Start the week off right with a little salty chocolately goodness.
I have two new favorite things. Birkenstocks and new Pretzel M&Ms. Birks make my poor aching plantar fasciitis feet feel happy again for the first time in months. Not to be outdone, new Pretzel M&Ms make my soul happy.
Amen, and amen.
Because it’s Monday, and because my friend Ken hand-delivered my first bag of Pretzel M&Ms to my desk today after I begged all of Facebook to tell me where I could find them, and because they

First if all, I’ll thank all y’all true Italians out there not to hold me to any level of authenticity in this post. If you’re looking for true Italian cooking, I can probably save you some time here and say “Buy”. But since we’re more of a delivery family, I wanted to give this an honest effort.
So do you remember by original Make or Buy post about sandwich bread? I used my very favorite cookbook, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, to whip up a

Tomorrow, the fam and I are hitting the road in order to surprise my dad for an early Father’s Day thing. Even though my mom is willing to make the trip north, my dad’s not big on the city and so we haven’t seen him since Christmas. It’s been too long.
My dad is awesome. The best. He’s a sappy, gushy kind of guy, and has mad skills.
Don’t believe me?
Well my daddy built this here car. From scratch. And it runs. And it’s won awards — and it’s

I’m starting a new section of the blog-o-rama in the coming weeks for product reviews and giveaways. This is crazy exciting to me because I am a huge (HUGE!) proponent of telling the world when you love something.
And because I have no talent in the secret-keeping department (unless of course, the secret is yours, then I’m a vault. But if it’s my secret, fahgeddabahdit), I’m totally going to spill the beans. Right. Now. And tell you what’s in store in the coming weeks.
First, because I love love love

Whew! Wow, what a week. First of all, I need to do a little happy dance *shuffle*kick*wiggle*waggle* because I won the Blanqi giveaway over at The Busy Budgeting Mama! Let me just say that I am insanely, ridiculously excited about this giveaway because I had been planning to buy one in each color when the two pink lines next show up for us. When I showed Sean the extreme deliciousness of the Blanqi, there was a little “rawr” and then the suggestion… “you should get the black one“.

So this weekend I’m hoping to whip out the very first Adventures on Veggies and I need to hear from you. Talk to me about brussel sprouts, people. I’m not gonna lie…I’m terrified of those nasty green little buggers, and I need some solid advice, recipes, funny stories and anything else you’ve got to throw my way in preparation. Clearly they’re fantastic for you, so somebody out there must have something to share.
seriously. i can't write about them without you. hit me up with

Today is Mother’s Day…my first with the munchkin outside of my belly, and it was a really nice one. Went to church, flower shopping with Sean’s parents and had an early dinner at my favorite restaurant.
Don't hate. It was as good as it looks. That's asparagus pea risotto, baby. Yum-O.
Flower shopping at my favorite local nursery. iBaby was close to passed out in the kokopax the whole time.
Now we’re about to put the little iBaby to bed and I’m listening to Sean play with her
