I receive the most bizarre emails about cooking/food:

“I have a book that I bought years ago where the author has taken  the pictures from older cookbooks and  written hilarious descriptions of the pictures. I can’t find it. It’s been so long since I saw it that I don’t remember the title or what the book looks like. Can you help me?

I believe the picture of the octopus hotdogs was in it, or one similar.

Thank you,

[redacted]”

Sure thing lady! Why wouldn’t I take time out of my day to help you find a book with octopus hotdogs in it?!

Macaroni+cheese with fresh oregano.

I’ve always loved mac+cheese out of a box (kraft), but I haven’t come across a homemade version as satisfying. With many homemade versions, the sauce tends to break, and what’s left is a greasy, grainy, mess.

After experimenting and testing about a dozen recipes, I came up with my absolute favorite. Organic mild cheddar and fresh oregano keeps it clean and fresh.

Find the recipe here.

Happy belated Thanksgiving btw. I hope it was filled with lots of incredible food and laughs. I’m so thankful for all the ridiculously supportive, lovable people in my life. You make my life hilarious, and there isn’t anything better than laughing ‘till it hurts.

I had this cake made for Jacob’s 28th.

The Cake Girls awesomely replicated a vintage calendar girl.
