Ok, but is it an overstatement to say that coconut milk ice cream has changed my life?

Ugh.
I am just so tired of getting hooked up to machines, you guys. I have had so many invasive and non-invasive heart tests in the past 5 or 6 years I can’t even keep track. I had a follow up with the cardiologist today, and they did another EKG then gave me a Holter monitor to wear for the next 48 hours. I am wrapped up in wires and I’m not allowed to shower for two days. If this Holter...

I was playing The Ungame with a 12 year old client today (it is a game of questions, kind of like truth or dare but only truth.) One of the questions was about what you would do for $5 million. We talked about it for a minute. She said she wouldn’t kill anybody, then thought better of it and said “well you know that guy who killed Trayvon Martin? I would probably kill him. Maybe for...

This is my wild rice jambalaya, aka boyfriend fuel. He LOVES this stuff because it’s meaty. I love it because it has all the components of a perfect meal: healthy, easy, one-pot, and super delicious. Try it, you’ll love it too.

This is the kind of rice I used! It’s delicious, but any kind of rice would be fine- white, brown, wild, or even quinoa probably.

Man, summer is always a weird time for me.
TW for ED, body issues, etc.
I grew up in Florida and basically lived outside throughout my childhood. Weekends were always spent at the beach or the pool, or some combination of both, endlessly and for as long as I can remember. I had beach birthday parties every year, in January (which never struck me as odd until I moved to a colder climate.) Bathing suits were just a part of life.
I...

This is a cake pop.
There are all kinds of blogs and magazine articles that will tell you that these are Fun! and Easy! and Delicious! But in reality only one of these is true (hint: it’s the last one.) They take like five hours to make and create such an epic mess in your kitchen that you will swear to never make another twee-ass dessert again. But in this case, for my best friend’s 8-year sobriety...

Aw, we just got our first hummingbird of the summer! We set out the feeder two weeks ago and I was starting to worry that they wouldn’t come. I love those little shits.

Listen,
I’m going to baby name-snark for a sec here.
A friend of a friend, whom I thankfully do not know, just named their newborn child Cullen. I mean. Really people, must we? I don’t even know you and I’m disappointed in you.
I guess at least it wasn’t Renesmee.
Sometimes the only answer is cheeseburgers. Incidentally I just ate the best one ever. Happy Friday everyone.

You guys.
My YA book is coming along so well and I am so excited that it’s kind of silly. It just feels good to be writing again and to see a story taking shape in front of my eyes. Last night my mom helped me figure out a major plot element and finding that puzzle piece led to like five other developments that are going to be awesome.

Kale and cantaloupe
Exciting night.
Kale chips. So hot right now. Pro tip: you will like these if you like the crispy outsides of roasted brussels sprouts. Which I do.
First fresh cantaloupe of the summer. It cost $1.85, which I thought was quite a steal. I think I might dry a couple of these seeds and plant them, just for funsies.
