Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies (WITH SALTED CARAMEL)
Posted June 25, 2015 | Filed in FOOD & DRINK, treats |
Published by

Since the last recipe I shared was for a healthy diet smoothie and I am all about balance, yin yangs, feng shui and all that, I figured it was time to share a treat! And this recipe for Salted Caramel Brownies is the best treat I have had in recent memory. My friend Christie, the insanely talented chef behind Pardon My Crumbs, baked them for my bachelorette party and everyone went wild over them. I think this little story alone tells you just how delish they are: My friend Kim (who shared the above stated diet smoothie recipe and looks like THIS), took one bite of a brownie and, without any irony, looked up and said "Is THIS what I've been missing?!" Yes, Kim. This IS what you have been missing...View Article

I am SO.EXCITED. to share "The Declutterate," a parody of "The Graduate" that appears in the Bad Moms In Movie History web series for HGTV's ulive. I play Elise and get to cry and scream, two of my favorite pastimes as of late, as we approach our wedding! My good friend and fellow Groundlings Sunday Company alum Carrie Seim wrote and produced it, and it is as hilarious and wonderful as she is. WATCH, OKAY?View Article

Vegas Vow Renewal

I had the honor and pure joy of being a guest at my friends' Tina and Mickey's vow renewal in Las Vegas this past weekend. To celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, they decided to do a wedding pt. II with Elvis officiating this time around. They sent out a Paperless Post that stated "NO RSVP, JUST COME PARTY." Hawaiian attire was encouraged. I was in. Having subjected myself and my loved ones to the most unnecessarily intense wedding planning process over the past year and a half, Tina was exactly the type of bride (ie not a bridezilla) I needed to be around...View Article

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you daddies out there, especially mine! My Dad, Murry (or MurMan, as Tony likes to call him), is the best. He was born to be a dad, and I'm especially lucky that he was so spectacular at being a father to a daughter. I've talked before about his ability to braid hair, all the times he sat in the football stands when I was cheerleading captain in high school to hold up a "D" or "O" sign for me so I'd know which cheers to call, since I couldn't be bothered to learn the rules of football. How he and my mom drove to L.A. nearly every weekend for 6 months to see me perform in the Groundlings Sunday Company. And now, he reads my blog every day and emails me to tell me he loved it and he's proud of me. But what has moved me the most about this past year and a half is how involved my dad has been in the planning of Tony and my wedding. You always hear about how wedding planning bonds a mother and a daughter, but no one told me how much closer it would bring me to my dad...View Article

June Book Club: CAN’T WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING MORE PLEASANT?

In honor of Father's Day this weekend, I've selected Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast for June's Book Club. It's a memoir about aging parents, which seems like a beautiful way to honor my dad! HI DAD! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! CAN YOU BELIEVE YOU'VE BEEN A DAD FOR ALMOST THIRTY YEARS?! IT DOESN'T GET EASIER, DOES IT?! (I also picked this book because it's been on my list for months, and people keep telling me how incredible it is. I love anything that makes me cry from laughing and cry from feeling all the feelings, and this National Book Award Finalist apparently achieves both in spades...)View Article

in the name of beauty… SUNSCREEN PILLS!

Guys, I have a confession to make. I bought some pills online and I have no idea what's really in them (Polypodium leucotomos Calaguala extract appears to be the active ingredient), but I'm slurping one down every morning because it's supposed to preserve my youth. Or, technically, help "maintain the skin's ability to protect against sun-related effects and aging." They're called Heliocare Oral Capsules. I'm telling myself that it's basically like drinking sunscreen.View Article

Don’t Forget To Send A Father’s Day Card!
Posted June 17, 2015 | Filed in LIFE & LOVE |

I had a mini panic attack last night around 1am when I realized Father's Day is this weekend, and I have done jack diddly for my sweet dad. ("Jack diddly" is my dad's term for doing absolutely nothing, so I felt it's use was apropos.) I've gone into a feral state of "wedding mode," swapping showers and conversation for obsessive flower girl dress researching (necessary after J.Crew screwed us over) and second-guessing my glassware choices (probably not the best use of my time). And my dad has willingly crawled down that rabbit hole with me; his generous involvement in the planning of the wedding is a blog in and of itself, but let's just say this good ol' Texan is now well versed in the various strains of peonies. My dad is the best. And I almost forgot to send him a Father's Day card. Lucky for me, Postable exists...View Article
