Turkey Day Noms

Thanksgiving is just ONE more day away. In honor of all things gobble gobble, here are a few of my favorite foods that my family and myself overindulge on. 

Garlic Mashed Potatoes


Here is the recipe.
I also add a pinch of rosemary and top it with shredded cheese for extra cholesterol.


Sweet Potato Casserole



This is a delicious and healthy recipe you can find here.
The fruity, colorful marshmallows are actually a delicious substitute for regular.


Cranberry Sauce


It's best to keep it classic and simple with the sauce.
So much better than the weird, jellied can stuff.
I add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Here's a good go-to recipe.


Asparagus with Almonds


Maybe not as traditional, but so easy to make and it immediately makes you feel fancy pants.
This recipe is so short and simple, it'll make you feel like a master chef.


Chocolate Pie


Mouth-watering, scrumptious, I'm dying. Screw the pumpkin pie. I want this home-made slice of heaven.
Please, if you make this recipe here, promise you'll make homemade whipped cream too.


And yes, of course we eat turkey (no tofurkey, turducken, whatever) and squash, but that's too obvious to mention.
Wishing you all the happiness on this Thanksgiving and holiday season!

life hacks: cleaning edition

So, I recently undertook the project of painting my front door. I moved in a little over a year ago, and every time I came home, I would just groan, UGH. I need to do something about that. The door was a dark green with so many scratches on it I couldn't bear to look for more than a few seconds. Fast  forward to the present, and VOILA! A shiny new (looking) door. The only problem was that there was sticky residue from the tape that I had used to help with my lines. I couldn't get it off no matter how much windex I used. Then I found a neat-o trick that has thus inspired me to write on an ever-popular topic. Life Hacks. Here are a few that I have found useful and save me more time to hang out with my family, watch TV, whatever I want. Clean sticky residue from tape off glass with canola oil. I have only tried this with canola oil, but I have read up that it works with a lot of other oils, olive, essential, even cooking spray. I simply pour a bit on a paper towel and use...
