Can I brag about my kids today? Can I interrupt the goings on in my kitchen to talk about the loves of my life. 🙂 Today I was outside sitting in the grass having a picnic with Zander, and thought to myself – This is what life is about. It’s […]

So this morning I am making my daily rounds of the foodie blogs that I frequent, and I stumble on THIS post from Always In The Kitchen. Oh yum. I love grits. I adore grits. There is nothing in the world like eggs and grits. Nothing. The last few times […]

As fellow food-bloggers may have noticed, recently there have been quite a few posts about “minis”. Or cupcakes, to be exact. While the current food trend of The Cupcake may be fast fleeting, I thought I would take my turn at making a mini. Literally. I wanted to make a […]

Tonight’s was a good one indeed. I received the latest issue of Everyday Food in the mail a few days ago, and this recipe just jumped out at me. One of the things that attracted me to it was its simplicity, and the fact that I usually have all of […]

So I do apologize for yesterday. By the time I remembered it was Wednesday, I thought it was too late in the day to hop on the scale for an accurate analysis. But I did remember this morning. The drawback? I have one less day until next week Wednesday for […]

“Lead the information reformation with this medium roast from the prized Tarrazu region of Costa Rica with excellent body and robust richness.” That is the description on Boca Java’s New Media Mavericks coffee. This is a very nice cup of coffee. To be honest, I don’t have much else to […]

They look good don’t they. Darn it, darn it, darn it. Appearances are deceiving. Faithful followers will remember my horrendous experiences with candy-making this past Christmas. Need a refresher?

“Blog the night away with this exotic flavored coffee featuring vanilla, kahlua, and caramel.” This is the description of Boca Java’s Blogger’s Pajama Passion coffee. As I’m looking at the package- which is quite stunning, btw- what I notice most is the stork on the back of the package. He […]

I just had to borrow from Yoda… today I had the most unexpected thing show up on my doorstep. It was a package. A very unassuming package. I wasn’t expecting a thing. Imagine how wonderfully surprised I was to open up the cardboard box and find this: This my friends, […]

If you are anything like me, you have plenty of hard-boiled eggs around your house. Easter, for some odd reason, seems to cause plenty of extras. 🙂 Fortunatley, there really are quite a few things to do with leftover Easter Eggs. Like egg salad sandwiches. And egg salad sandwiches. Hmm. […]

Holidays are great. Especially with kids. The simplest things bring such joy to a child. Just thiking about Easter made Abigail happy today. She can’t wait to hunt her Easter Eggs and Easter Basket. And she can’t wait to see Auntie Rachel and Uncle Cody. She’s just so excited! Zander […]

I think it hit 80º today! It was so nice out, that we decided to head to the zoo. We haven’t been since nicer weather. Since we were last there, they managed to raise the funds to add on a pair of giraffes to the zoo. Abigail had a blast […]
