What happens when advertising and our obsession with making everything from scratch leads to bad ideas?
This.
Nutter butter blizzards. Kind of. We were drooling over these at DQ a couple of months back when these were the special blizzard of the month. I refused to spend $5 for a [...]
Disclaimer: I get the feeling y’all think I’m turning this thing into a food blog. I’m not. It’s just that the last couple of months I’ve had NO spare time to blog, let alone do anything that I normally do like make things, troll the internet for cool stuff or even workout. One thing that [...]

I present to you the most naughty-looking desserts that I’ve got pinned [...]
I got a brilliant idea for Mark’s birthday cake from Real Simple. Of course, I had to modify the recipe, but the main idea is based on this recipe.
I asked Mark what kind of cake he wanted, and we talked a little about ice cream cakes and Better [...]
Last Sunday, Mark, Barney and I went to Des Moines. I had a coffee table that was sitting out for me at work that I needed to pick up and I needed Mark’s car to retrieve it. So, we decided to take Barney so we could get him an ice cream cone at
Wow that is a cheesy title, but it’s true!
I finally took the plunge and tried to eat a banana a couple weeks ago for the first time in at least 10 years. When I was younger I couldn’t eat bananas because they made my stomach hurt — which is ironic because it’s one of [...]

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.
