You know how people tell you to take a deep breath and sleep on it whenever you’re angry with someone? They say to write a note to the person, tuck it in a drawer, and decide in the morning if you’re going to send it or not. 99% of the time you wake up and realize it was a silly issue and you throw the letter away.
NOT THIS TIME. This is my letter. This is my letter to a certain recipe. A letter to a certain recipe in a certain cookbook that shall not be named. I don’t do well with kitchen failures. And I don’t do well with kitchen failures that are caused by poorly written recipes.

Call this what you want…the more I got into it, the quicker this became more of a wishlist… Either way, I hope this helps you check off a special someone on your list or find something fabulous for yourself!
1. This sweatshirt is adorable. They sell all kinds of stuff. All perfect for V-Day.
2. Kate Spade Be Mine Studs. You can’t go wrong with Kate.
3. JCrew Heart Key Chain. Great for a girlfriend or sister!
4. Little Hearts Note Cards. Snail mail is the definition of love.
5. Passport Case. Plus a trip to the city of love? K, thanks!
6. Vault ooh la la pillow. How amazing is this pillow??
Happy shopping and the hap-happiest of Mondays!

Can I admit something to you? We’re all friends here, right?
I don’t know who’s playing in the Super Bowl.
There. I said it. You know what I like about the Super Bowl? The family, friends, snacks, drinks, and commercials. You know what I don’t really like about the Super Bowl? Football.
I feel like a traitor. A disappointment. I feel so anti-American! BUT I don’t see this fact changing anytime soon.
Anywhooo… who wants snacks?
2. Lightened Baked Potato Boats
3. Charred Tomatillo Guacamole
5. Grilled Chicken Bacon Sliders
Go Chiefs!

Valentine’s Gift Guide: For Your Man
01 Friday Feb 2013

Ok, so buying for the man in your life is, at least for me, the most difficult thing on the planet. And lucky me, his birthday is only one short month later. Ugh. Here is a little gift guide for ya that might ease the stress a bit!
1. This Rail and Wharf Dopp Kit is a great grooming carry-all. Very dapper.
2. Hendrick’s Gin. At least in our house, the season of whiskey gingers is ending and the season of gin and tonics is beginning. Nothing says love like a nice bottle of gin.
3. The Food Truck Cookbook. Embarrassingly enough, I’m not that great of a cook. The GREAT news is that Matt rocks. This is a great man cookbook and is definitely a contender for this year’s perfect gift.
4. The perfect polo.
5. Ray–Ban Caravan Sunglasses. Love these.
6. Monogrammed Grill Tools. ‘Tis the grilling season!
Happy Weekend!
