It’s officially BBQ season…and I’ve got an incredible recipe to share that is not only tasty, but revolutionary in its brilliance. Kidding. A little. I was given a challenge recently to develop a BBQ recipe using pork, veggies, and Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil for a post I wrote on Epicurious. (Yes, I was compensated for […]
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is finally coming to theaters on June 13! To get ready for and celebrate the release, I’ve got printable Connect the Dots and Coloring Pages, the first 5 minutes of the movie (eek!) and an awesome How to Train Your Dragon 2 Giveaway! Although I will receive the same […]
I was invited on an expense-paid press trip with Walt Disney Studios/ABC TV last month in exchange for sharing all that we learned and experienced. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ABC’s summer-time drama, Mistresses, is back with last week’s season 2 premiere and tonight’s follow-up with episode 2, Boundaries! Although Mistresses is […]
There was once a fancy cookie that I only saw at special get-togethers and celebrations. I did not know the name of this cookie, but I recognized the shape and the unique flavor/texture combination that was somewhere in between cookie and cupcake. One day I was walking through the kitchen aisle at my favorite […]
This Quiche Lorraine recipe is inspired by DreamWorks Pictures’ upcoming movie The Hundred-Foot Journey (this is not the first time I’ve shared a #100FootJourney recipe (you’ve got to check out the Tandoori chicken I posted, too). They all just look SO good! This recipe is provided by Disney/DreamWorks Pictures, but opinions are all my […]
I love smoothies. Love them. So when the 15 Minute Suppers bloggers decided to do a beverages-themed recipe week, I knew I needed to make a smoothie recipe. I decided to try for something out of the ordinary rather than my typical mixed berries, OJ, and yogurt in the blender. Not that there’s anything […]
It’s sad that I would be proud of myself after a week of taking pictures every day. That’s what a 30 day photo challenge will do for me, I guess. I’ve been having a blast with my new camera. Here’s just a peek at what my camera captured this week: Apparently AJ is in […]
I’m working with Tilex® on a paid basis, but my opinions are my own. I don’t remember ever having a problem with mold and mildew when I was growing up in California. I’m sure my memory is incorrect, though I DID clean my fair share of bathtubs and showers for my weekly chores. That’s what […]
When I’m in department store, I always gravitate toward the handbag section. I love purses and would have a bigger collection of them if I could. So when Miche bags contacted me about reviewing one of their handbags, I couldn’t turn them down. Although I received product to review, no additional compensation was received […]
It’s hard to believe that it has been 5 years since How to Train Your Dragon. HTTYD was one of those movies that really resonated with my oldest son, who was about 8 at the time that the movie came out. He couldn’t get enough of it…and at 13 he still considers it one […]
