Oreo Truffle Tarts
Check out my YouTube Channel!! I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of Oreos. It might actually be in my best interest to buy stock in them, because I have probably contributed to a rise in demand for these irresistible cookies.

Snickerdoodles
Check out my YouTube Channel!! My husband used to buy these cookies by the dozen from the store, and it was always one of those circumstances when I became immediately excited…then frustrated because I knew I’d end up eating half a dozen of them within the first three minutes of their arrival. Who could resist the soft, cinnamon buttery goodness of those cookies topped with the perfect balance of cinnamon and sugar? […]

Chocolate Chip Scones
Check out my YouTube Channel!! It’s amazing how much your life can change after having kids. A good example would be our movie selections… Back in the stone age (the 80’s), my favorite movie as a 7 year old child was “Coming to America” with Eddie Murphy. Remember that movie? Yeah, that was my favorite movie as a 7 YEAR OLD. Even though I did turn out semi-okay, that kind of movie most definitely will not be played for our 7 year old daughter. She has to be at least 8… (insert sarcasm here) […]

Lactation Cookies
Check out my YouTube channel!! After giving birth to my daughter, my sister-in-law made these cookies for me. I laughed at the thought of them actually helping my milk supply, but they really did…and I had absolutely NO problem eating at least 4 of them a day.

Brownie Truffle Pie
Check out my YouTube channel!! Flipping through recipe books when you’re hungry is like begging someone to hold a chocolate bar in front of your face while dieting. It’s cruel and unusual punishment, yet I find myself doing this on a regular basis. Too many times I’ve slammed the book shut and fussed at myself for the self-inflicted torture. Sometimes I wonder if that’s the real dessert in the pictures though, because it looks like an oasis in a desert since I want to eat the page itself. I can’t be the only one who does this… […]

Triple Grilled Cheese
Check out my YouTube Channel!! “Chef” is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. Jon Favreau is one of my favorite actors, the movie is full of humor and good-hearted fun, and OH MY GOSH THE FOOD. Several scenes make me want to eat; chocolate lava cake, pasta, andouille sausage, cuban sandwiches, brisket, beignets, and too many other items that look delicious but I have no idea what they’re called because I’m too busy drooling over them to pay attention to what they are. One scene stuck out. […]

Taco Tuesday Halloween
Is it a coincidence that Halloween fell on Taco Tuesday this year? I think not. Originally, our family was supposed to dress up with a superhero theme. Little Man had his Batman costume and Sweet Girl had her Wonder Woman
Awesome Chicken Quesadillas
Where is your favorite place to get a good chicken quesadilla? In the restaurant world, my favorite chicken quesadillas are from Cantina 76 in downtown Columbia, created by Chef David Grillo (who is awesome BTW). They use grated mozzarella cheese,
Welcome to my laboratory…
A kitchen to a chef is like a laboratory to a mad scientist. However, there is a difference… In a kitchen, it’s loud. From pots clanging to loud music to constant running water to cursing, a kitchen is generally categorized as
