My husband’s Aunt Susan has made this dip the past two Christmases. The cousins will congregate, hover, and it will be gone within ten minutes. Yesterday we had two buddies over to watch the Patriot’s dominate and I thought this … Continue reading
‘Tis the season…for sweets! For anyone looking for something that is delicious, can be brought to a holiday party and ISN’T chocolatey or peanut buttery, or that is a cheaper gift option (the economy… sigh), should consider making homemade candied … Continue reading
Beyonce, at times formerly known as Sasha Fierce, is one heck of a woman. She can sing, dance, act, and my goodness… she actually looks like she knows how to eat (now I just need to spot her at Frankie’s 457 on Court … Continue reading
