I have entered no man’s land with regards to where I stand in the blogging world. And that’s awesome when you’re just blogging cause you want to write about what’s going on with your life and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Thanks to Duncan Hines for sponsoring my writing. There’s no limit to the baking possibilities, so grab your favorite Duncan Hines mix and Comstock or Wilderness fruit fillings and Bake On! www.duncanhines.com.

I suck at making rolls. Horrible roll maker. I’ll make bread for you any day–and it will be AMAZING–but please, oh please, don’t ask me to make rolls. They just take so long…and I’m not so great at the waiting thing. I made these Thursday night and then again on Friday and I’ll probably make [...]
Last month I was contacted by the most awesome Laura for Espolón tequila. Laura sent along some cocktail recipes and she also ended up sending a humongous goodie box complete with Espolón’s Blanco and Reposado varieties and a lucha libre mask.

Stuff you need: Milk – I used a half gallon of 2%. 1 cup plain store bought yogurt with live and active cultures [most yogurt is going to fit the bill]. A slow cooker aka a Crockpot. A beach towel. A thermometer. Cheese cloth/paper [...]
Summer might be on its way out but there’s still plenty of time for summer parties and spending time with friends. Gin may not be for everyone but it’s a personal favorite of mine and an underutilized spirit at casual get-togethers. Your friends are sure to be impressed by these three pretty cocktails and you [...]
I am so tired of coming up with what to make for dinner every night so we’ve gone back to–yet again–Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking: A Full Year of Simple, Menus and Easy Recipes and let me tell you, that’s not a bad thing. For an entire year, you have a day-by-day recipe book complete with [...]
