jug·ger·naut (noun): An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path. That was us in a nutshell this weekend!

I haven’t made lasagna in a while and I thought this recipe sounded great. I think what really attracted me to this recipe is the white sauce used in one of the layers. I am not the biggest fan of red sauce, so knowing there would be a layer of creamy goodness, I couldn’t pass [...]

So many things are going on and have happened recently that I’m going to post one of my world famous bullet blog posts (I know you’ve all heard about them): Courtney and I recently bought a bunch of LP’s (records) that we want to frame and hang in the basement (we figured music+art+media room=framed LP’s). [...]
