Please, please, pretty please, tell me you don’t use a pepper shaker with the pre ground pepper. I mean, I won’t judge you or anything, well maybe just a little. Getting a pepper mill changed my life…transformed it. Freshly ground pepper is WAY WAY WAY better than the pre-ground variety. Do me a favor and […]

S’mores Milkshake & Giveaway
June 27, 2012 ·
I am not quite sure if I can even say I have a sister anymore. She, “sister”, comes over today when I was developing this recipe and saw the new Jif Chocolate Hazelnut spread on the counter and said, “Is this like Nutella or something?” I said, “Yeah, it’s delicious, taste it.” With a turned […]

I bake a lot. I know based on the lack of posting these days, it doesn’t seem like it, but I do. Ok, you know that sticky residue on your baking pans, that no matter how many times you scrub your pan it won’t come off? You know what I’m talking about right? Well, I […]
Lipton Giveaway
June 20, 2012 ·
I do love a good flavored water. I find that if my water is flavored…I drink WAYYYYYYYY more of it. Lipton has new Tea & Honey TO GO packets out. They are mighty tasty. I had the opportunity to sample the Strawberry Acai , Mango Pineapple and Peach Apricot, each were equally delicious. Add one […]
Cuban Burger
June 18, 2012 ·
Cuban Sandwiches are HUGE here in Tampa. Most of the country has probably never even heard of them. It’s a mighty fine sandwich with roast Cuban pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo and mustard on Cuban Bread, then the bread is brushed with butter and the sandwich is pressed thin.

Mango Avocado Salsa
June 11, 2012 ·
I could probably live on salsa..every type of salsa. Sweet, spicy..all kinds. This is my favorite salsa of all times. It’s sweet from the mango and creamy from the avocado and a little spicy from the onion and cilantro. It’s just plain glorious. Throw it on some chips, add it atop grilled chicken, salmon, salad..the […]

June 8, 2012 ·
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Quaker Oats for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I really try to only get fruit and yogurt for my kids to munch on or to pack in their lunches, but they quicky get tired of the same things over and over. So when […]
