Green Eggs and Pam

In honor of the birthday of Theodor Geisel -the madman-genius who is Dr. Seuss, (and for Mimi who let me in on that super-random, super-notable fact!), I'll share a kosher-kitchen recipe inspired by his most non-kosher of books. Green Eggs and Pam (well, technically it's not even real "pam", just extra virgin olive oil from a Misto spray bottle) came to me when I was a single workin'-girl, at home in Chicago for 24 hours for a friends wedding, and famished/hungover at about 4am in my mother's cook-tempting kitchen. Out came the eggs, the skillet- the pesto! It's not a recipe so much as a revelation... Whisk eggs with a generous dollop of pesto; scramble, fry, or poach your way to savory-breakfast perfection! Garnish with flecks of goat cheese, feta, or even parmesan.

Plus, once we're on the Seuss subject, I'll leave you with some loony links I love:

1. Best graduation gift ever!

2. Cartoon + Converse Collaberation

3. Vintage Seuss Onesies

4.  A totally rad Purim getup - for 2!

5. Seuss-inspired furniture

6. Ever seen a Hebrew Wocket?

Happy Birthday to the man who encourages our children to "Hop on Pop" - which is especially helpful in the early morning!

Seasonal Sweets

There was no way I could make it through the market and leave these fresh-from-the-grove mandarins behind. They were too beautiful with the contrasting bright orange and deep green leaves... Not that they'll last long; beneath all the beauty of these little fruit gems is the most flavorful and succulent goodness - they put Cuties to shame!

Dessert + Music in the Morning

After being inspired from all the incredible music on the Awards show last night, I decided to spice up the morning and give my husband a little love for his morning commute: I made him a mix-tape (well, technically it was a CD, but I can't bring myself to call it a "mix-cd" - it's just wrong). I downloaded this super-rad CD sleeve by Dandee Designs, and burned it with a few of our favorite love songs. We had a wonderful little morning - nothing more fun than dessert at breakfast (and Freida enjoyed scribbling up those little hearts so early in the morning)! :)

Sweet Lovin'

As I've mentioned before, the web is just overflowing with some of the most beautiful, adorable, and captivating ways to show someone you love them... I thought I'd spread the love and share 3 of my favorite sweet and lovely goodies I've spotted this week: I can't think of any little girl who wouldn't love to get one of these Gumball Necklaces!

These fuzzy heart cookies kinda make my own heart melt...

Buttercream Frosting + Red Velvet surprise. Enough said.

Superbowl Sunday Snow-down!

Here's how our pre-game Superbowl Sunday went this year:

The boys decided to take the pigskin outdoors from some snowy superbowl fun! Freida and I watched from our cabin perch:

Afterwards Freida was taken for her first winter joy ride:

All afternoon I had to contend with texts from my brother-in-law (we left him the key to our apartment so he could hold the annual Superbowl shin-dig - even though we weren't there to partake)."How do you get guacamole out of the cowhide rug?", was not exactly the most exciting text to get! But, thankfully he was just messing around (I think...).

Then, since the guys got to screen the big game while the ladies attended to dinners, baths, and bedtimes - these beer margaritas would've made for a nice rewarding wind-down (I'll keep 'em bookmarked for next years Superbowl party), but until then - hot chocolate, s'mores, and a crackling fireplace sufficed.

Best Superbowl Sunday by far!!
