Trending Post: French Toast your kids will love
It seems like yesterday my daughter was three years old. She turned 14 back in June, and I have to be honest… I have no idea if I am raising her the right way. My whole goal in life is to raise her to be a good, kind person. To help those in need, and…
Since the dawn of the age of millennials, avocado toast recipes became the ever so popular “norm” of breakfast foods. Instead of smearing butter and jelly on fresh, warm, toasted bread, and indulge into the sweet and salty abyss of that beautiful nectar…we use avocado. When I first heard about people making avocado toast recipes,…

When hunger strikes you might be quick to grab those easy-to-eat snacks but most of the time, they are loaded with sugar and unhealthy (especially when eating late at night). With swim suit season on the rise, I decided it was time to stock my home with low-carb snacks that are delicious, healthy and easy…
So, today’s the big day for season 3 to release and I’m celebrating with this Santa Clarita Diet Spicy Bloody Mary….mmmmm… And I’d like to see just how many zombie references I can make, but I’m not sure that would be a fun read, so we’ll leave those at the door. Santa Clarita Diet Spicy…
What do the numbers 3, 1, and 4 have in common? You may immediately think of today’s date, 3/14. But, if you’re a nerd like me, you’re first thought is Pi. That’s right, the funny little symbol Ï€. First The Technical Stuff Pi is the mathematical equivalent of infinity (∞). It is approximately the number…

Growing up in the south you learn there are a few absolutes in life: tea is supposed to be sweet, and food is better fried. Of course, you’re learning these things from grandma’s who want to plump you up so they can pinch your squishy cheeks, but as much as those grandma’s loved us their…

Remember when you were a kid and you could practically live on grilled cheese? Remember those days off school where mom would make soup and grilled cheese and the only thing left would be the crust? When did we grow up? When did grilled cheese fall off the menu? These 25 mouth-watering gourmet grilled cheese…
Southern people know a lot of things for sure: it ain’t tea if it ain’t sweet, that store you’re looking for is down yonder as the crow flies, and really good barbecue takes a really long time to make. The truth is, while all those things are true, they aren’t absolute…especially that bbq bit. Want…
After the nightmare-inducing end to The Walking Dead: Season 6, you might expect season 7 to start out gently. But, no. It’s a bloodbath. A brutal, disgusting, horrifying, tearful, leave no fanbase untouched hellscape – and it completely sets the tone for what’s to come. This season, the group is facing an external force greater…
The Walking Dead: Season 8 is nigh, and if you’re a super fan like me, you’ve been eyeing everyone who carries a baseball bat with a little more trepidation for months now. Still, unless that bat is wrapped in barbed wire and carried by a Fonz-looking thug who calls her “Lucile”, I think we’re all…
I don’t care if my husband watches porn. Like at all. Well, I mean, not while he’s driving…or when he’s supposed to be taking out the trash. But if I’m not home and he’s got a spare minute? He’s welcome to peel his own carrot. Now, for some of you this is a non-issue. Of…
I like to cook. A lot. I also really, really love to eat, so after quitting my full-time gig as a Children’s Librarian a few months back and finding out a week later that I’m pregnant with my first baby, I really started to nest. This includes cooking a lot of meals at home, partly…
Every year from when I was little until even now, I’ve always gotten a stocking for Christmas from my parents. It had candy, of course, and some little toy (or usually a gift card now), and an orange. When I was younger the orange would always roll away (or be nudged with a petulant toe)…

We’ve all been there…it’s the middle of the night, you’ve had a long day and just as you finally close your eyes the baby starts crying. Your eyes roll up to the ceiling, you give a hard stare to your snoozing spouse, and you wonder who you murdered in your previous life to bring this…
Dear Parents: Summer is here and I’m guessing your little darlings are already starting to press buttons you didn’t even know you possess. Next time your kids are chanting, “We’re hungry! We want fast food!” reach for the cabinet instead of the car keys. That’s right, folks, a Toasted Tuna Salad Sandwich is fast food…
I don’t know if there’s any one ingredient that I’ve ever used that makes quite the impact that ranch does. The way it can make a dish really pop is one of my favorite things about ranch and it’s uniquely magical powers. Perfect examples of this? These 30 Ranch-Tastic Ranch Recipes. We’ve had *SO* much…
There’s a lot of “firsts” when it comes to having a baby. And a TON of those firsts are scary. But if you’re prepared, it can make it a little less stressful for you and for baby. One “first” I’m totally prepared for with the newest addition (coming this April!) is Baby’s First Fever. I…
I love snacky-type foods. They make my world go ’round. I make them at home in place of a meal some nights, just to mix things up (like having breakfast for dinner every once in a while). And these 33 3-Ingredient Snacks and Dips, well, they’re some of my favorites. Three Ingredient Simple Snacks and…
We love football at my house…we talk about the game and make little side-bets between each other about how plays will go. It’s just fun. Half the fun, though is chowing-down and basically noshing on goodies for that three hour block. But we really really don’t need to eat that much unhealthy food…we need 25…
I always feel like I’m in a pickle when it comes to dinner-time. Tonight was the baby’s nap…she slept forever (in my lap) and put me totally in a crunch to make dinner. But that’s where one of my favorite go-to meals comes in: 10-Minute Tin-Can Stew Recipe. What You Need to Make 10-Minute Tin-Can…

Okay, let me clarify. My lizard is a badass. How is this thing still alive? He lives in our kitchen and eats meal worms. (shudder) And, I am the worst pet owner ever. I am grossed out by forget to feed him, sometimes I forget to give him water, and I HATE cleaning out his…
