Pasta. It’s a lifesaver. At least in my house, and I imagine your house is likely similar to mine. My kid would eat pasta every meal of every day, and me being me? I’d let him because I love pasta too. It’s so versatile, so changeable, so easy, so freaking delicious. It’s not, however, so […]
In just under three weeks, the second Mixed is taking place in the mountains of Virginia. Last year, Mixed was AMAZING. Close to one hundred bloggers and sponsors gathered together to learn, chat, make partnerships with brands, and make friends they never knew they needed. On top of a mountain, where Dirty Dancing was filmed, […]
I can make crepes. Well, anyone can make crepes if they set their minds to it, and they have a nice flat pan. I just so happen to have a nice flat pan…and crepes are the one and only reason I have said pan. But I have multiple reasons to make these crepes, though I’m […]
I’m here to win something. Don’t ask me what, because the truth is, I really don’t know. But when someone, say, oh, KING’S HAWAIIAN ® tells you to create an amazing recipe, post it, and you can WIN something, it really doesn’t matter what the prize is, does it? No. I just like to win. […]
Sometimes, you just want something simple. Dinner seems impossible, the day was too long, the night is filled with more work than you care to think about. On days like this, I like to think breakfast for dinner. Pancakes. Waffles. Bacon and sausage. Eggs. This sweet potato hash is an easy solution that will have […]
Imagine coming home one day, tired, annoyed, just wanting someone to bring you a plate of food, a bubble bath, and an early bedtime. That happened to me a few weeks ago. And while I knew the plate of food wasn’t going to happen, or the early bedtime, I did hold on to hope that […]
Halloween. It’s upon us, folks. Before you know it, the kiddos will be dressed as ghosts and goblins (what’s a goblin even LOOK like?), zombies, witches, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A few days later, we’ll set the clocks back and then it will snow and we’ll all go buy Christmas presents and champagne for […]
I’ve stepped way outside of my comfort zone lately, kids. Like, way, way outside. Me? I like to hang out in my kitchen, barefoot, communicating via Facebook, text, and Twitter. I am perfectly content to do so – I don’t really like leaving the house. So what am I doing? I’ve started appearing on Daytime […]
A couple of weeks ago, I spent a few days in Idaho Falls, Idaho, courtesy of the Idaho Potato Commission. That’s right…a trip all about potatoes. Russets, Golden, Purple. Big. Small. Fingerling. Mashed, chips, whole. Baked and fried and sweet and savory. Heck, we even had doughnuts made out of potatoes. It happened. It was […]
I travel a lot, as you know if you hang out around my blog very much. I’m a great packer. I love airports. I know where the free wifi is, I know what seat I want on the plane. I know where to eat in all of my favorite cities…I know where to eat in […]
I love a challenge. Take for example being sent a box full of the latest creations from Hershey’s and Betty Crocker, who teamed up to make a variety of packaged products together. That’s right…together. Now sure, I could have made exactly what was on the box. But there’s no challenge in that. No thought process […]
It’s not every day that you get an email from Old El Paso (yeah, THAT Old El Paso) asking you to make a special recipe for them. I mean, here I am, a country bumpkin, and they are – well, Old El Paso. But hello? I totally did it. My challenge was to create a […]
