Hey y’all! Today’s recipe is brought to you by ME as a part of my duties as a VELVEETA Kitchenista! See ^^^^^ that’s me ^^^ in my snazzy retro-style Velveeta Apron. Today’s recipe is my Wildcard recipe. We were allowed to choose a holiday/event and create an original recipe for it. I chose Thanksgiving because…
Comfortable in this skin. I’m not. And I am. I’ve gained weight. Quite a bit. I look at you and I don’t see your size, I see your sparkling eyes, your boisterous infectious laugh, your beautiful hair, your captivating smile, your heart, your elegant hands, your adorable sprinkling of freckles, the bounce in your step,…
I tweeted something to a couple of ladies that I adore on Twitter and this popped up within SECONDS in my stream: I’m curious. Do y’all know what she’s talking about? (hint: It’s something I’ve never eaten before)
Welcome to the SIXTH post of the Saving Second Base project! Author: Amanda Tumpak My mom always tried to get me interested in cooking when I was growing up. I never really had an interest in it. I thought I had plenty of time to learn, but when I met my husband-to-be it became a…
I sit here in my bed tonight, being lulled to sleep by the gentle rocking of the ship; thinking back over our day and I must admit, I’m kind of in awe. We woke up this morning and had an amazing breakfast.. hot chocolate (for the kids), omelets, waffles, fruit, bacon, milk and juice and…

I love school. I love back to school. Both as a child and now as a parent, school holds beautiful memories and the promise of hope and possibilities. My mom was an elementary school teacher so I have a unique insiders perspective because I grew up inside the schools. From mid August to early June…
This isn’t something I do. I don’t call people out. I don’t disparage others. However. How-freaking-ever. How. DARE. YOU. It’s one thing to bastardize a recipe, to snag a pic of mine and pretend you took it. To use it in a post without giving proper credit… I can overlook that, offer correction, suggestions, guidance,…
Do you remember your first teacher? How about the first teacher to make a difference in your life? I remember both. I have a unique perspective. My mom was an elementary school teacher. I grew up in an elementary school, early summer and late summer meant the smell of chalk dust, freshly washed blackboards, the…
I remember when happiness was counting my tips after a long shift and knowing that I’d made enough to pay bills, go have drinks with Nathan, buy a new pair of shoes or jeans and pay for the next social event with my sorority. I remember when happiness was staying up until 2 AM sitting…
Wow, that might be the longest title ever to show up on my blog 😉 I couldn’t figure out a more succinct way to tell y’all that I had snacks, lunch and dinner ideas to share with y’all, though 😉 Welcome to week 5 (I know, right!) of the HEB/ConAgra meal maker blogger challenge! My…
