A while back, I attended a cooking demonstration at our nearby King’s Supermarket. The demonstration was taught by none other than Chef Lala, one of my favorite Latina chefs. Why is she one of my favorites? Because she’s dedicated to healthy living and tons of flavor! In person, Chef Lala is bright and bubbly, passionate …
It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club! I honestly can’t believe it’s already that time again. It’s been a crazy four weeks since I posted that Lemon Pineapple Cream Pie, and it went by faster than I’d like to admit! When I opened my assignment email this month, I was stoked! I’ve been assigned Heather’s …
We all have them: recipes in the arsenal straight from Mom’s kitchen. We rarely mess with them because really, why mess with perfection? One of my favorite things about cooking from memory is that you have that select set of go-to, weeknight meals that speak to you heart the same way a hug from your …
Today marks the start of my second year as a Keurig K-cup Ambassador. If you follow B&B, you know that I have a ridiculous addiction to coffee, specifically Green Mountain Coffee, and my Keurig.

It took me a while to join the Pinterest bandwagon, I’ll admit. I wasn’t really down with one more time suck. In fact, I’m proud that I’m still quite force-ably limiting myself to about an hour a week in browsing the site. But let it never be said that women aren’t visual creatures, you know …
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Jenne! Jenne, I hope you love your stylish new lunch accessories! I kind of feel like things have been a little sporadic here on B&B the last few weeks. I think maybe it’s time to tell you why: I got a new job! After being laid off …
It’s been a while since we did a Fritos Friday, hasn’t it? So far we’ve done Fritos Jets, Fritos Chocolate Crunchies, and my favorite, Casey’s Fritos Ballpark Toffee. Since everything we’ve done for Fritos Friday so far has been a sweet treat, I decided this Fritos Friday should be in the savory vein. Fritos are …
My well documented addiction affinity for coffee is not always without its perils: sometimes we spend more on coffee in a month than I’m really prepared to admit to the world, let alone myself. Coffee is one of those things in life that it’s worth shelling out the cash to get the best of, like …
