Oh, Bob’s Burgers. You had us with your pun-erific Burger of the Week signs. Then cemented it with Linda’s “Porcelain Babies” song. If you want to be comfortable — and not invest too much in your wares — we’ve found your ideal costume. Plus, it gives you an awesome excuse to rock a fake mustache […]
#Halloween13: House of Cards Costume Ideas (Day 5)
When it comes to Halloween costumes, there is none creepier than Frank Underwood. Except for maybe his wife, Claire Underwood. Okay, it’s a tie. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are delightfully horrifying as the Congressional power couple. Any old suit and fitted shift dress would work, but to really nail the look, focus on the […]
#Halloween13: Frozen Costume Ideas (Day 4)
Do you wanna build a snowman? Sorry, that one line will probably be lodged in your head for the rest of the day. And for good reason: Frozen pretty much took over the radio, TV and internet this past year. Even if you make it a point not to watch kids’ movies, you’ve probably heard […]
#Halloween13: 6-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping (Day 3)
There are few things cuter than a micro muffin topped with streusel. It’s like a toddler dressing up in his parents’ closet. Like, “aw, you think you’re all grown up!” Cue mushy talk and squeals. That’s basically the reaction I had when I pulled these treats out of the oven. I wanted to test out […]
#Halloween13: Robin Williams Costume Ideas (Day 2)
We almost didn’t write this post. We didn’t want to, because we didn’t want it to be misinterpreted. Halloween costumes based on a deceased celebrity can really go one of two ways: a lighthearted tribute to a favorite star or, more often than not, a tasteless joke on who the person died. And we’re […]
#Halloween13: Guardians of the Galaxy Costume Ideas (Day 1)
Chris Pratt basically became the male Jennifer Lawrence when Guardians of the Galaxy came out. You know, the guy everybody suddenly wanted to be friends with, who made us collectively go, “Oh, why haven’t we known about this guy already? He’s pretty funny!” (Unless you’re a hipster, in which case, you were all like, “Ugh. […]

Tailgate Tour: How Wisconsin Badgers Do Gameday
In preparation for Saturday’s noon kickoff between the USF Bulls and Wisconsin Badgers, we asked two Wisconsin grads for an insider’s take at tailgating in Madison. If you’re a Badgers fan, tailgates aren’t all burgers and hot dogs. In fact, you might as well leave those Oscar Meyers in the fridge — on the grills […]
Bacon-Cheddar Frittata Cups Recipe
Noon games = brunch watch parties. Really, there’s no better way to ease into the weekend than inviting a bunch of people over (face paint optional, but highly encouraged) to cheer, shout and cringe over a pile of bacon, fresh fruit and mimosas. Figuring out what to make for said crowd can be tricky: You […]
