Twinkle Twinkle Table Scape

Independence Day is such a fun celebration. I mean, seriously… When do we get to punctuate a day of barbecue, beverages and the general joy of gathering with our people, with freaking explosives!?!?

Red, White and Blue Cobblerettes

You’ve probably heard of “Dump Cake” or “Cake Mix Cobbler”. It’s where you take dry cake mix, canned pie filling and butter and turn it into a delicious cobbler-esque dessert. I wanted to do a spin on this, one that would be fun to make, easy to take and is a good way to use…

Roasted Corn Crostini With Whipped Feta

I’ve been hearing about “whipped feta” for awhile now. I wanted to do something kind of different from the uses I’ve been seeing. I wasn’t quite sure what direction I would go, when my girlfriend dropped by. She had cleaned out her fridge a bit because her son was heading out to summer break with…

When my girlfriend suggested that I do an “Ask The Swearing Mom” segment on my page, I first thought “How presumptuous it would be of me to think anyone would want my advice!” my next thought was that it might be fun! I expected to get questions about a good barbecue sauce or a fun…

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…

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…
