When it comes to cooking, I like a good challenge. Zatarain’s recently launched a line of frozen entrees for two and challenged the ambassador team to do something new and unique with one of their frozen meals. This was going to be a challenge for a couple of different reasons. First of all, we have [...]

Failure Rebound {Recipe: Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Jelly Glaze}
Food blogging isn’t always pretty…not everything I make comes out in the nice little package I envision when starting a new recipe. Take this Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Jelly Glaze.

Project 365 2012 – Weeks 11 & 12 – A Photo a Day Journey
I’ve been doing a bit of traveling the past couple of weeks and somehow got a week behind on posting my Project 365 pictures. This week, you get two weeks of photos instead of one. When I travel, I use my iPhone a lot for pictures, so if you are interested in any behind the [...]
Time to Brag {Recipe: Mom’s Best Angel Food Cake}

Connect Through Reading – Fragile by Lisa Unger
I’m not sure what first drew me to the book Fragile, by Lisa Unger. Knowing me it was probably the cover image… I tend to be one who totally judges a book by the cover. After checking out some of the great reviews of Fragile by my friends on Goodreads, I decided to give this [...]
Project 365 2012 – Week 10 – A Photo a Day Journey
It was kind of a lame week for me in pictures. For some reason I had a really hard time slowing down and taking pictures this week.
