My mother-in-law had surgery this past week which means all of the girls in my hubby’s family need to pitch in a little bit more than usual for Christmas dinner. As mentioned before, I’m not the best cook in the world, but I’m not too shabby with an easy recipe or fun new idea. So [...]
OK, I have to admit… I’m not the best chef in the world. In fact, I only have about 5 dishes that I can make really well. Since I’ve been reading more blogs and spending countless hours on Pinterest looking at delicious recipes, I’ve decided that it’s time to hunker down and try new things! [...]

Yesterday my husband’s family had a 4th of July celebration with tons of food and family fun. During the planning phase, I decided to volunteer to bring the cole slaw. Now, I’ve never made cole slaw before in my life… so why did I speak up? I still have no idea! And of course my husband’s family [...]
