I said that to Kyle an embarrassing number of times on our last Costco run. First of all, I was in a really lazy rut with food prep. But in reality, I’m more and more impressed with the Costco selection every time we go! Why should I make anything from scratch!?! [I kid, my love for the kitchen will obviously prevail, but my previous point is still valid. Costco FTW!] This dinner came together in a matter of minutes – and how fancy does it look! An avocado and goat cheese massaged kale… Read more >

I’m not sure anyone will want to replicate this dish, but here’s what I did, in case you want to tweak it to improve upon it. For the record, I usually don’t post iffy recipes, but this was still yummy, so I’m doing it anyway. Just note the errors I made along the way and how you can possibly prevent them. Starting with the crust. Are you kidding me Immaculate Baking Co?? I followed the directions for using their pie crusts to a “t” and as you can see from the above, I… Read more >

Kyle and his friends (who all grew up together in Chico) always say “woooo!” after anyone mentions Chico, so it’s become a habit for me too. So that’s what the post title is about. I’ve written about Chico visits before, and we usually got to the same spots, so I won’t elaborate too much on the food. Friday night I had my fantasy draft and Kyle went to poker night. In spite of my half assed research, I came out with a decent team (I hope?) but it was very stressful…hence the chocolate wrappers. … Read more >

I realize this post is hardly timely. We didn’t get back from the city until Monday evening and then I worked two nights in a row though…sooo…what can you do? Truthfully, my weekend recaps are my own selfish way of documenting our memories forever and ever. If others enjoy them, great! So let’s back track to Saturday. I was recovering from a few night shifts so we kept the day mellow. I ate at odd times and didn’t get close to capturing everything I ate on film. Did you know sleep deprivation can make… Read more >

Back to the flatbread! Are your tomato plants going bonkers yet? Mine is just on the cusp of it. So far, just a modest steady stream. A handful or so every couple of days. It’s cool though. I got a late start planting my garden due to our move. But I have neighbors and coworkers with gardens and they are hooking. it. up! Remember when I was pregnant and wanted all things tomato? To be clear, I’m not pregnant. But I do think that the tomato cravings lingered around. Same with my love affair… Read more >
