Pinterest-Perfect (and Indian Butter Chicken)

Savory, creamy Indian Butter Chicken. Easy enough to prep the night before, or even double (triple or quadruple) to keep hidden in the freezer for a busy week.

Pinterest-perfect. I know I’m guilty of it. I have boards upon boards of furniture, lighting, party ideas, gifts, style, vacation ideas and of course, RECIPES. All of them just waiting to be combined and perfectly executed, well some of the time.Every once in a while though, you come across some seemingly easy, delicious, meal and it takes a quick turn for disaster. First off, the photos are amazing, even the inedible looks delicious. They usually have a few “simple” ingredients, a short to-do list, and swear they’re the easiest thing ever. It appeals to every busy mama out there, right?

Morning People (and Overnight Oatmeal)

Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am NOT a morning person. There, I’ve said it. Everyone in my household, myself included, has come to accept that I am not one of those amazing creatures who rolls out of bed in the best of moods, regardless of how little or poorly they’ve slept. I need to ease into the day, preferably with copious amounts of caffeine or I become what my children like to refer to as: the Mommy Monster. Sorry kids.

Cooking Burnout (and Ropa Vieja)

I don’t want to cook. Really now, the Eat24 app has been my BFF for the last few weeks. Between Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the long list of Holiday parties and events, I’ve been clocking some serious kitchen time. I LOVE cooking, but the weeknight dinners between those big feasts are starting to get to me, go figure. See, I am human. Don’t tell my kids. Continue reading “Cooking Burnout (and Ropa Vieja)” →
