My Saturday Afternoon Bliss...

Today, to kick off Lisa's vacation, I booted her to the curb. As in...to the sofa. With our furry kids. To relax. Exhale. Yes, I had to raise my voice and put my hands on my hips for her to comply, but eventually she did.

The Possibilities Are Endless With Our New Cuisinart Electric Meat Grinder

Earlier this month, we purchased a Cuisinart Meat Grinder for several reasons. We spent a little more than we wanted to, but we scored a fantastic deal. And, the reviews were great. You can read all about that here. Less than a week after we ordered the meat grinder, it was delivered. We've used it quite a bit since. This afternoon I needed to cook some chicken for our kid's meals and make more Bodacious Magic Meatballs. It was the perfect opportunity to take photos of the process from start to finish.

Happy Valentine's Day From Our Home To Yours!

Today is Valentine's Day.

I Created Another Homemade Dog Treat! Here Is The Recipe!

Last week, I created a new homemade dog treat recipe. It was the day before we went grocery shopping. That made it the perfect day to Spring Clean the kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. I had a container of Greek Yogurt that I needed to use up and a few carrots in the produce drawer. My inspiration behind this treat was using those pup friendly odds and ends ingredients to create a scrumptious treat.

I Knew This Week Was Coming...

I have prepared myself for this week. For a bit now. I know saying that is right up there with Vague-Booking It, but...there are some things better left unsaid. Details that are better left not mentioned. For so many reasons. And it goes well beyond sharing the messy stuff.

My Food Porn Photo Hiatus Has Ended

Last month I received a message from an acquaintance of mine. Short. Sweet. Simple. They asked why I haven't been posting a lot of "food porn" photos as of late. I used to. At least a dozen a week. Now, some weeks go by without a photo of something I've cooked or my sweet confections. I replied back. In the weeks to follow, I made an effort to post more "food porn" photos.
