Pathetic confession: I never got a garden planted this year. I prepped the area, fertilized, made a plan of what I wanted to grow… and then nothing. I had a busy first month-ish of summer and by the time it was A. not pouring on the weekend and B. I actually had the day free, it was almost August. I’ve always heard people say that years go faster as you get older, and I’m really seeing that more and more. Luckily, my boss has…
Read moreMy coworkers, friends, and a lot of my family all refer to me as a crazy cat lady. To which I don’t take offense, but I do have a strong problem with the fact that loving your cats and talking to them in your own home makes you crazy while carting your dog everywhere with you makes you a good dog mom. Major props to the dog lovers for somehow making it socially acceptable, but can we talk about the cat shaming? Not okay! There’s…
Read moreYou know I love me some nondairy milk, but they usually make some pretty pathetic lattes. I like extra, extra foam and it just has to have good flavor. Sweetened almond milk tastes amazing in lattes, but just doesn’t get the foam factor right. And you can trust that fact because Josh and I have tried a variety of ways to craft the best at-home latte according to our standards. I won’t get into the specifics, but we’ve tried a…
Read moreHave I posted a smoothie recipe before? I just realized I probably haven’t. I’ve posted a boozy milkshake, but never a smoothie. What’s wrong with me? I like smoothies; I make smoothies! But really, I never think they’re recipe worthy. Throw some of this and some of that in a blender and BAM –> smoothie. What’s different? This smoothie is delicious enough to be worthy of a blog post, huzzah! It’s…
Read morePlease excuse me while I fight off making terrible turnip puns. Something about foods with fun names turns me into a terrrrible person to be around in the kitchen. If I ever made a dish that contained asparagus, beets, and turnips, I think Josh would just storm out of the house and come back after all leftovers were gone. Even then, who knows if he’d be safe. After all, I still randomly burst out into Jack Sparrow with the slightest hint…
Read moreI probably say a lot of sandwiches are my favorite, but if we get rid of the basics (PBJs and grilled cheeses) then I can pretty confidently say that a Reuben is my most requested, most ordered sandwich. I always forgo the meat and occasionally swap in sauteed mushrooms and peppers or even just slices of tomato. Josh, on the other hand, is not really into sauerkraut and will kick and scream over eating a Reuben until he’s actually eating…
