I really don’t like this new UC logo. I’m saving the Daily Bruin crossword for Friday because our baby dresser/changing table is going to be delivered sometime between 12 and 4 pm. That’s a lot of waiting around time that I need to fill. But I am SO excited about this dresser (nursery photos to come). Oh, and in case you couldn’t guess, that breakfast was GF toast with Earth Balance and two perfectly fried eggs. There’s nothing (ok, very little) that makes me happier than a fully stocked fruit situation. I’m on… Read more >

Cornbread and chili. It’s one of those combos that you always pair together. Like peanut butter and jelly. Or…I don’t know…something else. I can’t think right now. My brain is slow these days. It’s such comfort food. Very appropriate for the changing season. Christmas will be here before you know it. And then, holy crap, it’s full on winter. To be fair, winters in Los Angeles may as well be spring on the East Coast since it rarely dips below 50. But I still have the heater running so that counts for something (poor insulation,… Read more >

It’s still leftover-mania around these parts. I brought home so many mashed potatoes I hardly knew what to do with them all. There’s only so many mashed potatoes a girl can eat! And since I’m anti-waste (and all about re-purposing things into something different and new), I decided to attempt a potato based soup. I banked on the crock-pot to help me out. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the slow cooker makes things idiot proof. Ingredients just plain taste better after swimming for hours together in a pot. It’s fact. So… Read more >

I know Thanksgiving was ages ago, but I’m only just getting around to uploading photos and such because my week/end was SO packed I couldn’t be bothered to worry about blogging in a timely manner. Shorts and a tank top in late November…must be Southern California… For the first time in as long as I can remember ever (!!) I got the holiday – PLUS it’s surrounding days – off of work. Kyle and I took full advantage, and drove down to his parents’ house in San Clemente on Wednesday afternoon, to stay through… Read more >

I’m not sure if it’s just me (it wouldn’t be the first time…), but sometimes I bake things and get sick of them after a few servings. Maybe that sounds lame – it’s just that I don’t necessarily want to eat banana bread every day for weeks in a row. I like diversity. I want to be able to have oats or toast or grits or something else in the morning without worrying about my precious baked goods going bad. Most of the time I end up freezing the leftovers (imagine how great of a… Read more >
