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!

Friday Fun

{I think this image from someecards is showing what men THINK happens but doesn't quite capture reality...Shaun claims this is our life. I think not.}

Hi there! Sorry I've been missing this week, but work has been a little crazy and so it's all I can do to not completely pass out as soon as I hit the couch at 8pm. I'm really looking forward to a three day weekend ahead, filled with a little relaxation time (I hope!). My DVR is overflowing and just begging to be watched, not to mention a plethora of football on Sunday afternoon that's primed for homemade wings and pizza dip

Meanwhile, here are some other things I'm digging this week:

Jersey City, which will house the teams for the Superbowl at the Meadowlands in just a couple of weeks, has commissioned a street artist for this awesome celebratory mural.

Oscar noms were announced this week...have you seen any of these films? I've only seen American Hustle and loved it! Next on my list are Her and Dallas Buyers Club...that is, if I ever get to go to the movies again...

...while the SAG awards are tomorrow night. Not sure how I feel about them on a Saturday night, but then I realized that I don't go anywhere anyway, so no bigs.

I can't wait to try this recipe for homemade coffee creamer

Not sure how I arrived at this, but apparently the city I should live in is Tokyo...hmm...

And finally, does anyone know if the brownie batter donut is coming back this year? It so reminds me of Penelope's birth, since not only was it the last thing I ate before going into labor (#healthy obviously), but we proceeded to eat them for days and days following since so many people brought them to the hospital for us to enjoy...

 

I hope you all have a great weekend!

What are your plans?
