Eric just tried to explain to me, for the 7,000 time, the difference between affect and effect. He just doesn’t understand that it’s an Unlearnable for me. You know. Just one of those things you’re never going to learn.

 Just like I’ll never understand what a 1st down is, because every time someone tries to tell me, my eyes glaze over after the first sentence, and I end up being distracted by the appetizers. Or how I’ll never understand the difference between black mascara and brownish-black mascara. They look EXACTLY THE SAME.

One time when I was a teenager this huge black lady stopped me in the drugstore. I was getting an ice cream cone and she leans in and conspiratorially tells me how beautiful my eyelashes are, so long, but that I should DEFINITELY use Brownish-Black mascara, because Very Black washes me out. I still remember this woman with much fondness and think of her every time I reach for my Brownish-Black mascara at Target. Because even if I can’t tell the difference between affect and effect, somebody out there can, and I don’t want to be caught using the wrong one.

GUESS WHAT GUYS!! My new blog design is going live this week! I’ve had my current design since March 2012. My awesome sister-in-law Reesy made it for me, and I love it, but it’s time for a little change. She designed the new one as well. I’m super excited to let you guys see it! One of the best parts is that my Recipe Index will finally be more than a giant list of links. It will show you pretty thumbnails and be categorized. So fun! You guys will love it. YOU BETTER LOVE IT.

Heads up that my site will be down for a bit while we get the new design up and running. If you are planning on using any of my recipes Thursday or Friday, print now. Keep up with me on Facebook to hear more detailed updates on times.

You should definitely print out this recipe, if nothing else. It’s a keeper my friends. These beautiful bellas are stuffed full of creamy blue-cheesy bacon, then drizzled with a spicy 2-ingredient sauce. Spoiler alert: it’s just blue cheese dressing and Frank’s Red Hot sauce. But it’s sooooo good you guys! I’m telling you. I’m already dreaming about what else I can put this sauce on. You could serve this as a meal with a great big salad or as an appetizer for watching football. Either way you will need plates. Sauce is boss. Do you guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram | Twitter   Make sure you get all that stem outta there. Gotta make room for bacon. Priorities people.
