I’m going to preface this post by saying that when I’m stressed, I don’t always make the best food choices. My first experience with a Zagnut candy bar (outside of the movie Beetlejuice) came a few months ago when James and I embarked on a DIY project of sorts. You see, we overhauled our kitchen …

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Sharon O.! Sharon, I hope you enjoy all that wonderful coffee! I never cease to think of how blessed I am to have fallen head over heels in love with Green Mountain Coffee. Little did I know when we bought our Keurig back in 2007 that before …
Today’s guest post comes to you not from a fellow food blogger, but from a dear friend. Jenny and I have known each other since high school, through her husband Nate. Nate and I were best friends throughout high school, and our sisters played volley ball together, so we occasionally ended up staring off into …
Jamie and I have been friends for a long time, and as far as I’m concerned, she’s an artist. The cupcake may be her canvas of choice, frosting her paint, but she knocks it out of the park with every creation. I’m so grateful to her for offering to cover B&B while I’m away. She’s …
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Disney enthusiast, or as my friend Amanda Tinney says, I’m simply a “Disney Peep”. One of my favorite restaurants at Walt Disney World is located at the Polynesian Resort, or as us Disney veterans refer to it as, “The Poly”. The Polynesian was created to pay homage to …
On Saturday, my nephew David turns 5. Five years ago, my husband and I had just disembarked from a cruise ship, and barely made it through customs (where cell phones are not allowed) when my phone began to ring. I answered it to hear both my mother’s tears, and Davey’s first cries too. There I stood, in the middle of a sidewalk at New York City’s cruise pier, crying my eyes out.
Four months later, I met Davey for the first time. We gathered at Canyon Lake, Texas, a place that my sister and I spent the majority of our childhood summers, spring breaks, and long weekends. Chellee and Jeremy walked out of their cabin, and put a little baby wearing only a diaper into my arms. He promptly threw up on me.

Ranger Cookies are possibly better than Oatmeal Raisin cookies. And I gotta be honest, that’s really saying something for me. I found the recipe in my new version of the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. It’s a great book to have around for all your cooking basics. I got the version that is spiral …
I’ve been meaning to get an entry up for a while. I missed all the Valentine’s Day shennanigans, so instead, I’ll bring you a cake perfect for Easter-Spring-Fiestaish celebrations. It used to be that I’d pick up a box of cake mix and just.. follow the instructions. But last year, I started reading other food …
