I was really excited about this campaign because I love to cook! Although, I have never really been a fan of Filippo Berio brand olive oil, I opted to give it another try. The BZZKit was awesome! I received a bottle of Filippo Berio® Olive Oil, info on it, coupons and this really cool jar openerRead more
Hey friends! I’ll be playing catch-up on my BzzAgent product reviews today. I have been so busy with my mom these past few weeks/months. For those of you who don’t know, my mom has started dialysis. She hit stage 5 renal failure after her stroke in 2009 but the kidney doctor just kind of keptRead more
Hi friends! So, this past month I came upon a program that Lindsay from The Lean Green Bean started. It was possibly one of the coolest things I have ever done. My foodie penpal was Eliza (who doesn’t have a blog) from New York. She sent me some really cool stuff too! 1. Rise BarsRead more
Hello my friends! I know, it’s been a month but here I am with a Daniel Fast Friendly recipe! It’s only the second one I have put down in writing because I usually just throw things together last minute. This time though, I wrote it down and had my husband test the recipe. AAANNNNDDDDD, itRead more

This year I participated in a nationwide cookie swap (The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2011) that was hosted by Lindsay at Love and Olive Oil and Julie from The Little Kitchen and I have to say that it was a wonderful experience for me! I’ve been blogging about food/recipes for a couple ofRead more
Shortly after I got married and realized my love for cooking, my love for baking caught up to me rather quickly. At first I wasn’t very good at baking but as I learned that baking is kind of a science, I got better and better. There is still so much to learn and I loveRead more
After our Thanksgiving Eve shindig we had garlic mash potatoes and cranberry pear stuffing left over. I made lots of both of those because I knew they were the one things that I would not be able to get enough leftovers of. Our 14 pound AMAZING turkey was ALL gone after everyone left. It wasRead more
