It’s time for more coffee. Always more coffee! Welcome to the spring 2019 installment of the coffee date series! This is where I dish about lots of different topics that probably don’t need their own post but I want to tell you about anyway. All while drinking coffee!

Sugar cookies are a long-time favorite of mine. An enormous sugar cookie from the grocery store bakery was usually my reward (read: bribe) for grocery shopping with my mom when I was little, so they have always felt like a super special-treatment cookie to me.

Oh, hi there! Just popping in to let you know to not expect Friday posts from me for the foreseeable future. It turns out packing for an out-of-state move while corralling a newly-mobile baby is time-intensive (who knew!) and I now go to bed every night feeling like I ran a marathon. But don’t go […]

There is a moving truck coming to our apartment in THREE WEEKS. Cue panicked packing. Moving is always a little bittersweet. We will […]

Carnitas! One of my favorite meats. Shredded pork that is crispy and juicy at the same time with all of our favorite Mexican flavors and a heavy dose of porkiness. Carnitas are a fun alternative to our usual taco fillings, and are also pretty simple to make. The pork cooks in the crock pot and […]

I love mac and cheese. I especially like it jazzed-up with toppings. ESPECIALLY if it’s like a build-your-own toppings bar kind of set up. Not only is a mac and cheese bar a good way to make all the people happy, it’s easy to get your whole meal in a bowl. And when you can […]
