If you’re anything like me, you enjoy watching TV. And, of course, cooking! There is nothing better than combining the two to make a fabulous treat. The Food Network is an awesome approach to entertainment and education for the cooking heart.
The best part of the Food Network is that it is on [...]
My husband is a major video game player, and I have to admit there are a few that I indulge in! The first being Guitar Hero 3. It’s just awesome! But another interesting one is a game called Cooking Mama: Cook Off. This video game is for Nintendo DS or Nintendo Wii.
The premise of the game is [...]
While we do care about our health, my husband and I are big meat eaters. In fact, I think if dinner didn’t’ include meat of some sort we wouldn’t know what to do! That being said, we have learned that chicken is definitely one of the best for us, and one of the easiest, most [...]
When I registered for wedding gifts during our engagement, I never thought to register for a griddle. However, at one of my showers, I received an electric griddle. I almost considered taking it back and exchanging for another product, but I was too lazy! Boy am I glad I didn’t!
My electric griddle is great! It [...]

Once again, I can’t plug appetizers enough. They are great versatile choices for your guests - or for dinner yourself! As promised, I wanted to share another favorite - dips!
There are so many dips out there to try - sour cream based, cheese based, mayo based, etc. These are so creative because you can choose [...]
One of my staple appetizers is the cheese ball. In most cases, you can be pretty safe thinking most people like cheese. A cheese ball is simply some cheese (usually cream cheese or a mixture of other cheeses) paired with a variety of “mix-ins.” They are rolled into a ball form, chilled, often times rolled [...]
I think one of the easiest ways to be an impressive host/hostess is to have an item to share when guests arrive! It seems like whenever a group of people get together, we instinctively want to eat. Having a finger food on hand is a great way to break the ice, make people feel welcome, [...]
When I was a young girl, I always wanted a Kitchenaid mixer. I know that might sound crazy, but my aunts always baked the best treats, and they created them using their mixers! I remember when I was old enough, they told us whenever we got married, they would purchase us our very own mixer.
