    Good Job Girl!!! I knew there was something about your blog that brings me back, I have great taste too!! I always feel a little lost on the weekends without your posts, but it gives me something to look forward to on Monday. Have a great weekend, and Happy Mothers Day Tracy! 🙂

  • Jill

    Tracy, no lie. When I first saw the gif of Jennifer Lawrence at the met ball I said to myself “she’s my spirit animal.” But then I kept it to myself because I figured that may be an inappropriate thing to say. Alas, it can’t be if we both thought it, right?!

  • Elin

    Lovely list! 😀 Have a nice weekend!

  • kat

    Congrats on the Time magazine spot, that’s HUGE!

A unique voice and consistently awesome content. All your hard work deserves some kudos!

  • cindy

    this one is full of SO MANY good things!

    I think I loved the obit the best (I can have a morbid sense of humor…) When my grandfather died I was/am crushed there were a ton of tears…but I laughed through the entire memorial service as people talked about him, and he totally would have approved.

    Also, Happy Almost Mother’s Day, woman!

    • Tracy

      oh my goodness. i laughed throughout my grandpa’s funeral. Everyone was saying the rosary and there was an old dude would would jump the gun EVERY SINGLE time the next hail mary came.

  • tara

    I can’t believe you didn’t know about Duckface! But I LOVE the spaghetti fix, it TOTALLY works!!

    Jennifer Lawrence is AMAZING. She’s so badass.

    Also, John Krasinski. Sigh. I love him. So sad The Office is ending. SO SAD.

  • tara

    OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS ON TIME!!! I just read that part. Amazing!!! You totally deserve it!

  • kickpleat

    Your Friday lists are KILLER!!! I’m with you on the indoor plants – need more green in my life! Obsessed. And thanks so much for linking to my peanut butter chocolate pie cuz it was pretty fantastic 🙂 Congrats again on being listed on TIME FREAKING DOT COM!!!!

  • Elise

    I saw the lip-synch battle on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. SO. Funny! I really enjoyed that whole interview. John Krasinski seems really down to earth.

  • Nicole Cote

    HUGE congrats on the Time spot.

  • Rachael

    WAY TO GO TRACY! Hearing that you made the Time list literally made my day. That is awesome and you are so deserving of it!

    Can’t wait to kick off my Friday with your Mom’s favorite salad dressing (whattup Ina) & french bread pizza. You rule!

  • dixya@food, pleasure, and health

    congratulations on the Time Magazine award. Hope you have a wonderful Mothers Day 🙂

  • Kirsty

    Thanks for linking to my blog! I didn’t intend on adapting it quite so much, that’s what happens when you don’t check your cupboards before going to the shops.
    Still tasted really good though!

  • Carolyn

    Wow, congrats on the award! You totally deserve it. 🙂

  • GreenDavis

    Long time reader, though I rarely comment. Just had to say congrats on the Time award! I clicked through the Top 50 list (always on the lookout for more good content) and I noticed that you are the one and only that fits the “mom blog” category. Sorry if you hate that category. But I think it’s awesome! Your site design is fantastic, the recipes are great, and the Time blurb is right on: enough of the Benjamin’s but not so much that I feel like I’ve violated your privacy by reading. You’ve hit the sweet spot and I like coming here. Thanks!

    • Tracy

      I really don’t mind being in the family category. I’m proud to be a mom!!! Thank you for your support. I appreciate the recognition!!

  • Heidi - Apples Under My Bed

    I just freakin love Jennifer Lawrence. & the Ryan Gosling cereal, no I can’t even deal, either. But TRACY?!?! That TIME nod is just amazing! So right on, tell me something I don’t know 😉 Congratulations, lady.

  • Jade Sheldon

    I have been OBSESSED with Jimmy & John this week. Wouldn’t mind them serenading me. And thank you for bringing this Ryan Gosling meme into my life…

  • Emily @ Relishments

    Congrats on the Time magazine mention–that’s amazing! Love your site (and the podcast), can’t wait to see what else you come up with.

  • Courtney

    BIG CONGRATULATIONS! You so deserve the honor! I hope this helps you reach all your blogging dreams!

  • biobabbler

    Dood: when you posted that in Facebook I was just kinda stunned & didn’t comment, but then IMMEDIATELY thought about when you & Joy were talking about B+ v. A work. Not sure you really can call your work B+ work and get away with it, now. =) If you do, you’ll just get a snort, an eye roll, and a “Yeah, right.” And a high five.

    AWESOME!!!!

  • Jayne

    Every week when you post these links, one is bound to make me laugh. This week, practically every one made me giddy! haha… Thanks for the share. Especially duckface spaghetti.
