I wasn’t going to do a 2011 “Best Of What’s for Dinner” post for a few reasons, but mainly, and completely honestly, I don’t particularly want to look back on 2011. It started out with the absolutely worst week of my life so far. Starting the year out with the death of my dad was [...]

I had a BFF date tonight with Lizz and Skylar. We hit up IKEA and definite shenanigans ensued. First, there’s really nothing quite like a 5-almost-6-year-old at IKEA. And we discovered that IKEA now sells stuffed vegetables and fruit. Please meet Broccoli, Carrot, and Strawberry. Broccoli went home with Lizz and Skylar. Fun decor and [...]

I’ve waxed poetic about meals before. I’ve said before that a dinner was “the best ever”. I was wrong. I was invited by the lovely Jackie from I Am A Feeder to join her during the Chicago leg of her “great adventure” for the experience that is dinner at Alinea, the famous restaurant by chef [...]
