I was hungry, I didn’t feel like doing any real cooking, and I was out of peanut butter, so I grabbed an avocado and started pretending like I knew what to do with it. Fake it ’til you make it, they say. They’re smart.
Snickers Apple Salad
Look, it’s the Holidays. Close enough, anyway. Basically this means that we’re all about to get super fat. I thought it’d be nice of me to share a nice, light salad recipe with you. You know, because salad is super healthy. This super nutritional salad is full of things like apples (fruit!) and Snickers candy [...]
Lazy Day Banana Muffin Recipe
There’s something you should know about me. I’m not a baker. No. Really. I’m not. I have minor difficulties following recipes which can be disastrous when said recipe calls for baking powder and you add baking soda instead. Who knew there was such a big difference? But I also have a slight addiction to baked [...]
Milk Dud Brownies
It only took about 5 dates (if that) for me realize that I didn’t like my future husband’s mother. She was mean, y’all. No, really. Mean. Also? Scary. She didn’t like me back, so it’s cool. We pretended to like each other and one day we just kind of meant it. Fake it til you [...]
Cheesy Bacon Ranch Bread
Have you ever done squats? If not, good for you. You’re smart. Squats are dumb. You can continue living with happy, pain-free thighs. I, unfortunately, am not that lucky. I did squats. Not on purpose or anything. It’s just that I’m a photographer and sometimes I photograph kids. Kids are great and all, but did [...]
A Brilliant Breakfast for the Less Than Brilliant Mind
Oscar Wilde once said that “Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.” If that’s true, then I am far from being dull because brilliance usually eludes me until around noon–after two or three cups of coffee. I am definitely not a morning person. Mike, my husband, is not a morning person either. He actually slept [...]

EZPZ: Reduce Kitchen Labor by Cooking Like a Bachelor
Increase your kitchen efficiency by living like a broke-ass college kid.
EZPZ FAIL: My-My-My Orange Face.
Last week, I tried to instigate a cleaning product revolution. Oh, come on, what says Aiming Low more than wiping your counters off with the same stuff you use to make salad dressing? Or maybe smearing avocado dip on your face? Except maybe … waaaait… not.cleaning.AT.ALL. Well. That would have been a useful thought about [...]
How To Roast a Chicken without Burning Down the House {Recipe}
Roast chicken with veggies is one of our favorite family meals. It is delicious, comforting, and a classic. It’s even a great dish to serve at a dinner party. Any cook worth her weight needs to know how to roast a chicken. The good news is that even the laziest, most inexperienced cook can roast [...]
*EZPZ* The Cast Iron Skillet and the Outdoor Burner: Taking Manly Cooking Beyond the Grill
As I’ve mentioned previously, at our house, we like to have delicious, fresh, home-cooked food that doesn’t require too much labor. To that end, one staple we like to make sure we have on hand at all times is meat. Big slabs of high-quality animal tissue. If you aren’t into gnawing on the flesh of [...]
