If you’re new to my blog, you might find yourself wondering, who is this amazing man and why do I keep letting him cook for me?
Well, my wonder-bred Italian boy is none other than my boyfriend (my BF or beef as Kelly and I started saying), Mark. What gives [...]
Um. I keep promising you blog lovin’ and I don’t deliver. So I’m going to quit talking about it — except for the fact that once I’m back from Austin next week, I’ll have a bit more time to write those posts, and I have one drafted for every week through September. [...]
What to do with leftover pork? Make BBQ. And corn bread. Keep reading for the recipe.
I’ve decided to forgo voting this month and make Meltaways. They came in second last month, and they’ll make a great Valentine’s Day sugar cookie.

I have a problem. I’ve pinned too many cookies on Pinterest.

I’m ringing in 2012 by going to the Bears vs. Vikings showdown at noon today (aye carumba!).
Who will win? It is a tossup. When I bought the tickets I thought the Bears were sure to win … but now I don’t know. It’s sure to be an interesting game!

Last week I posted about the apron I made Emee for Christmas.
Here is the apron in action. Mom and Em were making French toast and Emee asked to wear her new apron.
So cute! I’m glad she liked it. She was so blinded by Legos (which, for [...]
First of all, I have NO idea how I did this. I actually made creamy and melty macaroni and cheese from REAL CHEESE. That’s right. The consistency of Velveeta mac and cheese, but without all the processed crap.
I used a sharp organic cheddar and a chihuahua cheese (not made from chihuahua’s milk, fyi). I [...]
This is a long post. Just sayin’. Long process = long post. For those of you who just want to see the finished product, here you go. Side note, we’re having pot roast today. And after writing this post I’m wondering why I didn’t have the foresight to get more ravioli supplies instead.
I somehow miraculously created a 3 point per slice pizza. And yes, I’m talking weight watchers points. At the suggestion of my friend Kelly, I’m going to start trying to add points when I can. I’ve asked Mark to help since he’s on WW and I have no clue how the system [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
