Fun Fact: When I was just a mere five years old, we moved to Colorado. And not only did I see mountains for the first time, I saw Walmart. I will always remember this wondrous place. We didn’t have ANYTHING like it back home in Pennsylvania, and it was fascinating for a child – they had EVERYTHING! In one place! Especially in Colorado where things are so spread out, it… Keep Reading
Ok so that game on Sunday night has us all a little extra sad this week as we know the beloved black and gold won’t be heading to the Big Game in Houston. But what better time to embrace the cold and game as a way to drown our sorrows in food! This of course means – why spend all the time in the kitchen? January is always my “month… Keep Reading
It seems the Big Game was strategically planned to occur during the perfect time of year. By the end of February, everyone is giving up on their resolutions. It’s cold. It’s dark. And all we want is to mindlessly binge eat while watching our black and yellow march a few steps closer to that final game. So what does one do? You battle cabin fever with edible crafts (Who builds… Keep Reading
Growing up, Saturday mornings were about completing your chores, watching cartoons and collecting the circulars so mom could see what each store had on sale for that week. We’d clip coupons while watching my favorite show, Power Rangers. I didn’t realize the importance of what my mom was teaching me until adulthood – I just liked cutting shapes and getting to watch TV! Now that I do my own grocery… Keep Reading
Most people don’t like the cold (evidence – how many people move to Florida when they retire?). But me, I love the snow and cold. I spent a lot of my childhood in Colorado, and wouldn’t change it for any sandy beach. This also means that winter is one of my favorite times to run. You’ve seen me running in the Poconos, and now this winter, I’m out running in… Keep Reading
Everyone has some sort of holiday tradition of baking holiday cookies. For us, it’s spending one entire day baking dozens and dozens to mail out to family and friends. Although we’ve shared countless precious memories with flour on our faces and tasting our new delicious concoctions, the memory of going to the grocery store during the holiday season, especially here in NYC, for all of the ingredients is like a… Keep Reading
We’ve had Home Alone, Christmas Vacation and Elf on repeat this week, and while we laugh, they all have a common theme – they make fun of all the disasters that come with the holidays. From leaving your child behind on a trip to Europe (shudders), to burning down Christmas trees, it’s funny to relish in other’s mishaps – until it happens to you. Last year alone, over 12,000 people… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year when you say F it, you’ll make your new years resolutions in January and eat that Christmas cookie. But let’s be honest, do you ever really keep those resolutions anyways? I haven’t made or stuck to resolutions in eight years because I know I set myself up for failure. Instead, I’ve learned to just start. right. now. You have to give yourself lots of little… Keep Reading
I maybe have earned my New Yorker card after 7 years in this city, but my heart is still (and always will be) Yinzer. If I had to say my favorite way to dress was “down” and that I can pull it off – totally. Yinzer in my blood means looking good while not trying to look like you actually care. Is Yinzer the original Hipster? I mean, boys in… Keep Reading
Once upon a time a little girl grew up on a farm in the heart of dairy country PA. She loved to wake up early with her grandparents and head down to the barn to milk the cows. After a simple, mid-afternoon lunch of chipped chopped ham sandwiches on the wraparound porch, she would visit her Amish neighbors to drop off some fresh milk and help feed the hens and… Keep Reading
