"I don't understand why so many 'so called' chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said." I have no idea who said this. I found it online at one of those portals for quotes… Continue reading Dove Dark Chocolate Chocolate Cookies

Bikini Martini
I stumbled upon this drink and thought it was only fitting to share as I will soon be basking on the warm sand of a Hawaiian beach. I am not genetically blessed, or maybe just didn't appropriately apply coconut body lotion while pregnant and as such, I will not be in a bikini - but… Continue reading Bikini Martini
Double Brown Sugar Butter Glazed Banana Bread Scones
Someday I will learn how to manage a bunch of bananas. Meaning, I'll buy just the right amount that are exactly the correct ripeness so as not to have two or three that go brown on me before they're eaten. Until that day comes, I have to figure out new and exciting things to do… Continue reading Double Brown Sugar Butter Glazed Banana Bread Scones
Ultimate Chicken Fingers
This week I had a couple extra chicken breasts defrosted and needed to do something with them. So I decided to give the munchkins a special treat and make chicken fingers for dinner. I don't know what magical property chicken fingers have - but it seems that every kid in the history of the universe… Continue reading Ultimate Chicken Fingers
Banana Fritters with Spiced Glaze
I like to go all out on Saturday mornings. It's really the only day of the week I can do breakfast up right with all the fixins' since Monday thru Friday mornings are a mad dash of bodies, backpacks, missing socks, frantically gulped coffee and hastily applied mascara as I scramble to get my kids… Continue reading Banana Fritters with Spiced Glaze
Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
I was having a serious sugar craving today. Epic proportions. I actually considered heading to the garage to raid the hidden cauldron of leftover Halloween candy. What? You don't keep the leftover unwanted chocolate for a sweet tooth attack? Just in case? No? That's just me? Oh. Well, forget I mentioned it then. Aside from… Continue reading Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

Powerful Pomtini
This is my current absolute favorite drink. I love it. During all the parties of the holidays I made giant batches of it and brought it with me everywhere. It's potent and perfectly pom-licious. I warn you though - I've seen 6' 4" men succumb to the power of these "tinis". They think it's a… Continue reading Powerful Pomtini
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Am I the only one who always always always gains weight between November and January? It's very irritating. You'd think with as many treats as I make all year-long, my body would be accustomed to constantly noshing on goodies. But no. Hello spare tire. Back again? Wonderful. Just in time for 1000 pictures with family… Continue reading Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Cheddar Chili Beer Bread
37° and raining. That's the forecast for the next week or so here in Seattle. Yuck. If it's going to be that cold, it needs to be snowing. Huge pillowy flakes dumping from the sky. Fluffy mounds of white happiness. That's what I'd like. Come on! The current weather conditions called for drastic measures in… Continue reading Cheddar Chili Beer Bread
