I used to make white chicken chili all the freaking time. It got to the point where I could make it without checking the recipe, it came out the same every single time, and thanks to that, I got really sick of it. Adam got sick of it. Heck, I think our fridge got sick [...]

I have never made the same pot of chili twice. I try, but somehow my chili always comes out slightly different from the time before. I’ve even made a bit of a joke of it here on the blog, and if you search for chili, at least 10 different posts come up (maybe more!) It’s [...]

Usually, I brought my nut butter (sometimes peanut, sometimes almond, sometimes cashew) with preserves (sometimes apricot, sometimes strawberry, NEVER grape) on whole wheat bread, fruit, and graham crackers most days. There were, however, the occasional school lunch days when I just [...]

Adam and I are a little obsessed with Shrek and Shrek 2. No, really. Our cake topper at our wedding was Shrek and Fiona. We cut the cake to “Accidentally In Love” from Shrek 2. A period of time went by where we’d watch Shrek 2 almost every day! Don’t get me started on the [...]

Reality has officially set in, and we’re no longer in wedding-ville… soon enough though, in 15 days actually, we leave for our Jamaican honeymoon! For me, reality means grocery shopping and cooking. We did the shopping part yesterday, and I did some cooking today. Dinner was an old favorite: Chili Mac! As usual, it was [...]

About a month ago, I got an email from Christina who writes the fantastic blog Dinner at Christina’s about having a Chicagoland blogger potluck sometime in September, and I of course jumped at the chance! I love meeting other bloggers, and I also love cooking for other people, so it was the kind of event [...]
