This post was sponsored by Starbucks in conjunction with Yummly. I have a confession. I love Starbucks iced coffee drinks. Not that this is particularly a bad thing. I mean, they are pretty darn delicious. However, with a new baby in tow, it’s not so easy to just hop around the corner every time I […]
In case you didn’t know, food bloggers network… a lot. And we network with each other most of all. In San Diego, we have a dedicated group of bloggers who meet up regularly, share ideas, inspirations and opportunities with each other. This group is a wonderful resource and many of these people have become dear […]
If you are Pinterest junkie like me, you’ve probably been inundated by the holiday pictures already with everything from making your own paper maché stockings to unique gifts made from paperclips. Don’t get me wrong. I love perusing some of the crazy ideas and the really good ones. It’s a great source to find inspiration […]
So is it stuffing or is it dressing? Well, that all depends. The Joy of Cooking states that it is stuffing when cooked in the bird and dressing when cooked in a dish. I’ve also heard that those in the Southern States are more likely to say dressing whereas those in the Northern U.S. say […]

I woke up this morning feeling so cold, I thought for sure all the windows in the house had been left open. My cat, Roxy had wedged herself into my hip, pinning down the covers on one side and leaving the other too short to cover me up. It left me with that strange sensation […]
I really dislike fad diets. Over the years there have been so many crazy weight loss schemes with a majority of them not based in health and nutrition. Sure, you may lose weight if you remove all carbohydrates, persist on mainly juice or restrict yourself to 600 calories a day but are you healthy? Most […]
My days have gotten off to a slow start lately. It seems like before I know it, it’s 3:00 in the afternoon and I haven’t accomplished ½ of what I wanted to. I’ve also been having some difficulty disciplining my dear, sweet obnoxiously bitchy cat, Roxy. She has scratched the living daylight out of a […]
I know I’m normally kind of flighty and easily distracted but I have been paying attention to all you folks the past two weeks. For an entry into the Klondike potato giveaway, I asked readers to tell me what they would make with their own bag of potatoes. To my surprise, the top two answers […]
Everyone is all about kale lately. Kale chips, kale lasagna, kale salads; kale kale kale! You’d think someone had discovered a new miracle vegetable! Except kale is not new… My father has been growing kale on and off over the years in his [crazy & maniacly huge] garden. We often ate it raw in a […]
