Thinking of Thanksgiving makes me giddy. The weird thing is that when it actually comes down to sitting at the table to eat Thanksgiving dinner, I am never hungry. I suppose grazing and tasting all day kills my appetite. Anyone else like that? [rss-cut] Needless to say, there are usually a lot of leftovers of […]

Chicken and Beans
November 11, 2013 ·
Beans..beans the more you eat, the more you…..whaaa? I’m an adult? Oh, ok. I’ll stop. Seriously though, I don’t think we eat enough beans in general. They are soooo good for you. They have virtually no fat and zero saturate fat. They are also high in fiber and protein. [rss-cut} Dried beans sometimes get over […]
Herb Stuffing
November 6, 2013 ·
What’s your style on Thanksgiving? Traditional or Risk Taker? Me, I’m a traditionalist allllll the way. I tend to make the same things every year, partly because I have my recipes and all the timing down to a T and everyone requests specific things. I have been cooking Thanksgiving for 25+ people for the last […]

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
October 21, 2013 ·
These.Bars. My BFF made these for an Origami Owl Jewelry Bar and I honestly couldn’t stop eating them. So very addictive. [rss-cut] So I obviously had to come home and make them after making a couple of tweeks. I made them for a Halloween party, and my husband conveniently forgot to put them in the […]
Do you Meal Plan?
October 17, 2013 ·
One would think that being a recipe developer and a publisher of a recipe/food blog, I would be super organized and would meal plan every week? Um, nope. I have been a meal planner in the past and honestly it does save a HUGE amount of time and money. Laziness has gotten the best of […]
