Me, Marisa Tomei, Dan Cortese, and Rocco Dispirito

If you’ve been a reader of mine since 2008, then you’ll recall the time I hung out with Rocco Dispirito.

In my goal to be fit, not only am I working out to the Your Shape Wii Game, I’m also eating things healthier when I can.  Trying to find healthy substitutions to replace the easy accessible junk food can prove to be difficult at times.  I realized that trying to find prepackaged healthy food was… [Continue Reading]

Smoked Short Ribs

I’m actually not a big fan of ribs but you can bet they are very popular around the cowboys.  I’ve one set of ribs in my life that were to die for and that was at Sticky Fingers in the Carolina’s, right Mom?  Man they were good but they were all meat and dry rubbed… [Continue Reading]

Kelly’s Cake-Off for a Cause with Buddy Valastro, Cake Boss

I strongly believe that if you can help someone, you should. What I love about some of the Cause campaigns that Electrolux  has, is that you can literally help others (the cause) by simply casting  a vote, answering a poll question or making a cupcake.  They rawk in that department. Well my good friend Audrey… [Continue Reading]

Cupcakes and Cakes with Wilton and Little Man

When Wilton asked me to do a review, I had no idea all the wonderful goodies they would be sending would be so fabulous and make little man go CRAZY!!
As a long time user of Wilton, I honestly knew this review would be biased because well, I have always loved them.   My son’s 4th birthday… [Continue Reading]

Honey, Hot Sauce, and Corn Flakes Entries

When I start something like the recent Food Challenge, I’m always nervous about having no entries so you can imagine my surprise when I saw a total of 18 entries into January’s food challenge.  On top of that, I had several nonbloggers which felt great because it tells me that people really do read my… [Continue Reading]

Pop’s Stewed Lamb Ribs Special

My father-in-law loves lamb ribs so he’s always coming up with ways to cook them.  He showed up the other day with a sack full of groceries, prepared to cook just for me!  What a nice surprise to get don’t you think?  Anyways, I sat back and watched him cut, chop and stir until the… [Continue Reading]

Simple Apple Butter Bread

While I prefer apple butter with homemade tortillas, eating apple butter bread is the next best thing. This is a pretty simple recipe and would be great with some morning coffee or milk don’t you think?  This bread is MUCH better the next day, after it’s had time to settle and completely cool off. If… [Continue Reading]
