Happy Monday, y’all! How was your weekend? Our weekend was full of Football Championship games, chilly weather, slow cooker taco soup, recipe testing, and relaxing. Just look at that little Monkey waiting for his turn to go in. He played a great game, and my heart just melts seeing his little figure there with his coaches….
Happiness is many things. This week Happiness came in the form of this adorable sign that a friend surprised me with <3 Thank you Amy!!! I do love my boots, and I think this pretty much nails it! Entertainment Every time I hear Taylor Swift’s song “Shake it Off” I smile and get my shimmy on. I…
Happy Monday! I spent a few days in New York last week with Fisher Nuts for an event with Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, where I had the most scrumptious Walnut and Fontina Mac and Cheese. I walked around Times Square with Jenny and Lori and took pictures in the rain with our New York Umbrellas. If you…

Happy Monday-after-Halloween! I feel as if that should be today’s official title – or alternately, Happy-Monday-After-The-Time-Change-Who-Else-Forgot-to-Change-a-Clock? We forgot to move Princess’ clock back, so she woke up at 4:40 and started getting ready for school today!!! OOOPS! Yeah, we kinda “blew that”…. That’s the picture we used for her Student Council President campaign poster 🙂…
This cheesy spicy black bean avocado dip might be one of the easiest, and most versatile recipes I’ve ever made. I love food that’s a hot mess. Food that is spreadable, dippable, and just makes you feel happy when you eat it. Hot mess food is rarely pretty to look at, certainly doesn’t…
I don’t know if there’s an official chocolate season, but I think the entire month of October leading up to Halloween, and probably November and December and January… well, let’s just call it October through February shall we? Chocolate season is October through February. That’s a lot of chocolate, y’all. A lot of chocolate…
Can we share a moment? Can I confess a little something to you? Sometimes it’s really hard to get out of bed in the morning, y’all. There are days where I want to toss the comforter back up over my head, burrow back into my little nook, and sleep just a wee bit longer; and…
Happy Monday! You should start your day off with some of these Rum Soaked Banana Nut Muffin Bites – they’re scrumptious! How was your weekend? Did you eat anything delicious? I feel I should go ahead and apologize to your waistlines, because this week’s features are all sweets. Really incredibly delightful, decadent, delicious sweets.
Can we talk a little about kitchen magic? The kind of magic that occurs when you take basic ordinary ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and spices – but what happens once those ingredients are combined is anything but ordinary; it’s kitchen magic. I firmly believe that banana bread and banana nut muffins are made of…
