Eggs Barbacoa
What did you do the morning after Cinco de Mayo? (Seis de Mayo just doesn’t have the same ring to it). Maybe it was just another Sunday morning, maybe you were nursing a hangover, maybe you don’t have kids and you don’t wake up until the afternoon, I don’t know. We were up at a […]
Chocolate Snickerdoodles
I love playing hostess. One of my favorite things to do is to make a meal and enjoy it with friends and family. Usually, I end up going a little overboard as the host- I start to feel like dinner isn’t enough on its own, and then I start making drinks and desserts and bread. […]

Disclaimer: This tea is sweetened, but is not sweet tea! I’ve spent the past two years in the South, but I do not claim to be a Southerner. I grew up in the North, where we added sugar packets to our glasses of unsweetened tea. I realize now what these Southerners have known all along- […]

Easter Egg Treat Ideas and Traveling with Toddlers
Is anyone else out there getting ready for some holiday traveling? We are heading out on the long (LONG) drive from GA to PA soon. I knew I would need something to help the little man from going crazy on the ride, so I came up with a little Easter-themed plan. What would you guess […]
Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites
Sometimes I see a recipe somewhere and it just gets stuck in my head. I’ll think about making it time and time again; then it will start showing up in my dreams.. just another sign that I spend too much time thinking about food, yikes! A while back, I saw these cheesecake bites on Tessa’s […]
