This week on High Straightenence, I get started on organizing my Kitchen drawers!
Would You Rather? Or would you prefer? Check out the new Joy the Baker podcast. We play the would you rather game!
Did you get to check out Joy’s first Book Tour video?? Remember when I was at the French Laundry a few weeks ago? This is why!
Also! I’m on Instagram now. You can follow me @tracyshutterbean. Guess who is already obsessed….
FACT: Most of my favorite songs come from movie soundtracks. I love how music can enhance a movie’s enjoyment and how after overdosing on a soundtrack, you can re-watch a movie and see things differently because you now know a song by heart. I think it’s also pretty interesting how you can find a song you wouldn’t normally like and enjoy it because it reminds you of a scene in a movie. Win-win!
Today I put a list of all of my favorite soundtracks (I just HAD to throw Dirty Dancing in there!) When I’m working, I like to put on a full soundtrack so I can be transported into movie land. I also listed some of my favorite tracks from each soundtrack. ENJOY!
Runners up include: Good Will Hunting, Dazed & Confused, Run Lola Run & Trainspotting.
Now…you tell me what movie soundtracks you love! GO!
Sometimes when I’m leaving town on a trip, I scatter little post-its around the house for Casey to find while I’m gone. I might also make something special as a little send off, so he can eat something and think of me while I’m away..
Last week I flew up to Seattle to join Joy on her Book Tour and an hour before I left for the airport, I pulled this Brussels Sprouts & Bacon pizza out of the oven. This is one of those special somethings.
I figured I’d give him something delicious & hearty to eat while he was busy missing me. I think it worked.
This pizza is ridiculously good. The Brussels sprouts get sweet, soft and semi crunchy while the bacon, cheddar, feta add a nice salty bite. You could totally put an egg on it and call it breakfast. I should have used slices of this pizza as post-its.
Last week I was plagued with strawberry malted milkshake fantasies and had no ice cream to make my dreams come true. With a little teamwork from my pantry and freezer I was able to quench my cravings.
By borrowing the base of my Raw Chocolate Milk and adding frozen strawberries as well as malted milk powder, I was able to come up with this deliciously smooth & creamy strawberry malted milkshake that’s almost dairy free…
One sip and I’m suddenly transported back to my childhood…fighting over a strawberry milkshake with my brothers in the back seat of my mom’s old green station wagon we referred to as The Pickle Mobile.
A new Joy the Baker podcast is up! We talk about hot air balloons, our current favorite things & we give a listener a challenge! It’s called Close to a Third Party!
There’s also a new High Straightenence post up! Adventures in Meal Planning! I tried out Helen Jane’s technique and liked it!
