I'm a wife and Mom and I create what I lovingly call 'homemade chic' recipes that I share on my blog. For better or worse, I also feature my crazy stories or what is on my mind. I've been cooking in the kitchen and loving it since I was just a wee youngin' and have loved to see where my passion will take me.
I have had the idea to make dog bones for children, such as my G, who are obsessed with pretending they are dogs. This idea has been swirling around the frontal lobes for probably a good year and a half now. Finally acted on it this week and succes (read full article)
The other night I woke up after dreaming all night about crab cakes. Really random, nothing about me is particularly New England-y. In fact I'm not sure I've ever eaten a crab cake before! But ever since watching that Crab Cake countdown special (read full article)
Ya'll know how much I loves me my vanilla beans. But you know, I get them so cheap that it seems like a shame to not use them liberally.I'm trying not to be a try-hard on this one. Maybe the effort put forth in this recipe is all for nothing -typic (read full article)
I've been 'perfecting' my recipe for BBCS for years now. It has been about 4 years since my last attempt...I think my both my batter as well as my coconut to batter ratio were better last time sadly! The good news is that my sauce was better this t (read full article)

So the Holidays were great, didn't feel much like Christmas in the heat, but my tan is looking great and I'm surrounded by the abundant fruits of summer so I shan't complain!We spent a week with my sister Kate in a campervan in Tasmania. The culinar (read full article)
I do realize that I am several years late jumping on the homemade marshmallow trend. It is something I have wanted to make for years, but that list has been pretty long you know! Beyond that, at least the past two years I've lived in a place where (read full article)
I really love Orzo, and recently spent hours trying to find it, as well as orecchiette, in whole wheat versions, only with success on the former. Loving being able to have it in nutty, wholesome wheat for at least the orzo!If you are unfamiliar, orz (read full article)
Oops! We were so starving I cut off the legs and plated them up to my kids before I realized I didn't get a picture!I'm posting this now because I thought this was a fantastic idea for chicken that would translate like a rock star to Turkey for Than (read full article)
This recipe was obviously borne from the tartes in the previous post. I LOVE to spin-off my own recipes and recreate them into an entirely different meal or idea. And I've so been loving on these sprite little babies With no oil or butter added to (read full article)
So if you haven't noticed I quit this blog. The decision was made the same day I realized it was finally my scheduled week to have my blog redesigned...and I'd already paid for it. Awesome.It had just become too much! And since quitting life has been (read full article)
This pretentious sounding supper {ps does anyone hate the word 'supper' as much as me?...} is the epitome of food from my culinary perspective. Start to finish this dinner was little to no more effort or time than some down-home, comfort-food-type c (read full article)
My daughter's 5th birthday party was in June, and my friend Sals, who is a photographer, took some great shots and just passed them on to me. So I thought I'd share them to get some ideas flowing if anyone is having a birthday party for a little gir (read full article)

On the subject of blogging, you'll never win as many points with a salad as you will a delectable dessert. In fact, usually a salad gets you the least amount of points possible. I wish the case were different for this beaut. Because lil 'ol girl (read full article)
Ahhh school holidays, the joyous time. Or at least it would be if every school in this state weren't also on holidays. Any where we've been has been crowded and any attempt we've made has been in vain. So literally the last few days, though it see (read full article)
