Weekends with Frankie and Freddie ❤️

This lemon rhubarb bundt cake did not survive the night. Took it to celebrate my mom's 79th birthday. Definitely a hit. Served it with fresh rhubarb compote.

Mmmmmm. Dark chocolate rhubarb brownies.

Lazy grey and rainy Sunday at home with these two sleepy fuzzballs. #catsofinstagram

Chicken lettuce wraps - definitely will make these again.

The kitty life is a weird and wonderful life. #catsofinstagram

Dinner this eve: one pot coconut lime chicken. (So freaking good, and super simple).

Mushroom stew for dinner (served on raw baby spinach). #Yum

Fifty shades of grey - puzzle edition.

Breakfast for dinner. Cinnanomnom baked French toast.

Fresh out of the oven focaccia. :)

C is for dark chocolate chunk oatmeal cookies :) 🍪 #NomNomNom

Mmmm, heart shaped donut.

It’s a cinna-nomnom bun kind of eve.

My coworkers can sometimes be a little annoying to work with. #Freddie #CatsOfInstagram

Roughly 12 years ago, my face was introduced to the floor during a yoga session - and thus was born the Harry Potter-like scar above my eye.

Do you like my hat? #catsofinstagram

Keeping a watchful eye on my progress.

I’ve got my eye on you, 2023. #HappyNewYear

#TopNine pics for 2022. It’s probably not shocking that it’s mostly kitty pics.
