Mexican Mocha Milkshakes (And Alotta Alliteration)
Heat has happened here.
Sun sure’s scorching.
Temperature topped triples today.
It’s #*$%ing hot out.
Which probably explains why I’ve been craving frosty milkshakes like it’s my J-O-B. Cold, cold milkshakes in a festival of fun flavors.
It’s An Albion Fit Giveaway!
I may have mentioned that I like to run.
I run as frequently, as far, and as fast as my body and my schedule will allow, all in the name of mac n’ cheese, pizza, and cake. Ohhhh the cake.
The truth is that I enjoy running – it’s the one time of day that I can decompress, filter my thoughts, and clear the cobwebs. And as with anything else, having the proper equipment on hand only makes things more fun.
Which is why I was so delighted to come across Albion Fit.
Albion Fit deals in women’s fitness, swimwear, and workout clothing, and, man, do they do it right. I was lucky enough to take their Mantra Yoga Pant and Love Racer tank for a spin; the pants have a lovely fold-down waist, notched hems, and a fabulous fit. I love them. But let me tell you about the tank.
Let’s Talk Nachos
Doesn’t it seem like there’s an expert on everything these days?
Surfing experts!
Snake handling experts!
Couponing experts!
I even tuned into the TODAY Show the other day and found Natalie and Savannah being schooled by a dishwasher loading expert! (At which point I questioned, for the 121st time, why I watch The Today Show!)
I have never climbed on a surf board, I generally try to avoid snakes and coupon clipping, and, as A. will most certainly confirm, I am far from an expert when it comes to loading my poor, put-upon dishwasher.
I am, however, a confirmed Nacho Expert, both in terms of preparation and consumption.
And today, I’d like to share some of my most expert tips with you.
Expert! Get ready!

That person with that habit you swore you’d never, ever, ever, never -not EVER- be like?
Don’t forget, this is truth talk time…

In Skillets: Dulce Apple Cobbler
There really isn’t that much to say about this cobbler… Except maybe that it is the work of 1 humble skillet, 11 simple ingredients and 40 short minutes in the oven. Or perhaps that it’s the perfect vehicle for crisp, sweet, springtime apples, such as the lovely Pink LadyRead More →
In Skillets: Spring Pea Quesadillas

Loaded Carrot Cupcakes
Loaded. Loaded, I tell you! I think there are two camps when it comes to carrot cake: (1) Just stick with the carrots. (2) Throw lots of other stuff in the mix and go absolutely nuts with it. I’m a go absolutely nuts with it person. For sure.Read More →
