Apple Crumb Cake
If you’re going to bake over the holidays (which you are. Don’t even lie.), might I suggest this treat? Crumb cake is my kryptonite. Apple crumb cake might actually kill me.
Green Bean Casserole
Yesterday I posted on four Thanksgiving dishes you should steer clear of. Today I’m being more constructive and giving you a recipe you *should* actually make. Chances are, you already have all the ingredients for this delicious take on Green Bean Casserole in your pantry and fridge, so really, you have no excuse not to […]
Take Your Turkey and Stuff It: Four Thanksgiving Foods that Should Be Banned
So I fell off the NaBloPoMo horse for a few days. Big surprise there. Seriously, the fact that I’ve managed to log in more than three times this entire month is nothing short of miraculous and I owe it all to the copious amounts of coffee I’ve been drinking. If you smell something off, it’s […]

Nearly Wordless Wednesday – erm, Thursday: Sticktoittiveness
Next time you think you can’t do something, just remember that there are self-aware signs all over our country that are making it in the real estate biz. That pile of laundry doesn’t look too daunting now, does it? ♥ This is the tenth installment of National Emily Posts Month (NaEmPoMo). Connect on Facebook […]
