My favorite Kate outfits!

And what did I eat at Christmas? What DIDN'T I eat?

Truth.

Anyway, I hope you all had a Happy Christmas (as the Brits would say). My gift to you is a rundown of my favorite Kate outfits.

She recycled this one for Wimbledon. So appropriate!

Oh Canada! I want this hat.

I want this hat, and this coat, and those shoes. Also, I really like Wills' uniform.

Someone buy me this super cute trench coat! I love the ruffle at the bottom.

This was back in her K-Middy days. She looks so cute!

I wish I could look this stylish on a daily basis.

This was her day after the wedding outfit. Love it. Want the shoes.

A lot of people don't like this red dress, but I think she looks pretty and comfortable, not to mention happy. :)

This Alexander McQueen coat reminds me of her wedding dress. Lovely.

This was one of everyone's favorites, and I like it too.

She wore this dress to the War Horse premiere and to St. Andrews. It's my 2nd fave of all of her outfits.

And my favorite is...

this ensemble from the Epsom Derby.

The hat is so age appropriate! And she had a cute little updo!

And she wore a dress from Reiss, which also came in red.

And of course, her L.K. Bennett heels.

You can buy these at Nordstrom. And I wear a size 8.5. And my birthday is in April.

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef. I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy. And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below. You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry! You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough. My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief . Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans. They...

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today. She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews. Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates! Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses. So British of them. This is at the Olympics. She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time. I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us! They hide behind their...
