Mac and cheese is a staple of American childhood. We are a nation of cheese heads (here’s a nod to you, Wisconsin) and consume ungodly amounts of cheese each year, so it’s no surprise that we love this quick dinner idea. After you’ve mastered the basic steps of making this all-time favorite – boil water, […]
The term “low carb recipes” can be pretty intimidating at first. I know. I’ve been there. It sounds like a challenge, but not in the motivational way. It’s like “Hey, cut these foods out of your diet and try not to go near them ever again. Okay, thanks.” As the world’s biggest pasta eater, the […]
First of all, if the Styx song doesn’t immediately pop into your head when you read the words “come sail away,” then I just don’t understand. But I guess that’s okay. Speaking of, here’s some mood music for the rest of this post! Moving on… Nautical crafts. I love them because I love all things […]
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… […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a pretty big card naysayer. I’m just not a huge fan of them. You go, spend $4-5 on a card that may or may not be funny or heartfelt, your recipient reads it, and then it gets thrown away. If the card isn’t super cute, funny, or […]
Whenever I attend weddings (whether they’re family or friends), one of the first things that’s always on my mind when I walk into a reception is “What do the wedding centerpieces look like?”, immediately followed by “I wonder how I can get my hands on one of the centerpieces by the end of the night…” […]
Happy Earth Day, fellow cheap eaters and thrifty crafters! I don’t know about you, but I plan on celebrating this glorious day by stepping outside of the office as much as I can (sneakily, of course), taking my dog Brody for a walk or two, and working on some recycled crafts. I’m not sure if […]
Ask anyone: I’m probably one of the world’s largest Marvel Cinematic Universe/Avengers fans. I have Marvel Funko figures all over my desk, a giant paper Groot (from Guardians of the Galaxy in a corner, and have at least one piece of Avengers paraphernalia on my person at all times (usually my super awesome Captain America […]
You know, when most people think of homemade candy recipes, they think mainly of chocolate bars like Snickers and Kit Kats. Those are all fine and good (and delicious), but I find myself thinking of different candies. While others are dreaming of chocolate candy recipes, I’m dreaming of penny candies. The funny thing is that […]
Who would have ever predicted that duct tape projects and crafts would ever become a thing? Seriously though! Growing up, duct tape was always the silver tape that I’d use to tape up a box or that I’d hate to use because it left a hard-to-remove residue. It wasn’t hip. It wasn’t the cool thing […]
