~~posted by Jen The kids are back to school. Check. Summer’s officially over. Check. Now’s the time when the Fall dinner party season starts, the boss has to be invited to dinner, or the neighbors want a potluck. So, you need an impressive dish that’s WLS friendly but can be passed off as NOT! Well, we’ve got your back! Beef …

~by Nikki BBQ’s can be a prelude to disaster y’all! But they don’t have to be. You can survive the family barbecue this Labor Day!

Here’s what yours truly WON’T …

I will admit that I find 99.9% of the food at McDonald’s objectionable. Even before surgery. Their burgers…ehnnn…they’re ok. Their fries are good, but of course they are a slippery slope for me.

~by Nikki From my lovely friend Dee. Remember I told you she had a bit of trouble due to my…erm…technical difficulties? Well her bon-bons still turned out pretty decent. She does, however, have some advice to future bon-bon chefs. She said you might think about cutting them smaller so as not to be so hard on the teeth when eaten. …

~~by Nikki Ok, so here’s the deal. Life has been sort of crazy lately. And I’ve been promising these bon-bon’s FOREVER. You’ve lost faith in the fact that I’ll ever post them. I understand. If I were you, I would have too. So first off let me apologize for that! The hold up is that I don’t have a pic. …

~~posted by Jen OK, we know it’s not even Labor Day yet, but Summer is winding down and we’ve been thinking about Fall.  Of course, we had to poll our friends and see what Fall recipes you are most looking forward to!  Debby B, one of our FaceBook fans, responded to the Poucher Poll today and asked about Pumpkin in …
