Last week was pretty crazy around here. Between celebrating B & B’s anniversary, and dealing with a very sick cat that ended up in the Vet ER for several days, I thought I might lose a little bit of my mind. Milo before he got poorly sick, on his favorite blankie. It used to be …
Raise your hand if you love mangoes, but they’ve always intimidated you! Up until a few weeks ago, I would have raised my hand. Every time I’ve had mango in a restaurant, I’ve loved it to bits. But I always passed it over in the supermarket – a funny foreign ingredient that I’d never use …
It’s that time again, time for a Secret Recipe Club reveal! This month I was assigned Itzy’s Kitchen, written by Erica, mom to the most adorable baby girl, Kaylin, and an English Bulldog named Frank. My pal Maegan would be so in love with Frank! It didn’t take me long to settle on a recipe. …

It’s such fun getting your assignment each month, mentally strolling through what might be a new-to-you blog, finding all the treasures it holds. This month I …
Remember the other week when I made those crazy good strawberry scones? Well, I managed to find the same brand of strawberries here on the East Coast, and they were just as flavorful. When my Southern Living magazine arrived this month with an alluring headline on the cover: “Luscious Strawberry Desserts”, I had to flip …
I’m not much one for pressuring other people in the grocery store about what to buy. Over the years, I’ve become more informed about where my food comes from, and that leads me to make choices that may be different from mainstream America. Occasionally, I’ve been accused by my midwestern brother-in-law for being a food …
