Ah, Positano. She makes my whole heart sigh with longing and happiness and a better pace of life. We ventured around hairpin turns from Sorrento to Positano and although we arrived on a particularly gloomy day (more on that later), when we arrived at the top of the cliffside, you couldn’t help but let out…
Pretzel Bites with Quick Cheese Dip
Salt. Cheese. Bread. Oh hello Julie Andrews, yes, these are a few of my favorite things. I want to swan dive into this bowl. That is a rarity for me too. I don’t indulge in these types of foods all that often, but if you know me well, you know my devotion to pretzel runs…
Cheersing to…2017
2017. I know, it was hard. Maybe harder than you (and certainly I) thought it would be. But we made it. Or maybe it wasn’t very hard at all, for you. If last year was a beautiful, breathtaking time – cherish it. Relish in it. Cheers to it, hard. It sounds pessimistic, but it won’t…
Cranberry Gin Cocktail
New year’s resolutions, schmesolutions. And don’t even get me started on “sober january.” You go ahead and keep your whole 30 alllll the way over there with your meal prep and “do you know how bad salad dressings are?” commentary. it’s freezing cold, dark 23 hours a day and I genuinely wish I’m a polar bear so…
Spiced Gingerbread Loaf
It’s the most —– Stressful, crazy, fun, cocktail and sweets-filled, overindulgent, sparkly —- wonderful time of the year. I became so excited about it today. My Christmas shopping is done and I’m almost wrapped up at the office and about to head home to Indiana. I can’t wait to cozy up in my parents library,…
Letter to my niece, year four.
Every year on her birthday, I write my niece a letter. You can read the previous years’ letters here: Year one. Year two. Year three. hi belle. We call you that more often than Lily these days. It confuses people but they’re interchangeable to your family. Is that still a nickname of yours? I wonder…
Cheersing to…
it’s been a week, no? let’s find more good in it. 1. This video is the reason I brought this series back. I think we could all use a pep talk. I think, right now, especially right now, we should all ask ourselves, “how you living?” 2. Because I really miss #44 3. An American becoming a royal….
Savory Pumpkin Hummus
let’s level set on this one. This didn’t go as smoothly as I’d hoped. Literally, because my nutribullet blade decided to pack up and run away from me the minute I needed him. I found all the other parts of the blender right where I had left them – in the cabinet above my fridge…
