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 […]

Time to bring out the Kentucky Bourbon again! For this round of tailgating with Jim Beam, I went the sweet route…because there is always room for dessert! It seems that people flock to the tailgates where the cookies, brownies, and cakes are lined up (well, at least I do) – so try incorporating this […]
Today is officially the first day of Fall. To me, that means cool air, tailgate parties, marshmallows on the firepit, and most importantly, Pumpkin. Anything and everything Pumpkin. Here over the months I have been posting recipes, I have had quite a few pumpkin yummies make the line up, so I thought today would […]
Not every cake I do is HUGE. I have just as many orders for little guys! Here are a few of my recent favorites… Dark Chocolate Cake filled with fresh raspberry puree and whipped chocolate cheesecake, covered in rolled chocolate. 3 layers of Devils Food Cake filled with full peanut butter cheesecake and Reese […]
Tomorrow I hope to have my post ready about the Lewisburg West Virginia Chocolate Festival – so much to sort through, so many things to say, so many pictures to decide on! We had a great time together as a family, and I can say in all certainty that I have never seen Jon eat […]
See? Another Foodie Holiday. Told you there was at least one every single day of the year. I just skip the gross ones. Like Boiled Tofu Day and Pickled Egg Day. Nahhstty. Those sound like things I’d have a hard time eating even if Joe Rogan was there cheering me on with a fistful […]
Need something delicious for St. Patty’s Day? Look no further! Last night and this morning, I compiled a list of reader favorites. I was pointed in so many directions and inspired by so many people! Unfortunately, I couldn’t include ALL of them – can you believe it? There are THAT many Irish-y recipes for dessert […]
When I was growing up, reality shows weren’t the craze they are now. We lived in the country, which meant no cable. For YEARS, we had 3 stations…ABC, NBC, & CBS. We did get to watch PBS at my grandmother’s every afternoon after getting off the school bus, but just a quarter mile up the […]
You know the best part about making your own birthday cake? Well, there are two things, actually. First, you get to make it exactly like you want it, full of all your favorite things. Second, you can eat it before your birthday if you want to, because it’s YOUR cake. No that I did that […]
Before I started this transformation into FoodBlog World, I used to have more money. I used to have a job. I used to be able to shop. And on occasion, when I would shop, I would be at TJ Maxx and I would pick up a cookbook. Not one that I intended to actually COOK […]
My birthday is this week. It doesn’t make me special, it just happens to be a week where my age officially gets older. Personally, I don’t need a number to remind me of that. My hips do enough of that for me. They hurt, people. I keep reinjuring a muscle in there when I slip […]
