Favorite Things Thursday

See this cute little dog? We call him “Fluffy Butt”. He likes licking ears and eyeballs. His actual name is Winston, quite a regal name for a Chihuahua. He sheds like mad. The amount of hair that comes off this little 10 pound creature is unreal. I even use the Furminator (a previous Favorite Things […]

Chocolate Banana Bread

Some might say it’s too hot to bake. I say it’s never too hot to bake. Sure, I live in Florida. But in Florida, central a/c is a MUST. So baking doesn’t heat my house. Just crank down the air a bit…or turn on a fan..or bake naked. You will be fine. I know we […]

Peach Ice Cream

Please tell me you have an ice cream maker. It’s a kitchen MUST HAVE. One might think it is one of those kitchen gadgets that you buy, use it once and then it goes into the kitchen gadget graveyard. Sooo, not true. I use mine all the time. This is the one I have and […]

You may think this might be an excessive amount of scoops, but au contraire. I use them allll the time. I use them for everything from measuring out hamburger meat, cupcake batter, muffin batter, cookie dough, meatballs, truffles..I could go on and on. They serve as a mellon baller and I obviously use them for […]

Cows are cute and all but…..

Cows are food. Do you ever think about where your food comes from? More specifically, where your beef comes from…the journey it takes from birth to your plate? Probably not, I know I didn’t. All I knew is if my ribeyes were on sale at the grocery store and what night of the week I […]

Favorite Things Thursday

I have been going to Key West since I was a little girl. My parents friends (Hi Susan, Larry and Shannon) used to take me down there with them in their  Bluebird Motorhome. Some of my best childhood memories (and sunburns) were down in the Keys. Anyhoooo, I love Kinos. Kinos are flip flips/sandals that […]
