My family, and so many families I know, spend Christmas at someone else’s house. It’s wonderful to share such precious time with your extended family, but sometimes your personal family Christmas can get lost in all the traveling plans.

When was the last time you ate an entire plate of raw vegetables? Exactly. It was probably around the same time I did, which was when Zach and Kelly Kapowski were the hottest couple on TV.

Sometimes too sweet, sometimes too hot, sometimes awesome, sometimes you want […] Read more…

Did you know I never ate or even tried sweet potatoes until I was in my twenties? What’s crazy about that statement? Now, I consider sweet potatoes a staple food item. In fact, I use it so frequently, that I’m about to give it the boot. Up until recently it’s always been a baked sweet potato […] Read more…
When you hear Fried Green Tomatoes, it may conjure up images of Idgie and Ruth running the old Whistle Stop Café and getting into trouble with the law. And you know, I’m sure their fried tomatoes were just peachy, but nothing compared to the party-on-a-plate I’m about to present to you. There is something about […] Read more…
