I should write a book of life tips like those. And include why I know why it’s a bad idea. For starters, if you take yourself to breakfast, you may consider smoked trout a delicious and healthy thing to eat (as you should). Be warned however, that if you eat it, you will not get […]

Nailed it
When your 3 year old asks for a pig cake (yes a pig cake…no fuckkng idea where she got that from but very clearly and definitely a pig cake) you make a pig cake. So I found this on pinterest. Looks legit. I can probably do this. Lover is ALL about it, hes gonna help […]
Gas
When you got it, no stopping it. Well, you could but I don’t recommend it. As someone who has stomach issues that cause horrific gas, my thoughts today have wandered…what are the best places to pass it? And then…Where are the worst? Best places: Outside. Especially if it’s windy, bonus for a noisy area where […]
Unprepared
I constantly tell people what a disaster I am. “I can’t get out the door on time! I’ll never remember to bring snow pants for both kids every day! I’m a disaster! I burned the cookies. I’m a disaster. I spilled (insert liquid or edible here) all over myself. I’m a disaster!” Then, my friends […]
That time of year
When it gets colder, thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Caillou’s holiday movie is on. Yes, I said the c-word. Parents everywhere are crying in their coffee mugs, counting the minutes until their next glass of bourbon or their AA meeting. And not even thanksgiving yet. I haven’t truly looked forward to a thanksgiving […]
Day 102
Homemade pizza. Dare I say, all things wonderful come to mind? Paired with Stranger Things 2, a warm cat, and snuggly Lover, and all is set for an amazing cold November evening. I use a recipe for crust coming from Bette Hageman’s cookbook, The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread. I have no permissions to post […]
Day 101
November…cold…cloudy…cold… I like how November brings things I love. Like Thanksgiving. (Food) Christmas cookie baking after thanksgiving. (More food) Inevitable weight gain from all the food. (An extra layer of warmth from the food? A girl has to stay warm) Today I did some online grocery shopping, and started buying some of the essentials I […]
Day 87
Ok. Somebody needs to cut me off. Apple cinnamon donuts You’re going to have to roll me to my car so I can go to work tomorrow. I based the recipe on the pumpkin maple glazed donut recipe from Oh She Glows, but made some changes, like making it gluten free. And making with Apple instead of […]
Day 81
I mentioned a few days ago that I *might* have a baking problem. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I totally have a baking problem. Yesterday I made candy bars. I didn’t actually bake them though, so does it count? Today…baked some millet bread. And made soup. Delicious ham and […]
Day 76
I *may* have a baking problem. Yesterday I baked bread. And a triple berry crisp. Today, I did this: Apple pecan pie. It’s under cooked. I had exactly 1 hour before I had to leave before it came out. But, it’s all good. I consulted with my baker friend who told me there are no […]
