Throughout the year, several Blogging Conferences take place that I intend to attend. These events can be wonderful opportunities for your company to be represented in a more personal, appealing way than a print or other commercial advertisement. I will, from time to time, accept sponsorships for these events, in which I will represent a […]
One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the stocking. I don’t know why, exactly, but it is. Maybe it’s because it’s a bunch of little things, all in one present, no wrapping paper to discard, no mess to clean up. Just a bundle of goodness at my fingertips. Growing up, I had, and […]
Need some more gift ideas? Look no farther. I’ve done some of the work for you – using the colors of the rainbow. (Yeah, I know, there is a difference between blue & indigo, but just go with it.) Some of these things I already own (The Kitchenaid Mixer and the Le Creuset Dutch Oven, […]
Have you gotten involved with Kitchen Play yet? No? What are you waiting for? I was thrilled to get the message from Casey (mastermind of Kitchen Play as well as Tastestopping) that I would be participating in the Holiday edition of the Progressive Dinner Party. I was a little nervous, to be honest, because all […]
Turkey. Cheese. Bacon. Bread. Cheese sauce. Starch…That’s the Kentucky Hot Brown. Carbs. It’s what’s for dinner. Well, dinner, or lunch. Or even breakfast in my case. But be afraid. Be very afraid. If you consume this masterpiece at breakfast – your day is shot. Not shot as in “I ate a Hot Pocket for breakfast” […]
Well, it’s upon us again, folks. Holiday Season. The season of having family traipsing in and out of your house, rummaging through your medicine cabinets, wearing your $119 house slippers out to their car when they think you aren’t looking, when in fact, you are merely hiding in your room, shaking, thinking of diving out […]
In case you missed my post from yesterday, Kentucky Dirty Bourbon Pie is my son’s name for this incredible dessert. Why not just call it Derby Pie, like the rest of the country, you ask? Well, while you can SAY Derby Pie all you want, out loud, in conversation, you can’t actually NAME your dessert […]
Seven is now 3 years and 2 months old. That means I have changed, oh, 2000 diapers? At least? I have you know, I am growing tired of it. He is so advanced in so many ways…his language is astounding, he talks in conversational form, he has an incredible vocabulary. He has great coordination, and […]
Last week I was lucky enough to be a part of the Iowa Corn Growers & Farmers Feed US CORNucopia Tour. You may have seen a few tweets here and there from me recently, questioning who eats what and why, mainly focusing on Grain Fed versus Grass Fed Beef. It was something we learned a […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to come to Oregon to take a tour of a working egg farm, along with 8 other bloggers. We were joined by a few folks from the American Egg Board, Food Nutritionist Mary Donkersloot, Howard Helmer, The World’s Fastest Omelet Maker, and Food Network and the […]
People should get medals for surviving high school. In high school, I was never the pretty one. I was the smart one. The Smart One sits on the bleachers and watches her friends cheer for their quarterback boyfriends. She sits against the wall at the Homecoming Dance, pretending not to mind that she has no […]
It seems no matter where you turn, you are faced with another zucchini recipe. It’s the time of year – everyone is passing out zucchini to their neighbors left and right. But I’ll guarantee you, three months from now, those same folks who are squalling “I hope I never see another zucchini in my […]
