Small things are generally cute, with the exception of small zits and fire ants. Small balls are cute. And when they are covered in chocolate, that just puts them over the top.

March 20, 2012 ·
Don’t you just love lettuce wraps? You can eat a plethora of them and not feel guilty or feel like you need to go purge. I honestly don’t remember the first place I had them, put I remember the coolness of the crispy lettuce against the piping hot filling. It was pure heaven. And very […]

I can not express to you how much I love these LorAnn Bakery Emulsion flavorings. I use them as much as I can. They are magical. Throw some in your boxed cake mix and none will know it’s a boxed cake! The Princess Cake & Cookie gives ordinary sugar cookies a little something special. I […]
Red Gold Tomato Giveaway
March 14, 2012 ·
The brand of tomato sauce can make or break a meal. I have had some bad in my day. They shall remain nameless, but some taste like you are eating a spoonful of tinfoil and some are so bland that you wonder if it is just a red dyed substance. The line of Red Gold […]

I don’t know what I did without this stuff! I have the kind of hair that really can’t decide what it wants to do. It’s kinda straight and kinda fuzzy, some curl in random places, it’s a hot mess really. I certainly don’t have the kind of hair that I can let dry naturally. Think […]

Beefy Baked Potatoes
March 6, 2012 ·
When I was developing my $10 meal recipes for Sweetbay Supermarket, they gave me the idea of developing a different type of Shepherds Pie. While my Guinness Shepherds Pie is wildly popular, I didn’t want to use beer in their recipe and wanted to take the step of making mashed potatoes out of the equation. […]
