Baking with Bacon….The Cupcake’s New Best Friend
‘Tis the season to bake or so that is what I am told but the big problem is that I really don’t enjoy baking. I may have tried out for Masterchef but I’m no Masterbaker! (I think that is a late night show on Cinemax.) I know my issue with baking is that you can’t …
Not a Common ‘Tater
I was out for lunch with one of my best friend’s (okay, it was my mom) and I overheard some people talking about their favorite common ‘taters.

Repurposed Turkey Soup

My Hungry Half-Time Honey
Are you ready for some football? (Um, not really.) Whether you like college football or are a fan of the NFL this is probably one of your favorite times of year. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m not the biggest sports fan. I have nothing against football, personally, I just don’t get it. …
