Tuesday Things.
1. Not only am I addicted to making chocolate chip cookies every night, we are eating a gigantic bowl of popcorn too. It’s a vegetable! A whole grain! Yeah this wouldn’t be an issue if bacon grease and butter weren’t included.
2. I’m attempting to clean out my magazine stash today. It is truly horrifying. It may bury me. It puts me at hoarder status.
3. Dying for these crispy tempeh caesar wraps. This looks SO good.
4. Yesterday, a neighbor that we had yet to meet came and plowed our driveway. It almost made me cry. Kindness people, kindness!
5. Tonnnns of new baby posts are live, including our baby favorites over the last six weeks. I want to eat his little cheeks.
6. Going to the store with a newborn has taught me one thing: I can’t be an idiot and try to carry 23 bags into the house at once. Because, like, why would I want to make multiple trips?
7. GIRLS is ridiculous and I had so much second hand embarrassment for Marnie, but in a different way that I usually have it for Hannah. Does anyone else get the vibe that Adam + Jessa might hook up? Yikes yikes. Ummm I also started watching The Bachelor seriously for the first time in probably five years. It kills me. An oldie but goodie – we’ve been rewatching The Office from the beginning on Netflix and laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt. I forgot how hilarious some of those first episodes are.
8. Uh – my life: 20 ways Sweet Valley High defined us. I always wanted to be Jessica (the name, she seemed cooler) but thought I was Elizabeth because I wanted to be a writer.
9. If you want to hear me embarrass myself in a seriously sleep deprived state, you can listen to the new season with sass podcast where I talked to my friends Peabody and Kita and simultaneously tried to keep a baby from crying.
10. There are still a few spots left in my brunch class this coming Saturday! COCKTAILS.
11. What are you making for the super bowl? Telllll me. Send help. I want to make all the dips.

First, thank you for being such a fabulous person. I love when I see a new blog entry and reading you and your hubby’s experiences with your baby. Adorbs.
It’s just the hubby and me, so we are having slow cooker bbq ribs via Brown Eyed Baker and bacon wrapped chorizo stuffed dates. yes.
Also, your white cheese pizza dip is the reason I have to work out. And your trashed up anythings.
you are so kind – THANK YOU!
I totally bookmarked that podcast and am going to listen to it tonight when I have free time and plenty of snacks. I’m weirdly obsessed with you & your life & your work.
Yay! We look forward to you listening to our podcast and hope you enjoy it!
Ugh, I wish I lived in Pennsylvania! Come to LA!
I was cleaning last weekend and found papers/bills from 2010. Um, I think 5 years is long enough. Baby posts = yea!
Seriously considering signing up for the class! (or if not this one, than any of the upcoming classes – how have I lived in Pittsburgh all my life yet had NO idea this existed??)
The dip I’m making is CRAZY SIMPLE, but the former coworker I grabbed the recipe from called it her crack dip and, yeah, the name fits. It’s a 1-1-1 deal: one pound of sausage, one car of salsa, and one package of cream cheese. Boom.
ahh please do!!
We have also been rewatching the office on Netflix. Some of them are so uncomfortable to watch, like Phyllis’ wedding.
You talked about Sweet Valley High!!! I like you even more now! That was my FAVORITE series growing up-I inherited my older (by 8 years) sister’s books, but none of my friends read them :( I found some at a thrift store the other day and had a mini freak out!
I am glad that I am not the only one with an endless stack of magazines that just keeps growing. My husband comments on the hoarding nature of it all the time!
If you need place to send those magazines, I am a high school psychology teacher in AZ and would love to have them! I teach a unit on Media/Advertising Psych every year and am always looking for old magazines to use for projects. Email me if it’s an option! :)
I’m making salty deep dark chocolate brownies from the Ovenly cookbook. Super excited to use black onyx cocoa powder for the first time! It smells like oreo so that can only mean they are going to be amazing!!!
I made and froze your better than crack brownies last night to take to a superbowl party, and am making bacon wrapped mini sausages with the brown sugar to ensure that everyone loves me even more.
I am totally a bring in all your grocery bags at once person too!
I had never watched a full episode of The Office, and my husband deemed that unacceptable (because it takes a couple of episodes to “get it”, he said). So we just started watching it from the beginning on Netflix, also. I’m hooked! It’s so funny! We just started season 3 last night, and we watch a few episodes each night assuming we’re not busy with other things. And, The Bachelor…I can’t quit! It’s so terrible, but great and I just can’t NOT DVR it!
I was just talking about Winston Egbert the other day.
You did not embarrass yourself. People are loving it!
Making for he superbowl? Easy Peesy! It is one of my favorite recipies and it is yours! It is the chicken (although I have substituted pulled bar-b-q pork for the chicken) stuffed sweet potatoes with the bacon, bar-b-q sauce,cheesy tops, etc. I make them ahead and then throw them in the oven to heat up. So, so good and very easy. LOVE them!
Have you SEEN these? I immediately thought of how they are totally you and that you were looking for super bowl ideas: http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2015/01/loaded-funfetti-dessert-nachos.html
OMG. omg.
I’m listening to the podcast, RIGHT NOW.
I made these wings for the Super Bowl and thought you might like them! http://www.acalculatedwhisk.com/2015/01/tahini-glazed-chicken-wings.html
Also probably making your black bean queso, which is always a hit!
Your chocolate chip cookie obsession passed onto me. I can’t believe I am saying this, but my family is over them. I recently cleaned out my magazines. I swear I filled our recycle bin. For Super Bowl I made chocolate chip cookies, vanilla cupcakes filled with dulce de leche & peanut putter frosting and caramel corn. I went a little wild!
