I’m writing this from the grave because clearly I have died from not having any wine in four days. Or brownies. You know, the things that make the world go ’round. It’s not so bad really this time around – this whole 21 Day Sugar Detox thing. I was actually feeling really great for the […]
Dairy-Free Almond Joy Frappuccino
Guys, it’s hot here. And yes, you’re right. I WAS just complaining how cold it was here. You know what I’ve come to figure out a year after moving to Iowa? It has no fall or spring. It just goes from winter to summer to winter to summer. Today it’s over 100 degrees and I […]

Crockpot Mulled Sweet Wine
I know I’m supposed to be posting healthful recipes for the new year and all of you trying to change your lifestyle instead of boozery ones – and I promise those are coming – but: 1) it’s still the weekend and I think it should be a new rule that all New Years Day fall […]
