Birthday Cake Popcorn

Posted on February 20, 2012

“Sprinkle with sprinkles.” I think that may just be my favorite sentence ever. Sprinkles are like sunshine to me. They are happy, colorful, bright. They are definitely recommended if you are down and out, having a bad day, or struggling…

Mini Bacon Taquitos

Posted on February 16, 2012

My husband gave these a 10. A perfect 10. Not a 10 as in “beautiful” but a wow-oh-my-good-heavens-how-did-you-make-these-they-are-so-good 10. I mean bacon. Fried? Twice?!?! I do believe we need a national holiday to celebrate that! And you could serve these…

Raspberry Pina Coladas

Posted on February 5, 2012

Those who can’t do, pretend. That’s my theory when it is the dead of winter and I wish I was basking in the sun on a pristine beach in the Caribbean. How to pretend, you ask? Just turn up the…

Enough

Posted on February 2, 2012

Sometimes, we just need to say “enough”. It is a matter of self-respect. And self-preservation. Enough wallowing. Enough cookies (for now). Enough TV. Enough mistreatment. Set your boundaries and when something or someone crosses those boundaries, don’t be shy about…

Tortilla Soup

Posted on January 31, 2012

This soup reminds me of chili because of the “kick” in flavor. It’s got spunk, baby. The chicken adds a nice mild touch, though, and the lime juice contributes a freshness. So, we’ve got a kicky spunky yet mild fresh…

Mini Oven Omelets

Posted on January 28, 2012

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Posted on January 24, 2012

Foods that are “sweet and sour” always remind me of Donny and Marie and their “little bit country, little bit rock and roll” song. How many of you are thinking of Donny’s purple socks right now? And Marie’s perfect teeth?…

Cream Cheese Frosting

White Velvet Sugar Cookies
