I am a recipe hunter. Yes, I have cookbooks and research fun recipes. But my favorite recipes come from people I know. Whose yummy treats I’ve tried. I will hunt your recipe for YEARS if I love it enough. I am still trying to squeeze a cole slaw recipe out of a girl from 2009. […] Read more…
This is a recipe I’ve been making for a little over a year. No, I did not reinvent the wheel here. But this recipe for me was an eye opener. I’ve never in my entire life eaten butternut squash before. I just haven’t. But about a year ago, my husband and I went on vacation […] Read more…
Do you shop at Publix? Well, I don’t mean to be free advertisement here, but you should. Besides the fact that they are the cleanest store you could ever go to, with incredible customer service, they also have hired sweet old grandmothers to come in twice a week and basically cook an entire meal to […] Read more…
So, it’s Friday. And I don’t know about you, but I plan on hanging out with my hubby and watching a movie on the couch… with popcorn. I ate popcorn all the time growing up. My dad loved it so much, that mom bought him an official movie popcorn maker when I was in kindergarten. […] Read more…

In light of that, I’ll tell you a short story… Last weekend, while visiting my parents, my mom showed me a tasty dish she’d whipped up for supper. Corn Salad. Well, to cut to the […] Read more…
Once upon a time, I had an idea to make my own chicken fingers. I’d never done it before, so I was nervous. But the idea of eating baked chicken ONE MORE TIME, was enough to drive me insane. So I took a chance, and you know what? Two years later, this is still […] Read more…
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. Nah, not even then. I take it back. I’m just not a big fan of vegetables. When I had kids, however, I thought I’d […] Read more…
I am a complete noodle snob. Not a snob like, I-enjoy-correctly-pronouncing-noodle-names-with-Giada-De-Laurentiis type of snob. More like…I-love-all-pasta-all-the-time-as-long-as-it’s-actual-pasta snob. The more butter and salt… the better. As a self professed snob of noodles, you can only imagine how unwelcome an imposter of noodles can be. Healthy… carb-less… gross. Until the day my husband gave me a spiralizer… You never KNEW how many […] Read more…
It’s beautiful and sunny and wonderful outside! Perfect weather to play outside and even more perfect to make some SUN TEA! Have you ever had Sun Tea before? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like, tea that is not made on the stove top, but is cooked with the heat of the sun. Today I made […] Read more…
I have the absolute, hands-down BEST salsa recipe! I am sure tons of people say that, actually I know they do, but I MEAN IT! The only salsa I’ve ever loved has been restaurant salsa, and as we all know, restaurant salsa is always a hit or miss. Sometimes too sweet, sometimes too hot, sometimes awesome, sometimes you want […] Read more…
