This past weekend was a significant reminder as to why I wanted to start blogging about food, family, and fun. Saturday, my older brother turned 40, and Sunday, of course, was Easter. In a strange turn of events, I hosted my family for dinner both nights. For some, it seems daunting, but I looked at […]
Easter Egg Dyeing
Ever since I was a child, I have loved this long standing tradition of dyeing Easter eggs. And when I think back, there were five littles, and I feel like we dyed eggs for days. Mom? How many eggs did you hard cook? Times have changed, and with only two littles here, and neither one […]
Smoked Salmon Dip
Last night, I attended L2’s school’s Annual Purse Bingo. It’s such a hoot! And even though I didn’t take away the beautiful baby blue Kate Spade purse I was coveting, as was my neighbor, I had a great time just catching up with both life-long friends and new friends, too. The event is pretty relaxed […]
Well Done Grasshopper
With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, I mean tomorrow, I couldn’t let this chance go by and not share one of my ultimate guilty pleasure cocktails – The Grasshopper.

Let’s Talk About Salt-N-Pepa

We all have our favorite recipes, drinks, desserts, even kitchen tools, BUT no matter what any of those items may be, we are often neglectful of the most important items in our kitchens. That’s right, I am talking about good ole S&P! Salt and pepper are the back bones of flavoring food. […]
Oh, Wednesday
Just a quick recap – this post has nothing to do with food, and sometimes we just gotta be fluid, so here it goes. This is how today went. My alarm goes off at 6:15. I am a night owl. I have literally spent the last ten years of my life tricking my brain, training […]
Introduction
I have wanted to start this blog for a long time. Not for fame, or notoriety, but because I really enjoy spending time in the kitchen, cooking, baking, and entertaining. And frankly, I want to share the joy and love with those that are interested. I am one paragraph in, and to be honest, I […]
