Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

Holiday Hangover


Chocolate, jelly beans, and Peeps galore...Isn't it just the worst to be back from a nice holiday (and 3-day weekend) and stuck at work, nursing that holiday hangover? I spent my holiday traveling to family and running around in the cold, and eating cupcakes. Overall a great, holiday, but sadly, by the time I hit up Duane Reade for my coveted Reese's Peanut Butter egg, they were sold out...maybe next year.

My mind tells me that the best remedy is to hit the gym hardcore and start the week off on the right note. My body however, says No thanks...On a post-holiday Monday, I just want to curl up on the couch with Jack Bauer, Nathan Fillion, and a cupcake or two.

Any tips for post-holiday malaise?

went running today (pat on the back for me because i despise running) because i wanna look good in a bikini.
this was my playlist:
Fascination by: Alphabeat
My Life Would Suck Without You by: Kelly Clarkson
Untouched by: The Veronicas
That's Not My Name by: The Ting Tings

those are my favorite four because they have the best beat
