The number one auto podcast? It's true, the Carpool has hit the number one spot (at least a handful of times). And while Kelly and Lizz may still be bummed about the choke hold Uncle Sai has on the number one spot in the leisure category, they're proud to be two moms making waves in the auto space

The Merriam Webster word of the day is emote — something Kelly has no trouble with. You may be emoting, too, if you're someone who unabashedly expresses their feelings. 

In today's dumpity-do-das Kelly's a Detroit Lions fan from here on out with good reason. She also is loving her new Ford Expedition demo with a bench seat she's truly obsessed with. Both gals learned, yet again, that they should never check a bag even though they did manage to retrieve theirs in the chaos of travel. Kelly's still not sure what to do about her travel cosmetic dilemmas, though. A big thank you goes out today to eBay motors for hosting a fantastic safety centric snow tire event.

The Stumpes bought a fixer upper that Kelly's finally ready to share about and Lizz is concerned that she's way too chill about the renovations, furniture, and move. Lord of the Rings bingeing is on Lizz's agenda while Kelly is focusing on being a well read girly having just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures. The gals propose we normalize giving one star reviews and discuss how they rate their media. 

Ditch the drive-through brings you three delicious ways to get out of your kitchen rut with a salad, a casserole, and a side dish suggestion. For a tasty Tuna pasta salad from Stephanie combine one can of tuna, chopped celery, and chopped pickles. Add Kelly's ranch dressing minus the ranch part (mayo, sour cream and Greek yogurt), salt pepper, dill weed, and garlic powder. Mix and serve!

To make Maria's not-a-tot casserole you'll need one packet of bacon, a frozen bag of tater tots, ranch dressing mix, shredded cheese, eight eggs, and two cups of milk. Cook and crumble the bacon, combine with the cheese and tater tots and pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. In another bowl, mix the eggs, ranch packet, and milk. Pour over the tater tot mixture. Bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes. 

Follow Kelly's lead and embrace canned fruit as your new friend. Ditch those spoiled-before-you're-home berries and stock up on canned pineapple, peaches, and pears that are good until you open them.
