Have you ever noticed that an Arctic chill brings with it an undeniable craving for soup? I’m not sure how this phenomenon occurs but a person needs soup in the winter like they need a spandex bikini in the summer. It’s just natural. (What? Am I the only one?) I made this week’s recipe out […]
Sweet Coconut Cake Recipe
Have I mentioned lately that I have developed an unhealthy relationship with sugar? That what used to be an occasional treat has now become a big part of my own personal Food Pyramid? Did I also mention that I’ve been craving dessert like a fish craves water, or a dog craves popcorn (wait, is it […]

It’s that time of the year, folks! Time to kick up our heels and party like it’s 1995…or,I guess, 2010. It’s almost time to ring in the New Year, and what’s synonymous with ringing in the New Year?

Chocolate Brownie Trifle Recipe
Dessert. You know, I never used to be a dessert fan.

They just didn’t matter to me. And you know what? That really worked for […]
Easy Cheesy Meatballs Recipe
I have a question for you… How do you feel about balls? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist and apparently I have the humorous mindset of a 10 year-old boy) I am talking about meatballs, people.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe
If it were humanly possible to fall in love with a food item I would think I had found my soulmate and the greatest love of my life. Although, now that I think of it I have seen documentaries where people have fallen in love with their horses, goats and dogs so maybe I should […]
