The “Everything is Awesome” Totally Amazing Lego Party!
If you have a child between the ages of 3 and 13, chances are, you've seen The Lego Movie and have endured enjoyed endless hours of "Everything is Awesome" being sung, hummed, whistled and generally trapped in your subconscious. My little rugrats can be found most days sprawled on the floor singing as they create… Continue reading The “Everything is Awesome” Totally Amazing Lego Party!
Gaining Perspective on Gifts – Operation Christmas Child
Before all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season ramps up to full absurdity roar, we've taken a few moments as a family to put some perspective on gifts for our kids. This week, you can do the same, and bless a child in need at the same time. With the simple gift of… Continue reading Gaining Perspective on Gifts – Operation Christmas Child
Cranberry Upside Down Coffeecake
Confession. I'm a giant bookworm. It's a condition that dates back to my early childhood. My parents have time-lapse video from Christmases long past where I don't move from the same armchair for over 10 hours. I'm a constant figure as the room buzzes with holiday activity around me. Motionless, except the occasional turning of… Continue reading Cranberry Upside Down Coffeecake
Honeycrisp Dutch Apple Pie
A mournful thick rain is pelting my office classroom playroom window tonight as I sit typing with a belly that is full and happy. Full because it's stuffed with layers of perfectly spiced apple, buttery flaky crust and crunchy crumble topping. Happy basking in the glow of warm friendship and thankfulness. My girlfriend Rachel brought… Continue reading Honeycrisp Dutch Apple Pie
The World’s Greatest Cinnamon Rolls
You know what's great? The little lip balms that look like mini eggs. Piano music on a blustery day. Smiley face stickers. Finding a ten-dollar bill in an old purse. Laughing so hard you cry a little. And most of all...cinnamon rolls. Specifically, these cinnamon rolls. The best EVER. No, I'm not kidding. They are… Continue reading The World’s Greatest Cinnamon Rolls

Mixed Booger Salad with Snot and Scabs (Twisted Chicken Caesar Salad)
This simple twist on a Caesar salad gets a hit of gag inducing grossness from the name. I'm very proud of it. It's pasta tossed with romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese and (if desired) chicken. I rip up a rotisserie and throw it in there. I leave the dressing on the side (labeled "snot) so the… Continue reading Mixed Booger Salad with Snot and Scabs (Twisted Chicken Caesar Salad)
Witch’s Elixir (The Best Party Punch EVER)
No Halloween party would be complete without a powerful punch. This Witch's Elixir is deadly good. You'll need a GIANT cauldron or will need to scale down the recipe to fit it in a normal punch bowl. I recommend the cauldron, it really lends to the atmosphere of a good Halloween party. At every shindig… Continue reading Witch’s Elixir (The Best Party Punch EVER)
