Andrea and Stefin start out with a quick update on their resolutions. Andrea’s using an app called Streaks to track her progress and planning on some habit stacking to incorporate new habits. To drink more water, Stefin’s suggesting Andrea fill a pitcher with water (and perhaps add some lemons or limes) at the beginning of […]
Happy New Year Preheaters! Stefin and Andrea are ready to kick off 2018 in style. But first, Andrea has a look back — and a cautionary tale — about the Apple Cider Caramels the duo talked about during Bon Bon & Bars Month in December’s Episode 57. Heed Andrea’s advice and take a look at […]
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you’re starting out your day with a sweet dish and are happily settled in somewhere warm. Andrea jumps into a hard-hitting investigative report from the field – straight from the housewares aisles of the Seattle Goodwill. Here’s the three most common Unitasker items she uncovered: #3 Turkey roasting racks – […]
Stefin’s back from International Night at her daughter’s middle school, and reports the stand-out treat, on a night filled with delicious Israeli jelly donuts, Dutch pancakes, British gin and tonics, New Zealand Marmite and yes, American Coors Light, was the beloved national candy of Brazil: brigadeiros!

Stefin’s also wondering how many […]
