Save Your “Dough” Artisan Bread
It’s cold. It’s winter. I want bread. Hot homemade bread. There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to bake and wear slippers and drink cocoa.

Things Are About To Get “Dirty”
I LOVE Diet Coke. I know it’s not good for me. I know I shouldn’t drink it in place of my 8 glasses of water a day (ha ha). I know all that, but I LOVE Diet Coke. I love it with Mexican food, salad, pizza or at the movies. I’m pathetic. To make matters worse, my friend introduced me […]
Well Isn’t That Just Peachy? Why Yes,Yes It Is!
I love fresh peach pie. I LOVE fresh peach pie, and so does my family. If I say the word, “peach pie” into the phone, the next sound I hear will be car tires screeching into my drive way. Peaches are at their best now, and this recipe will bring you to your knees. I’ve had my […]
