Good morning, princess! Let’s review your morning activity checklist: Awakening to small birds chirping at your window? Check. Getting dressed by woodland creatures? Check. Staring longingly at the sunrise? Check. Brushing your hair for what seems like years? Check. The perfect breakfast? Wait… is that eggs and toast? Girl, no. You deserve more! You deserve […]

When a recipe has been passed down for generations, you can bet that it’s trustworthy. Old-fashioned recipes are time-tested and Grandma-approved.

The recipe that makes me most nostalgic is probably my family’s beef stew and biscuits—the ultimate comfort […]

It can be over-budget to make meals like quesadillas, nachos, Caesar salad, minestrone or broccoli cheddar soup, and the list can go on forever. So many of these […]
When it comes to budget-friendly meals and ingredients, you really can’t beat cabbage. Seriously, though. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of cabbage being a “high class” dish or ingredient. Ever. It’s so easy to come by and it’s even easier to cook with. Obviously, just because it’s not considered “high class” doesn’t mean it […]
It’s no secret that pretzels make for the best snacks. They’re just the perfect amount of salty that they could be paired with pretty much anything. Savory dips, sweet chocolate, other salty snacks… So many things. I have a habit of always having at least one bag of pretzels in my pantry. Twists, rods, sticks… […]
What is it about offices that makes them always steaming hot or absolutely freezing? Maybe it’s just because we all have our own ideal temperature, and we’re never satisfied.
