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!

Homemade Dog Treats

Attention all dog owners! Do you sometimes feel guilty for not making your dog's food? Do you feel like there is not enough time in your day to give your dog the wholesome nutrients that he could get from homemade dog treats? Well, fear not! For I have come up with the easiest recipe for dog ice cream. Read: it's only 2 ingredients. It takes 5 minutes, minus freezing time. This is a tried and true recipe that my dogs have tested and enjoy. Please keep in mind not to try this if your dog has any allergies to these 2 ingredients. What you will need: Plain yogurt Peanut butter-crunchy or not-whatever your dog likes a bowl a spoon ice cube tray freezer that's it  How to: Mix the yogurt and the peanut butter together with the spoon in the bowl. I usually eyeball the ingredients. My dogs don't care. Your dogs probably won't either. Scoop the mixture into an ice cube tray.

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...
