Adopt a Blogger #3 – Welcome to the Family(and a Camera Giveaway!)
I am in proud mama mode this morning. We have 114 bloggers participating in Adopt a Blogger #3… this is our biggest Adopt a Blogger yet! You all are an amazingly talented group of people. I have enjoyed reading through your blogs this past week and trying to make compatible matches. I hope I succeeded…
A Bit of History (Recipe: Grandmother’s Lemon Pound Cake)
I was watching this You Tube video the other day of comedian Louis CK on the Conan O’Brien show. Let me start by telling you, it takes a lot for something on TV to make me laugh out loud. This clip did just that. If you haven’t seen it, take a few minutes to watch…
The Fall of a Brownie Purist (Recipe: Black & White Cheesecake Squares)
When I started my first blog over three years ago, I really struggled with which category of blogger I fell into. Was I a food blogger or a mommy blogger? I love cooking, baking and writing about food but I also couldn’t deny the fact that I am a mom and being a mom makes…

Dinner Club #2 Rustic Italian (Recipe: Chicken Spinach Manicotti)
We had our second Dinner Club on Saturday and I thought it was another big success. The food that was shared was fantastic, the friendship was great and the conversation was the best! I love this eclectic group of people… there is never a dull moment. Dinner Club came and went and I was so…
Hugs for Comfort (Recipe: Broccoli and Chicken Noodle Soup)
I know I have mentioned this before, but my seven year old is a great kid. He is extremely well behaved at school, he is a nice friend, and he has such a kind heart. There is one thing about Jacob that does not fit his normal personality, and that is that once every 1…
Mama Is In Denial (Recipe: Tex Mex Calzones)
Holy cow – I am having a baby in less than 7 weeks! I took these Calzones to a friend of mine this evening who recently had a baby, and while I was there it hit me… I’m pregnant and I am going to have another kid in the house before I know it. Of…
What is Comfort? (Recipe: Tuna Noodle Casserole)
As social as I like to be, there is one day a week that I look forward to than any other day. That day is Tuesday and the reason is that I have an open calendar on Tuesdays. I don’t have to take the kids to school, we have no extra curricular activities, and I…
