This week, in celebration of the upcoming, very long-awaited, premier of the 4th season of Arrested Development (my most favorite TV show of all time) on Netflix, I am doing a week of Arrested Development-themed recipes. It’s sort of a week-long Arrested Development premier celebration, if you will (“Oh, sure, I will. Look, I have…”). To answer your questions: … Continue reading »
There was a time, about five or six years ago, when my weekends were far different from they are now. I would generally work during the day on Saturday. Saturday nights were for dates, going dancing, or having a wine and movie night with my best friend. Sunday mornings were spent sleeping in a bit, … Continue reading »
Today is mine and Chris’s last day of work on the project we’ve been working on for the last few months and I couldn’t be more ready for a vacation. Chris and I always try to take a little trip after we finish a project, just because it can be very exhausting and it’s a … Continue reading »
Back in the day, my friend used to host a cookie exchange party every year. Everyone would bring about 40-50 cookies and the recipe printed out on an index card. Each person would get to take 2 of each type of cookie as well as the recipe for each cookie. It was an awesome party … Continue reading »
Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you? Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great. Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday. … Continue reading »
Recently, I returned home from yoga to find a huge box on our doorstep. In this box, I found a Vitamix. For me. From my husband. I feel like an official vegan now. An official vegan with the most amazing partner anyone could ever ask for. It’s not just this gift, though. Have you seen … Continue reading »
I am the type of person that can eat the same thing for months, sometimes even years, then get tired of it suddenly and replace it with something else. My entire junior year of college, I had tomato soup (from a box) with a grilled cheese sandwich (on white bread, usually with Kraft singles) for … Continue reading »
One of my favorite yoga teachers has all of us choose a “Fairy Oracle” card from a deck at the beginning of each class. Each card has a concept or idea on it that we can use to focus on during our practice, if we so choose. At the end of class, you can look … Continue reading »
My body craves sweet things sometimes. It just does. I refuse to deny it sweet things when that’s what it wants because the craving will build and build until I end up robbing a candy store completely over-doing it. Chris and I try to prevent this from happening by having a small dessert after dinner … Continue reading »
On mine and Chris’s first date, Chris and I “argued” (I’m using that term very loosely) over who had the better set of grandparents. I had never met someone who raved about their grandparents as much as I do. After about eight months of dating, I got to meet Chris’s twins, and shortly thereafter, I … Continue reading »
For the longest time, I had platinum blond hair. I don’t want to say it was completely the fault of the 90′s, but they definitely contributed. I don’t know what possessed me to bleach my already blond hair and fill it with golden “lowlights,” as my hair dresser called them. Year after year, though, no … Continue reading »
Do you ever wish there was a way you could stick your head inside your blender so you can clean, with your tongue, the last traces of whatever it was that you made? No? Just me? Huh. Forget I mentioned it. I was informed recently that I would be going to Maui (yay!!!) in May. … Continue reading »
