Christmas is coming, amiright? It’s hurling towards us at warp speeds. I haven’t bought or made a single gift. I don’t know what I will be baking. I’m in stage four Christmas denial. I know, I know. I don’t want to talk about it.
But, in my quest to un-denial myself (I don’t think that’s a thing), I teamed up with some of my blogging buddies to bring you 12 grain-free Christmas treats! Enjoy! Okay… let’s go drown our worries in cookies and cake. You in? […]

Hello, Bourbon.
Funny to run into you here. We just keep on meeting like this, don’t we? I’m into it. I’d much rather run into you than say, Mike’s Hard Lemonade. I ran into that dude a lot in college. He was a real headache. So, what I’m trying to say is… It’s nice to see you.
It’s no secret you’re one of my favorites. I’ve infused you with apples and you helped me celebrate my birthday. I’ve poured you over muddled raspberries in the summertime. I’ve mixed you with champagne in times of celebration. We’ve been through a lot together. I sometimes just keep it simple and sip you straight up. After all, you’re just as pretty without all that makeup (I hear flattery gets you everywhere–is it working?). […]
To say you don’t like cookies, would be like saying you don’t like happiness. Or puppies. Or air to breathe. Sure, there’s probably a variety of cookie you may avoid due to preference, allergies, or dietary restrictions – but who the heck doesn’t like the idea of a cookie?
I LOVE cookies.When I was young, we used to buy a big tub of cookie dough at Costco, which my brother and I would attack with a spoon (salmonella be damned!). I used to take a to-go box from my college cafeteria, and fill the entire thing with fresh-baked cookies. I’d go so far as to say that most of life’s problems can be calmed with a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk (or almond milk in the case of my early-30’s, late-onset lactose intolerance). There’s a great scene in the film Stranger Than Fiction that covers this idea.
Somehow I am not obese.

Howdy, Friends!
So, it’s kind of been GIVEAWAY CENTRAL around here lately, and today we’re continuing the fun with this $500 AMAZON GIFTCARD GIVEAWAY! Woo hoo!!
I sorta-kinda feel like Oprah. Only, I don’t get to point to each and every one of you and hand you pairs of my favorite sweatpants and bars of chocolate and expensive noise-canceling headphones. Also, no one is getting a car. That would be fun though, right? Okay, so, nothing like Oprah. But, you get it. I’ve been teaming up with lots of my lovely blogger friends in order to bring you some SWEET holiday giveaways. Have you entered to win my $100 Paypal Cash Giveaway? How about my Vitamix Giveaway? I’m telling you, it’s like a Santa’s workshop around here…but, with Oprah. No. Still no? Okay. I’m going to give up on the Oprah references. Maybe. […]
