Culinary Snapshot (Recipe – Shrimp Linguine with Lemon Basil Sauce)
The picture above is of one of my very first food photos from back in 2004 when I started this crazy hobby of food photography. At that point in time, I had a lot to learn, and I still do. I spent time on the Recipezaar.com food photography forum, trying to learn the tips and…
Who Are You? (Recipe: Honey Mustard Vinaigrette)
My husband, Nick, and I have been married for almost ten years. For the most part, I think that we know each other pretty darn well. In fact, I would almost bet that if we took one of those Newlywed Game type of quizzes now, we would get just about every question right. Nick is…
Freedom to Eat (Recipe: Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake)
We left our three oldest kids with Grandma & Grandpa yesterday. For the first time, they will be spending a week away from home. We’ve left them in the past to go on vacations, so they have been without mom and dad before, but never away from home. After day one, I miss them a…

Boredom (Recipe: Southwest Black Bean and Corn Dip)
Boredom… one of the many things that kids complain about during the summer months. When I was growing up, I said the words “Mom, this is boring” so often that my mom threatened to ground me for life if I said it again. Being the clever kid I was, I got out the Thesaurus and…
Keeping it Sunny (Recipe: Blueberry Sunrise Muffins)
Would you like to know what happened to me while I was at church yesterday? I was sitting in mass when my 3 year old told me she needed to go potty. I took her back to the ladies restroom, she did her thing, I bent down to help her pull up her panties and…
Lazy Days (Recipe: Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla)
This Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla recipe is a simple breakfast for those mornings on the go! I am typically an early riser. Not necessarily because I want to be but because I have been forced to be by a husband who chooses to go to work at 5:30am and kiddos who somehow inherited some insane…
