Food and Drink

When our television is on, expect to see one of just a few things; Bubble Guppies, Florida Gator Football, Scandal or the Food Network. We may not get much television time thanks to having four kids at home, but these are our favorites and we do love them – clearly I’m talking about the kids […] More

Let’s face it.  Making a steak isn’t particularly hard.  In fact it’s pretty easy.   However, making a great steak?  That’s something else entirely.   Thankfully grill masters all over the country know some secrets that us kitchen dwellers don’t.  They know all the tricks for reaching the sweet spot where the meat is juicy and tender.

My family is not allowed to speak to me until I have consumed at least one cup of coffee, and only then are they to proceed with caution. It requires two full cups before I feel like a fully functioning adult, and until that point they are well aware of the fact that mommy is […] More

Who doesn’t love free food? It’s so much more enjoyable than food you have to pay for, especially when you account for how much it costs to go out anymore. It doesn’t even matter where you dine; it’s expensive these days. For my husband and I to take our four kids to Chick-Fil-A for kids’ […] More

There is nothing so delicious as a hot, greasy pizza at the end of a long, hard day of having fun and being active – or being out in the sun. I’ve noticed that while pizza is not something I love in general, there is nothing I crave more after a long day on the […] More

Baby showers would be more fun if there were fewer mustard-in-a-diaper games and more cocktails, but typically that’s not how things go (except at ours, where we want everyone to have a good time but me). One of the most noticeable aspects, the most stressed over detail and the most memorable addition to almost any […] More

Pickles and ice cream; they make you think of a pregnant women whose husband runs out at 2 am to get these for her because she’s having a craving and he is so terrified she might kill him with her hormonal and crazed new personality  loves her so much. If you look pas that whole […] More

Food Network star, I am not. I’m not even the next Food Network star (or the next, next, next Food Network Star). I’m not really a star of anything that goes along with food other than eating it and pinning really delicious photos of it on Pinterest. In fact, I just fed my kids McDonalds […] More
