Killer Cuban Sliders

February 1, 2017

As you are reading this, I am currently presenting to a group of high school students as an expert on the field of food blogging. Wait. Ok, this posts at 5am CST. If you are reading this then, I am probably laying in bed sweating out of fear. I present at 8:55am. If you read this around that time, say a prayer for me so I don’t pass out in a hot sweaty mess on the floor. Holy schnikes, I have nothing to wear!

If you read this after 9:30am, just know that no matter where I am or how the presentation went, I am still sweating. Always sweating. [Read more…]

The Best Dang Meat Sauce

November 22, 2016

Yes, Thanksgiving is this week. Now, pasta sauce might not be on your radar. So, do me a favor. If you aren’t like my family which requires a pasta side dish at every holiday meal, then just Pin this for later. Oh! Along with the best dang marinara recipe, too. These are both good recipes to have on hand when you have a cold Sunday to kill and feel like warming your home with the smells of garlic and onion simmering away on the stove all day long. Mmmm. So good! [Read more…]

Slow Cooker Apple Cider Pulled Pork

November 8, 2016

Brain fart. Brain freeze. Whatever you call what is happening with my mind this week, I blame it on the time change. And the boys. Yep. People have kids so you always have somebody to blame for why you are so crabby ooorrrr maybe for a funky smell in the room. Hm, wait, Weezer is the one that catches the blame for that most often.

Yeah, so, this week. Ugh!

If ever there was a time for the phrase, “I can’t even.” It is this week. [Read more…]

Big Ass Burrata Stuffed Meatballs

August 30, 2016

Is this title appropriate? Mom, I know you are already saying, “No.” If I offend, I apologize. I just couldn’t think of more appropriate descriptive terminology for these meatballs. Speaking of big ass, I started running. Some of you that know me, probably just dropped dead. Somebody do CPR on my close friends, because I speak the truth. I don’t know if it will last but I am giving it a go. Me telling all of you about it is kind of like me holding myself accountable.

So, give it a week or two and somebody ask me again, if I am still running. [Read more…]

May 2, 2016

Phew. That recipe title is probably my longest to date. Sorry! As you saw from my earlier post, today starts #BrunchWeek 2016. So, a bunch of us bloggers got together and busted our brains and backs coming up with different recipes for you guys. It also happens to be just in time for Mother’s Day, the number one brunching day of the year!

Now that I am a Mom of two, I think I know what I want out of my Mother’s Day. This may be awful to say, but I speak the truth so I am just gunna lay it out there. I kind of just want a day out without my kids. Is that bad? [Read more…]
