Desserts are a funny thing in our house. Though I grew up without desserts in my life thanks to a mom who didn’t really believe in snack foods, it’s odd that I’m the sort of mom who likes to let the kids partake in the occasional baked good or pudding. Or maybe it’s just my …
Now that we are firmly installed in a new year, I’ll admit that one of my big concerns is getting my health back on an even keel. I have been working hard since the beginning of January to take care of my own personal health issues, including the chronic GERD that I deal with, as …
My husband LOVES anything with BBQ sauce in it. He has this weird craving for it all the time, and it’s something I can’t really understand all that well. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy BBQ, but it’s something I like once in a while, not all the time. One of my husband’s favorite things …
I’ve been making this recipe for many years, but I’ve never got around to actually sharing it. But since the Super Bowl is coming up, I’m gonna be making a giant vat of it, so I figured I’d share it now! This stuff is super addictive. I’d probably be shot if I tried to pass …
I’m a little late for National Popcorn Day, but I still wanted to share these SUPER adorable “Popcorn” Cupcakes! These are delicious to eat and a real treat for the eyes.

A recent harvest from the garden included Heirloom tomatoes, Grape tomatoes, Swiss Chard Stalks and Zucchini. YUM! …
One of the comments I got repeatedly when I posted BBQ Cupcakes recently was that it was kind of creepy eating food that looked like other food. I can kind of understand that, but I still really enjoy sharing funky food. It’s like food imitating food imitating art imitating… erm… food. I don’t know. But …
I can NOT wait to share these with you. I have been working on so many themed cupcake posts lately, and this one is far too cute to keep to myself. It is the absolutely PERFECT dessert to go with SO many occasions. Obviously, Memorial Day is coming up, and BBQ season will be in …
Okay, now seriously, who doesn’t love Deviled Eggs? These are always the first things to go at every BBQ I’ve ever attended. When I make them, I always buy at least three dozen eggs to ensure there are enough to go around. It seems like it’s everyone’s favorite treat. But let’s face it, there are …
I’m a sucker for a good dip. It’s why I married my husband. BA-DUM-TSH! I kid, I kid. But I do really love dip. Anything that is creamy and savory is okay by me. I LOVE crab dip, as it’s hot and spicy and sweet and just yummy. But for a nice cold dip, I …
