I’m writing this, and I don’t even fully know how to tell you to slow down during your busy life because the truth is, I’m learning how to do this myself.

I now interrupt your frantic turkey preparations for the following announcement: 

EAT PIZZA, INSTEAD.

My friends, food is getting fancier.

We are tired and hurting and don't know what else to do.

Apparently, there's a thing happening in Houston this weekend. A sportsball game of some sort and people are super excited about it.

Heating up a kitchen while you are doing your level best to not become human molten lava is always the goal during summer, no matter where you live. I prefer batch cooking if I can make that happen, and never, under any circumstances, do I turn on my oven. Unless I'm baking a birthday cake or maybe some hand pies.

Bitter Buddy Mix is a take on an old familiar recipe of rice cereal mixed with chocolate and peanut butter, then coated with powdered sugar.

I say this: Stop fat-shaming my toddler son. Fat will not make him fat. Fat does not make him unhealthy.

Easter is rapidly approaching, which means that we all need to get our collective ish together and figure out how to eat all the chocolate.

You don’t have to do it all in order to have a fun or memorable holiday season. Just do the things that bring you life and make your soul sparkle a little.
