Guys, this basic bitch loves her some pumpkin. And food in adorable mason jars. So this one is a slam dunk home run. But, as you know, health food is not usually my M.O.... I'm more a tacos-and-cake kinda girl. But baby's been having some trouble squeezing into my pants since the binge that kicked off with the wedding and continued on our honeymoon, while Tony was working in Canada, my trip to Austin, AND the general ennui of "I'll never have to fit in a wedding gown again." So, I'm particularly thrilled to share a healthy version of this normally-sinfully-delicious dessert. I've had it for breakfast every day this week, and plan to continue to do so until 1) my pants fit again, or 2) I get sick of it...View Article

Tony's mellow birthday set the tone for a low-key week, even if I did celebrate his Big Day by lighting the oven on fire in an attempt to make his favorite chicken (now, it's the dogs' favorite chicken, too). As he wrote earlier this week, he doesn't like making a to-do about his birthday. In fact, if he had his way, we wouldn't acknowledge it at all and everyone would just pretend he's 25 (old enough to be a man but still play a collegiate) forever. I, on the other hand, believe in birthday months and spectacular displays of celebration. I tried to abide by his wishes, but even without meaning to, created our very own private fireworks show in the kitchen. We're still cleaning up. Having a holiday on Monday hit the fast-forward button on the week, and we are in the home stretch for the weekend... To help get you through to it, here are a few distractions keeping me *busy on the internet. (*And by busy, I mean getting absolutely no work done at all.)View Article

Super excited to share that my friend Laura Bell Bundy's upcoming comedy website, Skits-O-Frenic, was officially announced yesterday (in The Hollywood Reporter, natch). I've been writing and performing in a few sketches for the site, and am so stoked. Not that long ago, I was watching her on Broadway in "Hairspray" and "Legally Blonde" in complete and utter awe, and now I get to work with her. Pinching myself. Check out the first episode here, co-starring none other than CHARLIE SHEEN. (Guys, this post is full of name-dropping. Not gonna lie, I love it.) The site launches October 21, and I'll be sure to keep you updated when the sketches I worked on air!View Article

Yesterday was Tony's birthday, and I asked him to write a guest blog to celebrate it. Instead of writing something self indulgent like I usually do, he tried to think of a way to use his birthday to help other people, which is totally in character for him and one of the many reasons I married him. Here's some advice from Tony on how to be happy on the other 364 days a year that aren't your happy birthday...View Article

This week flew by especially quickly (probably because I spent half of it in a food coma in Austin). It was so nice getting some much-needed time with my uncle in the evenings, and I loved spending the days holed up writing at the Hotel Saint Cecilia, one of my favorite places in the world to stay. I came back to a clean house, my three sweet pups, a home-cooked meal and my loving husband, reminding me there is no better place in the world than home...View Article

You guys, I am obsessed with this book. It's called "China Rich Girlfriend," it's by Kevin Kwan and I could not put it down. I just finished it and loved it so much, I bought his first book, "Crazy Rich Asians," and read 2/3 of it on the plane home from Austin yesterday. It's a satirical comedy about the 1% of the 1%, the wealthiest people in Asia. (And the author would know; he grew up among them, in Singapore). The characters are like "The Kardashians" on speed - or, more accurately, the world's most expensive and rare cocaine. The novel is a hilarious and light page-turner, and you'll feel much better about yourself for tearing through this as opposed to binging on "The Real Housewives"...View Article

After a whirlwind trip of eating and more eating in Austin, I'm back home in the loving arms of my 3 beloved dogs (and husband, eventually. I'm just really excited about the dogs right now.) I prioritized one last breakfast taco-and-pastries binge this morning instead of writing a blog because I am a consummate unprofessional/food addict, so here's a few little hump day distractions to enjoy with a glass or three of vino, if you're anything like me... IT'S ALMOST FRIDAY, JUST HANG IN THERE.View Article

I'm currently in Austin with my dad and brother, staying at a hotel that doubles as a pretty sweet spot for a photo shoot. I normally make my husband take pictures of me while I bark things like "Get an angle that hides all the tacos I ate for breakfast!" at him. But, he's at home working. So, last night I enlisted my ever supportive father to be my photographer. We had some cocktails for liquid courage by the pool with my brother while I forced Dad to study the angles of "chic" and "interesting" fashion photos on other blogs. His response to all of them: "Very nice," "Lovely!" and "I can do that." Turns out, he can do that... Here's what he came up with for this pretty fall dress in Pantone's color of the year. (Honestly, I think he's just relieved I'm channeling my energy into things like this, as opposed to writing "aging stripper" roles for myself like I did for years at the Groundlings.) Watch out, David LaChapelle, the Mur Man is gunning for your job!View Article
