If you’re not familiar with Clubhouse, I suggest giving it a Google. It’s supposed to be the next big thing, and I’ve been on it since November. That’s not a flex, I just happen to have a friend who has been on it for a while and she invited me […]

Baked Eggs with Potatoes and Vegan Cheddar Cheese
Alright I’m going to level with you – I don’t make a ton of things with vegan products. For those of you who know me, that’s probably not a huge shock, but I’ve been experimenting a bit more here and there (due to slightly elevated cholesterol levels), and I’ve actually […]
Heartbreak Anxiety, Meditation, and Vodka Sauce
As we approach the ever-dreaded holiday that is Valentine’s Day this Sunday, I thought I’d share some anecdotes of heartbreak anxiety and my recipe for Vodka sauce. Because well, I have a lot of vodka on hand these days. Here’s why. As some of you may know, I’m going through […]
Super Bowl Recipes and a Tale of Two Parties
It’s almost that time of year! Unfortunately, this year looks a lot different than the Super Bowls from days of yore. Prior to Covid (and my own life blowing up in my face), I used to host a BIG Super Bowl party for my friends every year in my apartment. […]
Football Snacks: Skillet Buffalo Chicken Dip
I have been craving Buffalo Chicken Dip like crazy lately, and then it dawned on me: it’s because my stomach knows it’s football season. I’ve made Buffalo Chicken Taquitos before, but not the actual dip by itself. Weird, right? So I did what any normal person would do and ran […]
Being Self-Aware and OK With Your Baggage
I know this may come as a shock to most of you reading this, and especially for those of you who know me, but I like who I am. I’m 36 years old and I’m pretty self-aware. I’ve been around long enough to know who I am, what I like, […]
Feeling Blue? Here’s Some Feel-Good Movies and Shows
I don’t think it’s much of a secret that we’ve had a bad year. Crying Cat above is the official meme of 2020. Now we’re in 2021 though so…yay? I am going through my own personal hell currently, so while I work on finding the courage to talk about it, […]
Resolutions Are Overrated, Try a Realistic Goal
GASP. Starting off 2021 with a pinch of cynicism, just the way I like it. Sorry to be blunt, but let’s be serious. People put such lofty goals and resolutions upon themselves every year that most of the time, they don’t achieve them or even come close. Why is that?? […]
Air Fryer Spanakopita Triangles
One of the most delicious things ever, but definitely a labor of love. You can go right ahead and blame the phyllo dough for this one. It’s one of those mystery doughs – I have no idea how they get it like that, but I’m not going to question it. […]
