So, yeah. I got a new stove. And it is magical. Wonderful. Amazing. Well, not really. It’s just a regular stove. But I’ve been cooking on a nearly-dead appliance for about 5 years. So this new one is like magic. I really wanted an electric one. But the way my house is set up…. I settled for this gas stove
This is tragic. I don’t know what to do. Somehow, the oil tray to my George Foreman Grill got stuck in my dish washer and ended up melting from the heat. If I had known better, I’d have ensured that the drip tray was placed on the top rack of the dish washer instead of the bottom rack…but hindsight is
Thankfully, my children have low expectations when it comes to my cooking. It is clear to them that I’m not a gourmet chef. So when my son asked me to bake him a batch of chocolate chip cookies, I felt little to no pressure to start from scratch. Pillsbury to the rescue! These 24 pre-cut cookie dough chunks came in handy
Whoever invented red velvet cupcakes gets a round of applause from me. I’m consumed by the thought of them. They are delicious. Absolutely divine.

I vividly remember cutting the bananas in a bowl for her and watching as she stacked Nilla Wafers on top of them. I made an attempt to recreate my mom’s banana pudding. After gathering all the supplies and assembling the ingredients in a container I
Saturday mornings are wonderful times for my family. We all sleep extra late (with the exception of my two youngest children) and we take the time to unwind from our incredibly busy week. I enjoy Saturdays because that is the only day of the week we get to have breakfast together. I break out the waffle iron, scramble a few
Any meal that cuts down my time in the kitchen is a winner! I am always in search of something quick and easy. So imagine my excitement when I passed these meatball in the frozen foods section of Sam’s! It took no time to heat these pre-cooked meatballs. They were ready in less that 30 minutes. And to give them
It doesn’t take much to thrill me. A simple, well-made dinner gives me all kinds of chills. So you can imagine the joy I felt when my corn bread turned out nicely. Throughout this blog, I will consistently mention that I’m not the greatest cook. So please don’t laugh at my store-bought cornbread batter. Even though I only had to
