tales of a girl trying to make sense of it all.

chili cheese dog dip.

February 19, 2016 by euniceann

One of my friends recently posted on Facebook an open complaint that people keep sharing all of these quick & easy recipe videos, but that he doesn’t think anyone’s actually tried to make them and see if they are as quick and easy (and good) as they look.

One of my friends shared this one and I decided to take on the challenge for a big 50th anniversary party that happened in San Francisco on February 7 where our local boys took home the big trophy (did I do a good enough job avoiding any potential copyright thing from that football corporation?). Although it didn’t fit into my original plan of making a bunch of beer-themed snacks, it did fit into my plan of spending less than $10 and less than 30 minutes of prep time. Plus, it boasts my favorite flavor combo of chili and cheese. Seriously, folks. It was a total no-brainer. The best part was, Alissa and I were able to divide and conquer. I cut, she wrapped. That’s teamwork at its finest.

Turns out, it was a hit. And totally worth burning the crap out of my thumb taking it out of the oven.

In honor of women’s celebration month, I’m res In honor of women’s celebration month, I’m resharing the first piece I ever had published, which I wrote about my amazing daughter, who is likely mortified that I am posting this right now (sorry not sorry kid. I love you.) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was scrolling through my feed and came across a post @cpamgo217 had shared from @thekindredvoice (then Holl and Lane). It was about mental health and it stopped me in my tracks, as most posts on mental health do. I checked out their website and it was love at first sight. I noticed they were accepting pitches on the theme of “educate.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had never pitched a publication before, and at that point in my life, barely considered myself a writer. But I had a nugget of an idea that I wanted to explore after an interaction with @calleylane so I sent in a pitch. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And they accepted it. I was floored. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What most people don’t know is that at the time I pitched and wrote this article, I was amidst the unending court nightmare that was my life for the majority of 2017 and I honestly didn’t know that I had the tenacity to make it to the end of that battle still standing. But I did. She did. We both did. And we are stronger for it.

beauty isn’t skin deep.

Growing up, I can’t say that I ever felt beautiful. I was tall and scrawny with big, frizzy hair and a gap in my front teeth wider than the Grand Canyon. Most of my clothes were hand-me-downs from the girls at church, so they were often out of style and far too short for my gangling limbs (when capris came back in, I cringed, recalling all of the jokes about

time is irrelevant right now.

I wish I could press pause right now, I really do. That might seem crazy when the whole world seems to be on a collective pause, thanks to this crazy virus and our even crazier government that can’t seem to get a handle on it. But life hasn’t slowed down for me since COVID came crashing into our lives. Very much the opposite, in fact. While I am unbelievably grateful
