2015 In Review

by Leave a Comment

Guys, it's the last day of the year.  Can you even believe it?  It seems like five seconds ago that we were welcoming our neighbor's baby into the world and having a really quiet little NYE at our place with food and friends this time last year.  This year we're a family of THREE, we're having an even more quiet NYE, and it's been just the best year.  Also, as of about 6 weeks ago I was still writing 2014 on hospital forms, so let's see how long it takes 2016 to sink in!  Probably until 2020.  wp-1451420742899.jpg

Stop, please, time.  kthanks.

About a Beck - 3 weeks!

AND TOMORROW SHE'LL BE APPLYING TO COLLEGE.  wp-1451420775457.jpg

I mean, really.  How is time flying so fast?  Days (and REALLY nights) sometimes feel so long, but weeks are scampering by and this girl is big and growing and changing and just UGH.  Stop, time, please.  kthanksbye. 

We are settling into a little routine as a family of 3, and by routine I mean that there is no routine and so the "plan" is to never know what's going to happen ever but to try really hard to brush our teeth every day.  Bonus if we do it twice.  Ew, I know.

Buffalo Oven Fries

by Leave a Comment

Ok, so I fully intended to save these for the Super Bowl, but then I realized that 1. that is a long way off, 2. these are delicious, and 3. there is football this week!  Right now!  Not to be ignored!  IMG_8553

So I'm showing you these now.  I actually made them a few weeks ago while I was still pregnant on a Saturday when we were organizing baby things and watching football as a family of 2, which is really weird to think about.  Now there's a BABY in a swing next to me that I am supposed to take care of.  Fo life.  

I'm cool with it.  

Anyway.  These potatoes.  I absolutely love buffalo anything, as has been displayed on this blog throughout the years.  One of my fav dishes is a buffalo chicken wrap, the kind you can find at almost any sports bar, and dang if it's been awhile since I've had one.  I'm more of a ranch + buffalo kind of girl, but blue cheese will work in a pinch for sure.  The problem with 99% of buffalo stuff in restaurants is that it really doesn't work for vegetarians, so I try to make a few things here and there without meat so that Jay can have the buffalo flavor minus the meat.  IMG_8555

All THAT to say, if you have football-watching plans this weekend like we do Thursday at 4pm, you might want to shop for ingredients for this snack - they'll disappear in a heartbeat and are oh-so-buffaloey.
