Your Weekly Dose of Chaos & Culinary Genius
Serving Up Sass, Snacks, and Slightly Unhinged Wisdom
Hey there,
Welcome to your one-stop shop, where you get to pick and choose between my posts, all fueled by a solid mix of creativity, caffeine, and—let’s be real—a little bit of chaos.
Gone are the days of me hoarding ideas like a dragon clutching treasure (trust me, I had a whole vault going). Instead, you get all the goods right here, no fluff, just the stuff that’ll make you laugh, think, and maybe even question my sanity. But hey, that’s part of the charm, right?
If you stumbled upon this and haven’t smashed that subscribe button yet, what are you waiting for? It’s basically a ticket to weekly doses of chaos and creativity—trust me, you don’t want to miss out.
So grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and dive into this chaos-filled goodness. You might just find a recipe that will make you feel like a gourmet chef, or a life update that’ll have you nodding in solidarity like, “Yep, been there.”
Enjoy the ride.
This Week’s Recipe(s):
Margaritas are my go-to drink, no question about it. But let me tell you, learning to craft non-alcoholic margaritas was pure joy. Especially when it’s Taco Tuesday—because what's better than tacos and a zesty, alcohol-free margarita?

The latest from my world—Our Annual "Let’s Freeze Our Butts Off" Fishing Trip 🎣❄️
My husband and I just wrapped up our yearly weekend fishing trip—three days on the ice, crammed into a camper with three other friends (and yes, I was the only female, so send thoughts and prayers). It was a spectacular mix of belly laughs, questionable fishing techniques, fresh air, and much-needed movement after sitting in a frozen tin can for hours.
But beyond the fishing (and my impressive patience), this trip is about something bigger—nurturing our souls, our relationship, and reminding each other that we’re more than just co-parents, chore managers, and household logistics coordinators.
I highly recommend taking a trip like this at least once a year with your significant other. It doesn’t have to involve ice, fishing, or pretending to enjoy gas station coffee at 5 AM. Just get away. Book a cabin, rent a camper, or heck, grab a hotel room two towns over and bask in the glory of being adults together—without laundry, deadlines, or small humans asking for snacks. Your relationship will thank you. 💙
What About the Podcast?
For now, Crunchy Culture is hitting pause. 🎙️ As much as I’d love to reach a broader audience, podcasting just wasn’t fueling me—it was draining me. Writing is my true passion and where I feel called to be. So, until I figure out how I want to share audibly, the podcast will be on a break. Stay tuned for what’s next! ✨
Either way, you know I’ll keep things spicy. Stay tuned, stay nourished, and stay fabulous.
