This is a sponsored post written by me for BeyondMeat Beef Crumbles. All opinions are 100% my own. Because a tainted river ruined our weekend plans, we had to throw an impromptu fiesta on Saturday. All impromptu fiestas need sombreros, maracas, margaritas, and snacks. Surprisingly, I had all of those things on hand. Except the snacks, so I needed some snacks FAST. Chips and salsa, done. Veggie taco dip, done. Taco pinwheels? In the oven,…
Read moreI had a conversation with my coworker on Monday about how he used to work at a pizza place. His entire day consisted of making pizza, talking about pizza, and eating pizza until he decided to take a job as our co-op (and later to graduate and get a fulltime job in my building). He basically had the perfect life and he threw it all away for science. As admirable as it is to science all day, sometimes you need to dedicate your time to what really…
Read moreUpdated 12/8/15 – Garlic powder listed twice. Second instance should be onion powder. When I posted my sweet mustard pretzels, I made the mistake of talking up my sister’s Ranch pretzels. The result was comments saying “ooh those sound good, what’s the recipe?” And then I lied to you all. Saying the recipe was coming soon. Month later? Yeah. Not soon, Kelly. Oopsies. But looky here, I’ve finally made it up to…

Or that people will be talking about it in the hallway and look at me with disdain because I can’t add anything to the conversation (and that I actually run from those conversations). My only way to fit in during these dark days is by making pizza. So, so much pizza. I had the painful task of making a…
Read moreCabbage soup is not something that I ever expected to crave. I remember making big batches of it in high school and eating it because it was crazy low in calories (Weight Watchers zero point soup, if you’re familiar), not because it was crazy delicious. In fact, I pretty much hated cabbage and everything to do with it. Maybe it’s because I warmed myself up to the idea with Mexican Cabbage Soup (which is delicious and made in a slow…
Read moreI know. I know. I sound crazy? I sound crazy. This is actually something I’ve been making for years. Is that weird? It’s not weird. It’s delicious. It was actually inspired by flipping through a cookbook and seeing a picture of something and thinking it sloppy joe lasagna. When I got to the actual recipe, it was some sort of Mexican lasagna. With tortillas. How’d I even get the two mixed up? But the idea stuck in my…
