I’ve had a love affair with cheesecake practically my whole life, but, would you believe this is my first time ever making cheesecake? It is my absolute favorite dessert, hands down, but for some reason I’ve always left the cheesecake making up to everyone else. I should have known that once I actually made cheesecake [...]
Getting Dumped {Recipe: Crabby Dip}
I have never been a big cracker and dip person. In fact, if I’m going to eat dip, I want the vehicle to eat it with be a potato. Chips, fries… anything but a cracker, please! And I am a firm believer these days of using dips for more than just dips… more like dumps. [...]

You Are a Star!
I just recently watched a heart touching video that reminds me of how hard kids have it. Sometimes I forget that among all the great moments of being a kid, there are quite a few hard moments. Moments, that I’d soon forget. I send my kids off to school each day and hope and pray [...]
The Sick Bell {Recipe: Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup}
“Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling”… the sick bell tolls. “Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling”… I charge up the stairs, peeking in on the patients who have summoned. “I’m cold, can I have more covers?” “Can I have a popcicle?” “I need a drink.” “My tummy hurts.” Naturally, as a parent, when your kids are sick you want to do anything you [...]
