Cold Asparagus Bacon Salad
It’s Father’s Day! I should be writing about sentimental dad stuff, right? Well, I’m going to go be with my family today and gather up all the love fodder I need to get at you with that tomorrow. Today, I am going to share a salad that KILLS. I’m taking it with me to my…
Tattoos: How to be a trashy female.
I got my first tattoo when I was 18. It was a dumb little thing which has long been covered up. I didn’t really find my love of body art until my oldest son, Cosmo was about two years old. Since then, I have gotten a myriad of pieces and it seems as though I…
Ginger Peach Jam: Not to be confused with the red headed step child.
Peaches are in! It’s this beautiful window of time when you can walk by the display at the grocery and start salivating from the smell. Man… Peaches, like cherries, taste like summer to me. I decided to jazz this recipe up by adding some fresh ginger. The results were a peach perfect combo. You will…

Fat Tuesday: Bacon Bar Part 2 Spiced Candied Bacon
Next is my sassy twist on candied bacon. It is salty, sweet and muy caliente! This candied bacon is totally legit! It is also multi-function! As easy as it is to eat this on it’s own, it can also be used as a topping for other sweet treats. Crumbled atop cookies or cupcakes or as…
The Crime Scene: Cherry Kumquat Jam
I made this jam and jarred it. Just then, I got a call that my hairdresser could fit me in! The angels were singing as I rushed to the salon with ridiculous roots and straw like ends… Upon my return, freshly coifed and blonde again (at least, that’s the color as of late), I enter…
Ouch! Natural Sunburn Relief
Of course the idea, is NOT to get a sunburn. Sometimes, that just doesn’t work out. When you get a little too much sun… or worse, if your kiddos do, having this little jar of relief will make you, (as usual) a superhero. My girlfriend Bathsheba’s brother was visiting from France and they had spent…
Rainbow Salad
I just tried this out on my guinea pigs… errr… girlfriends, last night. It totally killed! I wanted to serve some sort of snack but I wanted to start with items that were already in my pantry instead of hitting the store for every single ingredient. My base ingredients were a can of corn, a…
Lavender Honey Sugar Scrub
This is such a simple recipe and it’s not only good for personal use but makes a great hostess gift! Hell… It’s good for any gift! This scrub has a TON of benefits. The sugar itself is a great exfoliant and will leave your skin looking bright and feeling smooth. The lavender is calming and…
Bentonite Turmeric Facial Mask
I have struggled with my skin for years. I have adult acne that is cystic and painful at times. When I eat properly and drink plenty of water I always see an improvement but it’s never quite “good”. I went to a dermatologist and he gave me some oral meds that helped. I don’t however,…
