Finding Life beyond the struggles
Even though I love spaghetti, and Italian food in general, Lasagna is not a dish I enjoyed while growing up. Crazy, right? Is it any wonder, then, that my first attempt at making Lasagna was...well, not a disaster, but it was a mess. Lasagna Classico from Olive Garden Olive Garden's Tour of Italy is one...

About eight years ago, I would meet up with a friend of mine and her roommate and we would have a food and wine night. We only did this a few times but I had so much fun during those nights that it's stuck. I even tried some foods that I had previously disliked and... Continue Reading →
In honor of today's holiday, whatever you may call it, I thought it would be fun to talk about the delicious Indian Taco. On a day when the lines of division are in the very holiday name, I wanted to share something that I feel brings all kinds of people closer together. I was even... Continue Reading →
I love a good soup. Who doesn't? Did you know that soup has supposedly existed since around 20,000 BC? I honestly did not know that until today. Also, the first cookbook in the U.S. included recipes for soups. So yeah, soup has been around for a long time. When the nights get cold, soup is... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, if you had asked me what food I would choose to eat every day for the rest of my life, I would've said Mashed Potatoes without question. I loved mashed potatoes. Instant.

One of my favorite restaurants is Red Lobster, or "Red Slobbers" as I called it as a child. We go there for my birthday almost every year, and you'll always find me with an Ultimate Feast or a plate of Snow Crab Legs in front of me. I learned from a young age how to... Continue Reading →
Well I did it. I made the deluxe cheezy mac from the Daiya brand to test it out. Even though we've enjoyed the allergen-friendly pizza from Daiya, and have heard rave reviews from personal friends, I still tried not to get my hopes up, just in case. Long story short, this week we bought two... Continue Reading →
Does anyone have a special mug they drink their coffee out of on certain days? I get up with the kids on the weekends to let hubby sleep in and I have one mug that I use at least once. It's a bigger mug so it's perfect for this non-morning person. Though the cup is... Continue Reading →
If you were to ask me if I like cheese, my immediate response would be, "No." But then I'd pull a Tenth Doctor and say, "Welll...." Because I do like cheese. Sometimes. On certain things. To me, cheese belongs on things like: Burgers, Pizza, and, of course, Grilled Cheeses. You will not catch me putting... Continue Reading →
