Category: Lifestyle and Pets

A section about me and my journey through this bizarre world that we call home.

A lot of cooking and lifestyle blogs are very sterile. They look like the ideal version of life is enviable kitchens with gorgeous hair and makeup and perfect lighting.

I don’t know about you? But I don’t live like that! I get up every morning and do the dishes from the night before while my cat sits on my shoulder like a parrot and claws into my head trying to get at the ever-elusive dangling ceiling fan cord.

So here’s to celebrating the realities of gardening and cooking in the real world with furried friends in tow!

Top 5 Overrated Kitchen Gadgets NOT Worth Buying

Top 5 Overrated Kitchen Gadgets NOT Worth Buying

I hear what you're saying. The holidays are upon us. The overpriced culinary gadgets are finally on sale. But put down that copper pot. Step away from the Vitamix. And rethink that Instant Pot. Your counter space is too precious to spend that much money on things that you'll probably never use! Although, I do have some more useful recommendation, if you still think that you might want an all-purpose cooking contraption or fancy 19th century kitchen. Plus, nothing on this blog is sponsored. I just don't like it when people waste money on cooking fads. NAME ONE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY USES AN AT-HOME PRESSURE COOKER.
