I have a confession to make. And I hope you still like me and want to be my friend after you hear it. Ready? I don't really like cake all that much. Gasp!

Things like, "Hey guys, we're not going to pretend to be cheetahs while we're at church, OK?" And then there are those times when you're having a simple conversation with your child, innocently answering … [Read more...]

Starting softly, getting a little louder and then … [Read more...]
Shhhh...don't tell my husband, but I have a new love in my life. It showed up on my doorstep recently, and the good looks and sleek sophistication drew me in from the moment I unwrapped it. In fact I might have even given the Staples delivery truck driver a little squeal and a hug, but alas it wasn't him I was excited to see...it was … [Read more...]
I became known far and wide for my Black Bean and Corn Salsa recipe. From Missouri to Seattle to Kentucky I had carted this special recipe to each new home and served it with pride. Pride because I KNEW whenever I made it, my salsa would be consumed in about 5 seconds flat. no lie. They would start out dipping a chip into my salsa full of … [Read more...]
Okay so maybe not actually upside down, but I definitely turned the classic pineapple upside down cake on it’s proverbial head.

There's nothing more scary for a car owner. You're traveling down the road and you hear an ambiguous noise. You know the one. The noise that happens intermittently as your driving blissfully along, the one that strikes fear in your heart and then you don't hear it for days. And just as your lulled into a sense of complacency, … [Read more...]
