This post brought to you by iBulb. All opinions are 100% mine. Right after we were married, Jon and I traveled with friends on a whirlwind trip to Europe. Two weeks, incredible hotels in incredible cities, nearly a train every day (thank God for the RailPass!), and food and fun like you can only imagine. […]
I know, that’s a mouthful. Gruyere Philly Cheesesteak Mac and Cheese. Three very good things are listed in that title: Wisconsin Gruyere – about the best cheese on the planet if you ask me; Philly Cheesesteak – there’s a reason they are so well known; Mac and Cheese – the ultimate in comfort food. The […]
Chocolate Covered Bacon. Browned Butter. Chocolate Chips. Yeah…I put all of this into one delicious cookie. As an experiment, I carted a bunch of these treats up the mountain to Mountain Lake Hotel, where I am in talks with the GM about hosting Mixed again this year. (Mark your calendar, kids – it’s November 22-24!) […]
Store bought Danish? Really good. In fact, if I go more than 6 months or so without making fresh, from-scratch Danish, I think store bought Danish is better than anything I could make myself. As if my tastebuds are ticked off at me for denying them the real thing, and so they convince my brain […]
I adore cinnamon rolls. Love them. There’s something about the way the brown sugar and cinnamon combine in those tight spirals, topped with a sweetened cream cheese frosting (which I put on while the buns are still nice and hot – it’s just…heartwarming. Yeah, that’s it…heartwarming. I wish I could say I make them often, […]
I know…I’ve been MIA. It’s the cookbook, y’all. Tightest deadline I’ve ever faced, and SO much work. Of course, adding in 4 additional trips in January wasn’t a big help on the time management system…but no one ever accused me of being a genius. However, the book has been turned in – ON TIME, as […]
Have you ever been on Pinterest, gawking around, and stumbled upon a craft so insanely easy you wonder why you never thought of it? Yeah, me either. But I’m hoping you’ll think, wow, clever idea that Doughmesstic chic had. Wish I’d have thought of it. Because here’s the deal…it’s not really even a craft. It’s […]
This post brought to you by Avocados from Mexico. All opinions are 100% mine. Superbowl time. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Football Season is the BEST season. The Superbowl? It’s the culmination of all those months of hard hitting television time; the epitome of everything we’ve learned this season. Namely – who […]
There are only two seasons in the year. You may think Spring. Summer. Fall. Winter. And sure, you are kind of right…but still, you are wrong. There are but two seasons. Football Season, and Waiting for Football Season. Thank God it’s still Football season, even if it IS just one more game. Then…cold, warm, sweltering, […]
I’m thrilled to be guest posting for Susan today. We had the opportunity to meet face-to-face last year during the Ohio Dairy Adventure. Let me tell you –it doesn’t get more intimate that milking cows at 5AM with your fellow bloggers! We had a blast and it was great to finally meet the spunky lady […]
As you may know, I am not what you’d call a “People Person.” Like, at all. Meeting new people is hard for me – I am backwards, awkward, and well, people scare me in general. But as soon as I met Krista, the force behind Budget Gourmet Mom, I immediately loved her. Sweet. Sassy. Downright […]
This post brought to you by Boar’s Head. All opinions are 100% mine. As you read this, I am likely slathered in SPF30, kicking back on the pool deck of a Royal Caribbean Cruiseliner, getting ready to wander up to Johnny Rockets for a bit of lunch. Don’t be hating…I am also weaning myself off […]
