Beets with Honey and Goat Cheese
So, I have beets for you today, which I’m sure is disappointing for many of you, but please, hear me out. These beets are peeled and sliced thinly. Then, roasted in a hot oven. They’re served with a drizzle of honey and sprinkling of goat cheese. The combination is addictive. Really. I swear. Here’s some…

Perfect Flank Steak
Yep, that’s steak. It’s so good that if you make it men and women will weep at your feet. Plus, since it’s flank steak, as opposed to a more expensive cut, it won’t break the bank and can be on your table in under 30 minutes. So, grab a box of kleenex, and let’s get…

Crayola Color Bath Dropz
Ellie was invited to her first “school friend” birthday party a few weeks ago. It was at a paint your own ceramics shop, and in the adorable favors, they gave each kid a few art related items. One of which was a small box of Crayola Bath Dropz. I had never seen them before, but apparently,…

The Secret to Great Skin and Nails
Let me start by saying I am not a doctor. Repeat: I am not a doctor. So, before trying this, go ahead and check with yours, okay. Deal? Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’ve been taking two of these probiotic gummies a day to fend off some super glamorous digestive issues at…

Fresh Salsa
This recipe is crazy easy, but with fresh, in-season tomatoes, the results are addictive. In it, I used just a little jalapeno, because I am a wimp. Feel free to scale the heat level up by adding more or leave it out if that’s not your thing. Stir this together soon for some of your…

There were lots of t-shirts this summer and shirts with open backs and flowy, boho numbers, but your typical “work/casual” top was sort of non-existent. You can imagine my delight when I found four, really great,…

Crazy Rich Asians
So, I’m a little late to the Crazy Rich Asians party. This book was recommended to me about a year ago by a friend, and I snapped it up pretty quickly. Then, I sort of forgot I had it – despite the fact that it’s been buzzed about for a while. And, I’m pleased to report…

Outside-In Cheeseburgers
Let’s just start by getting the obvious out of the way. This is not health food. This is cheesy, beefy goodness. Please send my apologies to your swimsuit. But, I don’t think either of you will be disappointed. Outside-In Cheeseburgers Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 lb. lean ground beef Block of sharp white cheddar Worcestershire sauce…

Detangler: The Wet Brush
So, Ellie has been lucky enough to inherit my super-tangly hair. (It’s a thing. Trust me.) Brushing her hair elicits a series of shrieks and groans with which I completely sympathize. I’ve been grimacing every time I brush my hair for years, and poor Keegan can hardly take it. As you can imagine, we both jumped…
