Hot Virginia Dip
Several years ago, my dear Aunt Judy had a massive family reunion at her home. Great fun was had and delicious food was eaten…as always. This dip stands out in my memory. Perhaps it’s because it was so tasty…or maybe because I ate so much of it. Either way, I copied the recipe from Aunt…

Easter Food: Solved
In case you’re still looking for some ideas of food to serve on Easter, I’ve gotcha covered. Food is certainly not the most important part of Easter. Not by a long shot. However, I love to have special foods to celebrate special days. It just makes it more … {can I say it again?} special.…

Sanity Saver (Kitchen Edition)
One of my goals for 2011 was to organize my recipes. It never happened. I even had this nice binder to organize them…but I never did it. That’s because I knew it would be a monstrous task to go through all my recipes. So I just never did it. However, meal planning started taking longer…

Bacon-Cantaloupe Wraps
Every once in a while, my hubby does something that seems kinda out of the ordinary. Not anything bad – just different and not something I would expect him to do. Before you start suspecting that it’s something horrid, allow me to explain: 🙂 Somehow I started getting Every Day with Rachael Ray mags for…

Kickin’ in the Kitchen
Recently, a girl commented to me that she felt bad for her future husband because she didn’t like cooking. haha 😀 I thought back to the days before I was married (only 3 years ago) and realized I was in the same predicament then too. I really detested cooking. Now, I loved to bake. Cookies,…

Our Easter Grill-Out
So this year Easter was HOT. Like, 88 degrees hot. I’ve grown up eating ham on Easter and I’ve even cooked ham for Easter, but this year we decided to grill out instead of turning the oven on. Best decision ever! I had so much fun looking for cool grilling recipes to try. My hubby…

Pretty Punch
As a general rule, I’m not a fan of punch. You know, the bright red stuff you get in a clear plastic cup at weddings, grad parties, church fellowships, baby showers, etc? That stuff. (Which is precisely why I chose to ditch the fruity punch and go with coffee punch at my wedding. mmmmm :))…

Sigrid. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that name before. Do you know what it means? Me neither. At least, not the technical definition. But I know what it means to me: Sweet, creamy, nutty, & delicious. huh? you’re confused? Allow me to explain: Sigrid – I have no idea who she is. But I…
