Bacon always makes everything better- right? I was asked a few months ago if I would help someone prepare a few things for her son’s wedding.  They had that period of time between the wedding and reception where they were hosting friends and family for several hours. A full day […]

Before I give a little re-cap of our week away, let me just mention that I’m energized, re-invigorated, and I’m ready to go! This week I have several new posts planned, and hopefully, I can keep the mojo going.  I helped out with a wedding this week and made the […]

Literally! I’ll be back in a week or so. In the meantime though, if you’re looking for something new to do and explore- have you seen Pioneer Woman’s new site, Tasty Kitchen?  You should.  And you should totally sign up and become a member and start sharing recipes.  And then […]
