Phew! Almost forgot about this month’s Recipe Redux. I even thought to myself yesterday “Ohh, have to remember to post that!” and then bam. Immediately forgot the date. Does that happen to anyone else? You feel like you have so much more time left in the month, and then it’s practically over. To add to my sense of “wtf is wrong with my brain”, I just realized that I was thinking…
Read moreEven when a dinner is lackluster, I still try to suffer through the leftovers. And by “I”, I really mean Josh. Yup. I stick Josh with the reject dinners. Every. Single. Time. For the longest time, he wouldn’t even complain. Just carried them off to work and afterwards said that it made surprisingly better leftovers.

Over a year after that, I’ve been LONG due for a chocolate malt cake. Neither of my previous…
Read moreUgh, Mondays, right? I’m never ready for them. In fact, I spend all day Sunday dreading Monday morning. I love sleeping in and being lazy for just a little while. When you’re lazy like me, a slow cooker is your best friend every day of the week but especially on Mondays. I normally use mine to make breakfast so I can sleep in just a little later, but I love making dinner too. The idea for a healthier slow cooker mac and cheese came…

Whenever it popped into my head, I would think about how delicious and creative it would be — a quick Google search will show you, hundreds of other people have thought the same thing.
