Family Affair – Cooking Edition
I am kind of OBSESSED with my Auntie N. She is amazing, and has always been more of an older sister to me than an Aunt. She guides me when I need guiding... Is a sounding board when I need sounding, offers incredible words of wisdom & logic, makes the BEST most KICK ASS (Gluten, Dairy, Sugar FILLED) Chocolate Lava Cakes and is the funniest person I've ever met. I have the most special relationship with her and am SO grateful for it! That relationship has also transferred to her offspring Z ... VIEW POST

And for the past 6 years, I've either gotten take out, ate at the restaurant I work at, or my WONDERFUL man-friend would cook! The best part is HE LIKES TO! I even messed up grocery shopping one too many times that for the last ... VIEW POST
Kill all the things!
April 24th, 2016 - I woke up like a kid on Christmas (or since I'm Jewish a kid on their Bat Mitzvah day) - Despite the full fledged sinus infection I had working through me, I got up SO excited to make breakfast, because I knew I would FINALLY start to feel better. The first day was a breeze, but having read all the PDF, Book & blogs, I knew it was probably about to get much much worse... The second day, was much like the first, except I had a little more energy and didn't experience the ... VIEW POST
