Note to self: never go grocery shopping on the day you’re recovering from a red-eye. These are some of the things I purchased during my so-tired-I’m-basically-drunk excursion: 2 mangoes 10 lemons organic turkey burgers collard greens store brand tomato sauce a loaf of white bread The majority of the stuff I bought was organic, which…

chocolate layered ice cream cake
Who doesn’t need an ice cream cake recipe in February? My little Kev-Wev is turning 14! Which is so weird, because I was 12 when he was born but I’m currently 18 and living it up as a college student at Loyola sooo… I know my presentation isn’t the best. I tried the parchment paper…
dark chocolate chai affogato
It’s not beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Is it the warm weather? Is it the lack of a big fat tree in the house? This is our tree. A true compromise between husband (no tree) and wife (big fat tree). If you’re wondering, those makeshift ornaments are in fact a few of the…
coconut craisin walnut cookies
Technically these are a “kitchen sink” style cookie. But that title makes me gag because do you ever think about how dirty your kitchen sink probably is? All the germs and wet-sponge smells and airborne poultry bacteria?! No, that’s just me? I mean, I clean the sink regularly with a Clorox wipe but STILL. It…
almond joy frozen greek yogurt
Another year, another birthday, another dessert! I turned 26 yesterday. My first birthday wish came from Kevin. He beat my dad by 6 minutes and was quite proud of himself. Once I confirmed that he had the right date, of course. I had my final exam for my job training in the morning. How many…
crème brûlée, almost.
This post is coming to you from O’Hare Airport in Chicago, where I’m waiting to catch a connecting flight to Iowa. I missed mine by about 10 minutes. I’m having great luck traveling so far, as you can see. Anyway- good time for blogging I think. For graduation, Aaron gave me a blow torch. This…
flourless brownies
It seems like forever since I posted a dessert! I’ve been slacking on the sweet tooth end lately. I didn’t even really indulge on Halloween candy, but that was mostly because Kevin neglected to bring home any Almond Joys in his trick-or-treating bag. I was home for the weekend and passed out candy at my…
aunt diane’s italian cookies
BIG NEWS! (In case I have any followers that don’t actually know me in real life.) My sister is engaged!! It makes me nostalgic for my pre-GS third wheel posts with Kelly and Aaron. Now they’re getting married! My cousin, Hannah, is also getting married (in less than a month!) and I volunteered to make…
chocolate greek yogurt truffles
We have a new look! There’s a pretty good chance I’ll change the theme 8 more times in the next two weeks. An even bigger announcement is that after much soul searching I’ve decided I don’t have the self confidence (or the time) to carry a blog on my own. A good friend of mine…
oatmeal dark chocolate cookies
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! What would we do if people embraced the major holidays of every culture the way they do with St. Patty’s and Cinco de Mayo? I realize that both are somewhat drinking oriented which makes everyone decide that they must be partially of Irish/Mexican descent, but really. For example, we could…
