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!

Eggnog Lattes, Cheesy Things & More

 

Are you a fan of eggnog? I love it, and this year in particular, like the Black Eyed Peas say, I just can't get enough. Today was my second consecutive day of stopping in Starbucks for a grande non-fat eggnog latte. I haven't looked up the calories in that yet, but something tells me that even the skim milk isn't doing me any favors. Ah well, 'tis the season and it only comes around once a year, right?

 

We have a fun weekend of family Christmas gatherings ahead and a little downtime on Sunday for the first time in a very.long.time. I can't wait to just sit by our tree, watch some (bad) football, snuggle with my Sweet P and maybe convince Shaun to watch a Christmas movie or two. 

 

I don't have five things for you today, but some fun links to share instead:

 

This 10 Month Old's Letter to Santa had me crying tears of laughter

 

If you are still feeling broken inside by the Sons of Anarchy season finale, EW has got lots of goodies to mull over (please don't post any spoilers here because my mom, who is a season behind, will kill me...but just know...I'm not over it and I'm with you!)

 

This article tells us the meaning behind your favorite cheese...I don't think I fit into any of these categories, but I do love ALL of these cheeses...is there a cheese for that?

 

Here's 50 Holiday Treat Ideas, in case you are in the market

 

Thanks to BuzzFeed for featuring my Pepperjack & Pimento Cheese Dip in the 25 Cheesy Dips That Will Make You Swoon..I'm particularly swooning over #s 1, 7, 10 & 20.

 

Have a great weekend everyone!
