Hope everyone had a long, fantastic weekend. Mine was a little bit of a mixed bag — lots of fun, but I broke my freaking YOGA 3. I’ve never before cracked a screen on any electronic device (knock on wood that I don’t break anything else now!!), including when I accidentally threw my old Dell (what I’m currently on) across the room and hit our treadmill. How’d I do it? It fell, closed a whopping 5 inches to the…
Read moreAbout a year or so ago, I started baking from scratch almost all of the bread that we eat. Bread has always been one of my favorite foods, but the ingredients list on store-bought bread can be pretty scary. Making our own bread a great way to control the ingredients that go in, plus then we always have delicious, fresh bread.

Not only did I forget to post on Friday and then was too exhausted to write a post for Monday (more on that later) but the post I put up on Wednesday? Totally not even what I meant to write about.

If you swung by for my thousand island dressing on Wednesday, you should know that I’m in love with Reubens. When I’m in a restaurant, I just get them without meat (or sometimes with coleslaw in place of it… apparently I secretly love cabbage?),…
Read moreTrue story: this is both the first time I’ve made and the first time I’ve eaten monkey bread. When I was really young, my mom told me it was monkey brain bread. We had just watched Indiana Jones and so I had a pretty vivid image in my head that has stuck with me for a ridiculously long time. Yup. 25 year old (probably 2 decades later) and I tried monkey bread for the first time. It’s extra heartbreaking, because it’s…
Read moreDoes anyone else feel compelled to feed people? Aside from my obvious need to share pictures of what I eat on the internet, I just want to shove my food in people’s faces. It’s to the extreme that I don’t feel right showing up anywhere without food in my hands. If people are coming to my house, it’s even worse. “Oh hey Kelly, I brought this side dish” — oh that’s cool, I have all 4 eating surfaces…
