There once was a shamrock-filled pie, With a crust that would wink its own eye. It’s wondrous sight, Gave folks quite a fright, Yet they couldn’t resist a small try! Shepherds pie anyone? #handpie #eyepie #shamrock #shepardspie #stpatricksday #weirdfood #foodart #march #practicalpeculiarities

Everyday I see how hungry you are these home renovation updates! Sorry I’ve been lacking. A lot has been going on, but believe me, it’s all the boring messy stuff. Nothing too exciting to see. Just lots of demo, plumbing, and electrical work to be dealt with. 🥱 We are in the process of leveling out the kitchen ceiling/ bathroom floor. Also turning the current bathroom into a laundry room and the bedroom door into a large bathroom. It’s sloping because of all the notches previous “plumbers” cut into the joists. So now I am on a journey to get it done the right way. Lots of mess, lots of soot, lots of stress, but I don’t regret it. Every night before bed, I smile as I imagine what it’s all going to look like in the end. P.S. I am filming everything to post on my YT channel. There I can get into the details more. 🖤 #renovation #demolition #cheapoldhouses #victorianhouse #diy #homeimprovement #firsttimehomeowner #sweatequity

If you’ve ever wanted to jump into a fairytale, go to Solvang, CA! This was one of my top 3 favorite weekend getaways. I dream of aebelskivers often! The only thing that was missing was a Fairy Godmother singing Holding Out For A Hero. #solvang #solvangcalifornia #fairytaletown #farfaraway #danishbakery #danishfood #weekendgetaway

2024 has been an amazing year for me! It was filled with one remarkable milestone after another. I published my first cookbook, made appearances on TV, turned 30 and even became a homeowner of a crazy cool house! I never imagined that so much could happen in just one year. Hard work really does pay off. Am I tired? Yes! Am I proud? HELL YES! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of these wonderful experiences. Thanks for having faith in me. Here’s to even more magic in 2025! HAPPY NEW YEAR! And to that one high school principal who told me to “give up” because I didn’t have my act together, I hope the worms are having an excellent feast on you!….. jk. But really. 😒 . . . . . #2024recap #practicalpeculiarities #nikkalcaraz #inspirational #manifestation #author #acomplished

Just had an amazing personal tour of the new @thehorrorboodega in Burbank after my book signing at the @The Mystic Museum! This place is a true sanctuary for the inner spooky child, and exploring it with adult money is a dream come true! From Halloween pasta, spooky mac & cheese to nostalgic Halloween treats that take you back to the 80s, it’s like stepping into a dream-like version of the past (even though I wasn’t around yet!). 💀 This store is open all year long and is a haven for a Peculiar people alike. I’m so inspired by the creativity and hard work poured into this ghoulish place! Can’t wait to visit again! 👁️ #coolplaces #horrorboodega #burbankca #destination #coolstore #halloween365 #nostalgia #spookythings #spookyplaces

When I think of Who-Hash, I think of it as a sweet thing. My grandma used to make this Watergate Salad for holidays. It’s so retro and so good! It goes by other names like Ambrosia and Fluff Stuff. Whatever you call it, it will definitely make you feel like a Who when eating it. Who-Hash 1 tub Cool Whip topping 2 cups miniature marshmallows 3.4 ounces instant pistachio pudding mix 1 can crushed fruit cocktail 15 oz (keep juice) 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut 1 jar Maraschino cherries #thegrinch #grinch #grinchmas #whohash #christmasrecipe #easyrecipe
