I tell you, it’s just been one of those days. Please tell me you all have Mondays like this. Thought I was off to a good start this morning. Woke up feeling refreshed. Had my lunch all packed and ready to go. I felt like I was on a roll. Normally, I start work at …

Think of all the times you’ve put together a recipe for a holiday get together or family party. You run out to the store and gather all the ingredients you need. Meticulously checking the ingredients off one by one to make sure you don’t have to head back to the store. You get home, put …

Winter has got me feeling all sorts of feels. I guess it’s not quite winter by definition, but December is winter in my book. Ugghhhhh I hate to say it. Winter…it’s like a nasty little swear! I seriously need food that warms the soul. But not just something you can throw in the …
Welcome back to the blog you guys! I’m back in action today. Yesterday, I had to cut my recipe testing, photo taking, blogging escapade short. My afternoon was spent in the dentist office after I chipped a tooth. While I never have fun at the dentist, it was kind of blessing in disguise. I’ve …
