Growing up, “food fight” didn’t necessarily mean gleeful spaghetti slinging or flour flinging, like in the movies. (Although there was the time my sister rolled in a plate of Jell-O. She was one. Of course we still tease her about it.) Sometimes a food fight just meant that we were arguing because we were hungry …
I used to love this game SO HARD as a kid. Raise your hand if you’re an 80’s kid! “Mom! I need food now! My little legs are so weak!!” My 7-year-old son eats like his dad (and is dramatic like his mom) so I wasn’t surprised when he came barging in the door after …

I mean, who hasn’t tasted the sweet, sweet love of a warm …
When bad cookies happen to good cartoons. (Nobody saw anything wrong with this before it went to production? Really??) Important things first: Gingerbread, as we know it, is nasty. Every year we rediscover this as my kids try to eat the gingerbread house we make. It’s like cat food, as imagined by Nate Berkus. (Real …
Katy Perry may have thought that she liked kissing a girl because of her soft lips (or because it got her attention from men who like to watch two girls kiss thereby relinquishing the power of her sexuality for the voyeuristic enjoyment of others) but it turns out there may have been another reason the …

Love Forever, BELLA. Check out the rest of this blog post for more funny food journals! I’ve always been a journal keeper.

I never wanted to have to write this post. In fact, I wasn’t going to write it. Even though I’m living it. But then I talked to Gym Buddy Allison and she gave me a reality check – in her gentle, totally rational way that I love her for – that life is messy and …

Trigger warning for mild mention of eating disordered behavior. This post talks about part of my recovery process. I love love love Natalie Dee. Ever had a “fat and ugly attack”?
