I figure it might be one you’d want to share on the blog. I have been using some of your recipes lately and …

~by Nikki (No men readers…not the “hot blonde.” Although, I did toy with calling it that.)  S’anyway peeps…a friend of mine gave me a sample size of two of the syrups I’ve been wanting to try..Torani sugar-free Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Davinci sugar-free Praline. She gave me three ounces of each and I really didn’t want to waste them. The …

~~posted by Jen The finished bow wreath hanging on my front door Don’t laugh at me about this, ok? I know it might seem a bit ghetteaux fabulous to some folks,  but I thought it was cute. It’s definitely an inexpensive decoration, doesn’t take much time to make, and it would be a great project the kids could help out …

That’s why for this week’s mocktail I made over a winter-time favorite. Every year during the holidays, I always make a big pot of mulled cider and let it simmer on the …

~by Nikki  I feel like I’ve deceived you peeps. The way I talk about my divas, you’d think they were these little culinary adventurers, ready to take on every new veggie and protein source with an open mind and an empty stomach.

~~posted by Jen Basket: $2 at Michael’s, Towel 50 cents at Walmart, pasta 66 cents at Stop N Shop, sauce $1.50 at Aldi, Candle $4 at Michael’s, Baguette $2.50 at Panera Bread Total $11.16 This is a pretty tough financial time for most everyone, and it doesn’t help that the holidays are upon us. So many people we need to …

~~posted by Jen A few weeks back, I shared my Mediterranean Tilapia recipe with y’all and it seemed to be well received.
