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 …
With the holidays quickly approaching, I’ve got one thing on my mind. Wait…no, I have a million things on my mind. But, one of them just happens to be all the holiday baking. Cookies, truffles, cakes, breads, you name it, I want it in my belly! I’m generally not much of a sweets …

I was listening to the radio earlier today and the host of the show was talking about turkey. Actually, her complete disgust for Thanksgiving turkey. She described her holiday meal as tough, over-cooked, and dry. Per the host, there is not enough gravy in the world to make choking down dry turkey tolerable. All I …
Holy cats you guys. I feel like I woke up as new person today. I’m totally rejuvenated, motivated, and ready to go, and I only had one cup of coffee this morning. A large dose of caffeine wasn’t even necessary today. Don’t know what it is but the creative juices were flowing today. Maybe it’s …
Oh goodness you guys, can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving?! Seems like just a few weeks since I was last sitting lake-side with a cocktail. But here we are, just over a week out from Thanksgiving. This past weekend I ventured North for an early Thanksgiving celebration. My mom’s side of the family is rather …
You’ve all heard me whining about the frigid cold that’s hit the Midwest in the last few weeks. Okay, maybe “frigid” is a bit dramatic. It’s 30s and 40s, but it sure feels cold after the bout of 80 degree weather that hit a few weeks back. Regardless, I’ve been having a pretty hard time …
