The recipe swap for this month is holiday treats! While you can obviously make cookies or other desserts throughout the year, its just different to me to make them around the holidays. Maybe its being able to look a the pretty decorations or the tree while the cookies are baking […]
I’m an oatmeal cookie naturalist. There is absolutely no reason to add raisins, chocolate or anything else you can think of to an oatmeal cookie. It’s quite delicious on its own. Luckily for me, Tom agrees. At the absolute most, I guess I could understand adding honey or cinnamon to […]
When I’m reading someone’s blog, I always like the little stories or comments they include about their life. I’m a naturally nosy person and like to know about people without outright asking them. Those little stories and comments satisfy my inner nosiness. Please tell me I’m not alone in this. […]
A couple of days ago on a message board I read quite frequently, someone mentioned that they were having Philly Cheesesteak Spring Rolls as appetizers for their wedding. Usually I’m not a huge fan of anything that needs to be fried, but my love of egg rolls and cheesesteaks won […]

I have a confession. For the longest time I preferred my burger to come with the standard ketchup-mustard-pickles-onions get up that McDonald’s offers. If I was eating at Wendy’s I could stand the mayo, lettuce and tomato but only because they were surrounded by cheese, bacon and a burger. Only […]
