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...

The Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape . Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip. This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher: This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa: I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...

Freezer Meal #1 - Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage

A month ago, a coworker invited me to a Pampered Chef Freezer Meal party. I will admit that I went in to it with a little bit of an attitude: " I'm going to have to buy all their seasonings and the meals will be full of processed goo and not taste great ." Four hours of fun, three glasses of wine, $170 for groceries and seasonings, and 14 meals later, I was happily proved (mostly) wrong. Here's how my thinking changed: 1) I'm going to have to buy all of their seasonings - well, yes. This is a service they're offering after all, and I felt like the $70 was more than worth the ideas and ingredients I got, plus not having to do the dishes and getting a free dinner was a bonus! I discovered a few ingredients I would have normally given the "side eye" to, like cherry balsamic vinegar, which costs the same at the grocery store as it does from The Pampered Chef. 2) The meals will be processed - I was expecting lots of Cream-of-Something-Soup r...
