Not that we’re anti or anything, and we love to go to Superbowl parties (not saying, just saying), but we just don’t have a TV. Kinda need one of those for the Superbowl. One time we tried to stream a live football game from the interwebs and somehow we ended up with a very scrachy, blippy, fuzzy NFL game with the audio all in Spanish....

comment icon 89 more comments We started it with big dreams and lots of willpower, and then these came along and we kind of fell off the wagon. But I’m proud to say that we’re back at it. And by we, I mean he. Yeah. Since I’m not really exactly doing the whole lifting weights thing, I figured the best thing I can do is try to start making some more high-protein (meat?...

If you’re looking for a one skillet, easy dinner recipe that’s full of flavor, look no farther than this 30-minute Asian-inspired stir fry! There’s plenty of juicy ground chicken, crisp-tender broccoli, red bell peppers and onions for extra flavor as well as a pop of bright color, and a sweet-yet-savory sauce that coats everything to perfection. The broccoli florets are like little sponges that soak it all up perfectly. Even if you have picky eaters, I promise when broccoli is made like this, they’ll be much more inclined to give it a try....

comment icon 55 more comments I mean, wow! Already? Tis the season! When it comes to Thanksgiving, there are two types: the type who makes a turkey, and the type who brings a salad. Do I even need to tell you which type I am? Bjork’s aunt called us yesterday and asked if I would rather bring a salad or a vegetable side. umm, HELLO. How could I ever NOT bring a salad?...

This beloved stuffing joins our other Thanksgiving staples each year, like my Easy Thanksgiving Turkey, Homemade Dinner Rolls, Sweet Potato Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, and Cranberry Sauce. Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions: Store leftover sausage stuffing in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. We technically should call this stuffing recipe “dressing”, since it is not cooked stuffed inside the turkey. I don’t recommend stuffing it in the cavity of your turkey because by the time it reaches a safe temperature to eat (165°F), the turkey breast meat will be overcooked....

The first time I felt Afton kick was on a tour bus in Lyon, France. We were driving by the river, all lit up at night – and with two teeny tiny pops, there he was. I smiled and cried because I was in France with my favorite person and our baby was saying hi for the very first time. It was too awesome. I became obsessed with trying to get Bjork to feel the kicks, but I was never fast enough....

Chocolate Oatmeal Bars Recipe I love oatmeal cookies. Add chocolate chips? Even better. Make them as easy cookie bars with a layer of fudge in the middle? Better yet. The chocolate chip oatmeal cookie bars are soft, chewy, and chock-full of texture. They’re hearty and packed with oats but aren’t overly crumbly or dry. I love oatmeal cookies that have as many oats packed in as possible, but often that means they lose softness and moistness, which isn’t the case with the bars....

-> CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE HERO ROSTER <- This post has been simmering away in my head and heart for a long time now. I’ve been saying I was going to put it together for the last three weeks – or, to be honest, the last YEAR, as the idea for a project like this first got me all excited and riled up long before this moment – but here I am at 4:32pm on my last possible day deadline and the studio is clean and our living room furniture has been re-arranged three times and I’m very caught up on Facebook and email – annnnd I have exactly zero words written down....

You guys! Things are busy around here! And I am hunnn-gry! Our office remodel is thisclose to being done, and it feels like all the big stuff (windows, doors, lighting, floors) is just steamrolling forward, and the whole project is just taking up a lot of my time and decision-making brain space, and it’s fun and also exhausting, and as a result this week’s meals have been… well, you can decide for yourself what you think they’ve been....

comment icon 21 more comments And by a bowl, I mean a box. And by Marshmallow Matey’s, I do not mean Lucky Charms. Seriously? I’m not even going to defend that. Some of you might think that when a bowl of Matey’s has just taken over your life, you lose interest in other delicious dessert booty such as cheesecake brownies. But you are dead wrong. Matey’s or no Matey’s, fudgy brownies packed with chocolate chips and swirled with a layer of sweet, mild, white chocolate cheesecake will win me over every time....

If you love easy dessert recipes, you’ll love my Original Gooey Butter Cake, Funfetti Cupcakes and easy Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Why I love this cake: Easy – Sheet pan cakes are so quick to whip together, and this one bakes in just 20 minutes!...

This camera lens It’s really expensive. And I think I am going to buy it anyway…. …After I handle Item #1. Which is so imminently close that by month’s end it will be done. And the noose from my neck will be gone. The practical side of me cannot in good conscience buy something like that until I take care of business. The Rules are Meant to be Broken side of me would like to blow off work and spend a week back Here...
