s website there) was nice enough to send some samples my way and provide for a giveaway. For those of you who haven’t heard of Wildtree, they offer certified organic spice blends, grapeseed oils, bread mixes, dips, and soup mixes that are free of preservatives, additives, and fillers while promoting a healthier...
