I pride myself in not being a fan-girl fanatic (most of the time). I’m not sure who I would really pay big bucks to go see or meet. (I did drop $85 bucks to meet Anthony Bourdain, RIP, once though.) That being said, I think I am turning into a bit of an Ina . . . → Read More: Make It Ahead (or Ina, Part III)

Most of the “best of” or “best seller” cookbooks I pick up at the library are by authors I’ve never heard of. I’ve mentioned before, if they’re TikTok stars, I’ve never heard of them. If they’ve gone viral on YouTube, who knows? I don’t. So maybe my reviews are a little less star struck. . . . → Read More: Cookbook Review: Truly Simple by Kristin Cavallari

13 Going on 30 is the Movies & Munchies film for February. Camilla from Culinary Cam is hosting.
I am a Jennifer Garner fan so I’m not sure why I never even heard of this film. We’ve all experienced the awkward middle school angst along with the obligatory mean girls that seem to . . . → Read More: 13 Going on 30 and Pina Colada Cupcakes

I wrote recently that I didn’t post a lot of book reviews for Lit Happens, a FB book club. I decided that I would indeed do another review for our February Selection The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Joe Siple. Camilla from Culinary Cam is hosting.

I am hosting Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten for the February/March round of Cook the Books. (Announcement post here.)
While I was reading (and leading up to my post about her memoir), I decided to check out a few of her cookbooks. While at least one of her recipes . . . → Read More: Ina, Part I: Go-To Dinners

I decided to go through my saved draft archives and see what I could clean up. Honestly, some of them just needed a bit of editing and could be published. Some were missing a lot if information, and some were just mere ideas that I jotted down and saved to explore and create later. . . . → Read More: The Secret Sandwich (and Dipping) Sauce for Super Bowl Sandwiches

If you haven’t noticed, I’m kind of all over the place with my posts recently. There was the retro rant about days gone by and a book slamming review. I’ve also been revisiting old drafts and trying to rework them to see the light of day.
