For the un-holidays

For the un-holidays by Heather Wetzel

I’ve never aspired to be one of those bloggers who preps you for the upcoming holiday by testing recipes in advance and posting them all during the month. I started this blog as a way to share things that I make because I want to make them, and as much as I love turkey and stuffing, I only want to make it once in the month of…

Guinness is Good for You

Guinness is Good for You by Heather Wetzel

Christmas has come and gone, as has the 4-day weekend that went along with it. The snow seemed to follow us down South this year, which is an extremely rare occasion in December. I didn’t like that part, but the rest of the trip, for the most part, was a blast.Plus, the majority of the gifts I took home were cookbooks, or cooking…

Sous Chef

Sous Chef by Heather Wetzel

There is undoubtedly a yin yang-type vibe going on when it comes to having your house on the market. It’s über clean, which is exactly awesome. And when you have to repaint your walls, a process I like to call “borifying”, it appears less like your own home and thus easier to say goodbye to, when the time comes.At the same time, it…

Shuckin’ Awesome

Shuckin’ Awesome by Heather Wetzel

If I were single, I’d carry around a checklist so that I could easily weed in or weed out potential mates. Maybe not a physical list, but perhaps a note on my iPhone or something a little less obvious…But seeing as how I haven’t needed to think about that for quite some time now, I’d probably be pretty clueless about what to include…

For Everyday Life

For Everyday Life by Heather Wetzel

I’ll confess – I meant to leave you with a sweet treat before heading out for vacation, I swear it. Because I knew that when I got back, I’d be cutting back on the sweets for a while. The truth is, I totally forgot to, and there’s really no excuse other than that. I opened up this here site after another week of being away from it and…

Scrooge-like

Scrooge-like by Heather Wetzel

It’s safe to say that I typically do not post recipes here in time for the holiday at hand. Thanksgiving is full of good food around here, and I never seem to make any pre-turkey day trial dishes; I’m a big fan of winging it with new things, and it’s safe to say that most things Thanksgiving are tried and true repeats from our…

Real Life

Real Life by Heather Wetzel

I’m going to tell you a little about how things go down around these parts when the weekend rolls in. Don’t get too excited – it isn’t nearly as fascinating as I’m suggesting it is. But that doesn’t stop me from talking about it, so here goes.We generally kick things off as soon as we get home on Friday. Chris has the luxury of…

Before I Forget

Before I Forget by Heather Wetzel

Did everyone have a thoroughly enjoyable weekend? Did you have an easter egg scavenger hunt? Or eat a lot of chocolate bunnies? Cadbury creme eggs (man, I could tear one of those down right now, never mind the fact that I just shoved a piece of cake into my face…)? Did you wear really lame-looking pastel-colored outfits with bow ties…

Party in your Mouth

Party in your Mouth by Heather Wetzel

What was your all-time favorite snack when you were a kid? Did you eat a ton of Chips Ahoy cookies? Oreos? (and let me clarify – it’s totally a-ok to still consider these your favorites.) Twizzlers? How about some Combos? Oh, those were the days – I chose the ones in the green bordered bag. And man, I used to swoon over Bugles, so…

All Dressed Up

All Dressed Up by Heather Wetzel

I don’t always like to dress up. I barely ever wore skirts or dresses, but I’m getting a little better about that. As long as they still hide my “Hall knees”.I don’t like to wear a lot of jewelry. I haven’t bought an accessory in years, and for some reason I just keep wearing the same necklaces I’ve always worn. I have a box of rings,…

they were perfect

they were perfect by Heather Wetzel

The hotel where we stayed after our Lost Coast hike didn’t serve the most amazing breakfasts I’ve ever had in my life. There weren’t 3-course breakfasts complete with pancakes, stratas, poached eggs, and sticky buns. There weren’t fancy cappuccinos and passion fruit. Shoot, we were lucky to get the breakfast we’d “ordered” given the…
