I finally caved in and made Cake Pops! They’re pretty popular these days, so I don’t know what took me so long. A friend of mine asked me if I’d make some cake pops for a baby shower at her office. I’m always up…
It’s no secret how much I love Tavern. It’s quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. It’s got a fun atmosphere, plenty of TVs, big bar area, two nice patios, and the food is excellent. Read my first post on Tavern, and…
A little over a week ago, in an effort to encourage my readers to get chatty on my Facebook page, I promised to make a football sweet treat. Tomorrow is the big day when college football starts and I’m more than ready. Life without…
If you’ve never had a Bushwacker, boy you are missing out. It’s an alcoholic drink and it tastes like heaven. Picture a milkshake all boozed up. There’s nothing like sitting on a patio with friends sipping on one (or two) Bushwackers without a care…
I think it’s safe to say I’ve been eating a lot of ugly food lately. These Ground Beef Reuben Melts are no exception. Yeah, I probably could’ve strategically placed a few pickles on the plate and maybe a scoop of potato salad or got…
I promise I’m not giving up on cooking and resorting to serving slop. This has to be the most unflattering food for photographing. My feeble attempt at jazzing it up with a sprig of parsley didn’t add much, but a small pop of color.…
The simplicity of this Citrus Shrimp & Rice is what drew me into giving it a try. Shrimp is incredibly easy and fast to cook and pairs so well with a variety of flavors. You can make it sweet, hot, savory, you name it.…
I have an insatiable sweet tooth and I’m one of those people that feels a meal isn’t quite complete unless a little dessert follows…whether there’s room in my belly or not. There’s a great line in the move Simply Irresistible by Sarah Michelle Gellar’s…
This is the first year that I grew mint in my backyard, ok make that deck since I technically don’t have a yard. I think it’s the coolest thing to walk outside and snip fresh herbs whenever you need them. Call me easily amused,…
I’ve had my eye on tackling Monogrammed Sugar Cookies for a while, I just needed an occasion. Yeah, I could’ve done a bunch of “L’s” for Leah or “S’s” for the blog, but that’s not as much fun as surprising someone with a batch…
This Roast Beef Sandwich with Horseradish Slaw has rekindled my love for sandwiches. Not that it ever really went away, but I can get stuck in a rut with sandwiches and there are only so many plain ham and cheeses a girl can eat.…
I love salads, but I must admit when I make them, they’re just a hodge-podge of whatever’s in my fridge. They’re good, but I can’t ever come up with that magical combination of ingredients to make a really really good one. Enter Turkey Pear…
