I live for a good deal. It’s hard for me to fork over payment for anything without being 100% certain I am getting the lowest possible price. Even if the difference is 15 cents. This philosophy of mine definitely comes into play when I’m booking hotels for various trips. I have had success with Expedia.com […]
Spicy Molasses Cookies
Today is my love’s birthday! Since we already had a party for him where I made key lime pie and New York cheesecake, I wanted something different to spoil him with today. He’s not a cake fan, so when I saw this recipe under Pioneer Woman’s “favorite” recipes I knew I had found what I […]
Roasted Red Pepper Soup
After watching the pepper roasting technique from Rachael Ray and The Food Network and more, I really wanted to try it myself. Red peppers tend to be a bit too pricey for my taste, but when I saw them on sale 5 for $1 I couldn’t pass it up. I saw a cooking segment on […]
The One with the Red Peppers

Join MckMama and many others as we are brutally honest about our recent antics. I most certainly did not watch Twilight […]
The One with the Salve
What a blessed weekend. I am simply in awe at the work God did right in front of me. Though I wasn’t always in the brightest of moods. Which is lame of me. But it happens. I cannot lie. I had been praying hard for this weekend. I had asked many to pray with me. […]
Sweet Potatoes, Apples & Pork Chops
I needed to throw a dinner together before leaving for church this morning–as we had my family here visiting. I couldn’t just procrastinate and come up with something “easy” like Kevin and I normally do. I wanted to be a good hostess. So I started the bread machine bright and early and then tried to […]
New York Cheesecake
In looking for the perfect cheesecake recipe, I realized choosing one out of the thousands was quite daunting and nearly impossible. This is my first “official” cheesecake and I wanted it to be great. I knew right away I needed to consult one of my favorite recipe bloggers–Annie. I have used many of her recipes […]
Key Lime Pie & Graham Cracker Crust
This has always been one of Kevin’s favorite desserts. Our very first Valentine’s day together, we made dinner and this was our dessert. Though I’m pretty sure the pie was a total flop–it didn’t set right for whatever reason–we still ate it and it still tasted scrumptious. Kevin & his brother’s birthdays are 1 day […]

The One with the Cakes
I may or may not have had a complete breakdown this morning. Well, it was actually afternoon. Since I slept in till 8:45. [Thank you, husband, for nudging me to let my sick body rest.] And then I sat around for…uhh…2 hours. Trying to figure out if I was more or less or as much […]
