I recently started dabbling in wine. I've always been more of a vodka girl personally, but it just seems so socially grown up to drink a glass of wine at a party. Who says peer pressure stays in high school? A while back I managed to finish my first glass, but it was Moscato so… Continue reading Barbeque Turkey Sliders
Country Blueberry Monkey Bread
Monkey bread is the devil. I cannot resist it. I especially enjoy a new spin on it, like adding some kind of new flavor to the delicious combo of cinnamon sugar and buttery goodness. I can more readily call it breakfast if it includes fruit which makes this blueberry filled bread perfect for supporting my… Continue reading Country Blueberry Monkey Bread
Chicken Piccata
Chicken piccata always ends up being my second choice when it is on the menu at a restaurant. I have good intentions, but just never end up ordering it. Something about capers I think. They are one of those foods that I feel like I'm supposed to like, but have never really fully joined the… Continue reading Chicken Piccata
Long Island Iced Tea
I've never really understood the concept of not mixing your liquor. I hear it all the time. It goes something like this. "Oh, I can't have a Cosmo because I've been drinking Mai Tais all night. I don't want to mix my drinks." Tangent...I just realized my cosmopolitan recipe isn't posted on this blog. Horrors!… Continue reading Long Island Iced Tea
Oreo Mint Ice Cream Pie
As I wandered the aisles of the grocery store the other day I was struck with the realization that I find great pleasure in having enough random stuff in my cart that the cashier wonders if I may have multiple personalities. Joy is found in the little things in life people. Confusing salespeople is one… Continue reading Oreo Mint Ice Cream Pie

Lazy Heath Bars
I've been cleaning my house like a crazy person for two days. If you know me, you know this is NOT normal behavior. Usually I'm perfectly content for my house not to resemble a museum or some kind of scientific lab. I prefer to spend my time on the floor doing puzzles or coloring rather… Continue reading Lazy Heath Bars
Chicken Tamale Bake
My husband loves tamales. My mother-in-law Anna makes them in huge batches and brings them up when she visits. It's a whole involved process that she tried to teach me once (long ago when I was first married), but the thought of authentic cooking was a total brain overload for me back then. I found… Continue reading Chicken Tamale Bake
Bakerlady’s Best of Blueberries
I started thinking about blueberries after my 6th friend posted on Facebook that they were blueberry picking. No joke. Who knew that all the cool kids go blueberry picking in August? Actually, come to think of it, a few weeks ago when my sister watched my munchkins, she took them out to harvest some blueberries… Continue reading Bakerlady’s Best of Blueberries
Glazed Caramel Apple Bread
This recipe comes to you courtesy of Crisco. Funny story. Last week I was enjoying the cooling evening breeze wafting thru my open window with a beverage in my hand and my love by my side when I heard frantic calls of "Tonya! Tonya!" coming from over the fence. My adorable neighbor (and her daughter)… Continue reading Glazed Caramel Apple Bread
