When it’s freezing outside, there’s only one thing on my mind: getting and staying warm. I have this issue with cold toes. When my toes are cold, it doesn’t matter how warm the rest of me is, I feel cold. During the week, this is a rare occurrence because my school building is quite warm. [...]

A mere 730 days ago, or two years in normal-people’s counting, I put on a big white dress, got my hair curled, put on turquoise shoes and walked down the aisle to marry the love of my life, best friend, and partner-in-crime. I truly cannot imagine my life without Adam in it, and am grateful [...]

Since the response was so HUGE for my perfect whole wheat pizza dough, I figured I’d go above and beyond my normal “couple of pictures and a recipe” post, and just for you, because I’m nice like that, I decided to do a photo tutorial. You’ll thank me in a little while! For those of [...]

I’ve decided to go for it… I’m throwing my proverbial hat into the proverbial ring (or should I rather say I’m throwing my whisk into the pot?) for Foodbuzz’s Project Food Blog! Challenge #1: Create a post that defines you as a food blogger. As a food blogger, many times we’re lumped into various categories. [...]

A while back, I was offered some samples of a “unique BBQ sauce and marinade” called Wild & Mild. I love sauces, and I love barbecueing, so I of course, agreed to samples. After the box of sauces hung in limbo due to the US Postal Service (don’t get me started) they finally arrived at [...]

I’ve talked a few other times about “recipe trust”. You know, those people that, when they send you a recipe, you know it must be tried? I’ve got a few people that I trust unconditionally when it comes to recipes. Well, my mom is one of those people. I don’t know that there’s ever been [...]
