My friend gave me a knife set for my birthday a few years back. One knife that I never used was the chef’s knife because it was so big that I just knew I would cut my finger off. Besides, I wasn’t exactly sure how to use it. So for years I would just use [...]
There is a salad I want to make this week. It calls for cherry tomatoes but the store only had grape tomatoes. They had a sign for cherry tomatoes but only grape tomatoes were there.
I’m not a tomato expert, so I wasn’t sure what the difference between a grape and cherry tomato. A quick [...]
It has been raining for the past four days. We usually have problems with ants. Those suckers are always in the yard, on the porch, and make it into the house - usually in the bathroom. It is just so frustrating.

Sunday is Mother’s Day. I have to admit that I’m still a Momma’s girl. I love my Mom dearly and every time someone says that I look just like her, I take it as a huge compliment.
My Mom and I not only look alike, but we also have a lot of the same mannerisms. My [...]
The Food Network has to be the best network channel ever. I can watch it all day long. Ace of Cakes is a favorite show followed by Throwdown with Bobby Flay. I heart that man. I’d love to eat anything he cooked even if it was some food I hated. I’m sure if Bobby cooked [...]
