Here is a simple last minute tutorial for a cute pumpkin. This is what I decided to do this year. And by this year, I mean 10 minutes ago during Stevie’s nap. Playing up the ombrè trend. Our carved pumpkins always seem to fail, so paint is the way to go! Supplies: Pumpkin 3 paint…
There’s a reason I don’t have many In The Kitch posts. And you may think it’s because I just don’t like cooking. Which is true. But it’s also because it is farkin’ impossible with Stevie. Even this simple dish took farkin’ forever and all it required was some chopping. But 45 minutes of chopping and…
This dressing makes the salad. So yummy – sweet, tart, bacon – and easy as pie. Probably much easier than pie actually. I’ve never even tried making pie. Maybe someday. Probably not. Never mind the fact that as I blog about this yummy salad, I am, in fact, eating a plain turkey sandwich on a paper…
I’m sure you guys have all seen some of the adorable mantle displays out there. And some people are so impressive to change their mantle decor with every season or holiday! I am not one of those people. In fact, my mantle has been the same since the dawn of time. There’s nothing wrong with…
I can’t take any credit for this. My husband makes the most killer french toast. The key ingredient is the bread. He buys his Challah Bread from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on the west side of town, and it is so delicious. I’ve heard there is better (and cheaper) out there, but so far…
If you thought the back seam on my curtains was bad, wait til you see this…. I’ve really wanted a cute clock for our cute patio, but I don’t like any of the outdoor clocks I’ve seen. I thought maybe I could just take a super simple one and paint it to my liking… And…
Rainy day project! Poor Stevie was feeling sick anyway with a fever and some barfies. So he took a nice, long nap to sweat it out. While he slept, I had time to work on a project that I’ve been wanting to try for awhile; new curtains for our dining room/office. I found the look…
I have an announcement. I made something that actually resembled food. And it was good! I present to you Sauteed Lemon Tilapia: I found the recipe here but I did modify it just a tiny bit because I couldn’t find peppercorns. Not the ones they used anyway. So I used delicious capers in my butter sauce…
I’ve had an intense craving for cookies the last couple days. So today, since I have all this extra time from not shopping, I decided cookies had to be made! I did a quick glance in my cupboards for ingredients and realized I didn’t have eggs. Dang, a pretty basic ingredient for cookies. Normally I’d…
Dinner was supposed to look like this: But ended up looking more like this: NAILED IT! Psh. So listen, my New Year’s goals are always pretty much the same. 1) Be more mindful of how money is being spent 2) Cook at home more 3) Live a more active lifestyle I wouldn’t say I live…
