For this year’s Thanksgiving dinner(s), I made 2 desserts. I couldn’t make up my mind which dessert to bring to which dinner, so I brought half of each dessert to both dinners. I wasn’t the only person bringing desserts, so I didn’t worry too much about the smaller quantities.

How many of you plan your menus around what’s on sale at the grocery store each week? I’ve been planning my menus (a week at a time) for a long time, and I’m back to reviewing the sale ads and clipping coupons after a long baby-induced hiatus. I’m fed up with spending $200 a week [...]

I hate to post again with no picture, but this recipe is too delicious NOT to share with you. A friend and I first discovered this recipe a few years ago when we decided to make a big elaborate meal for our significant others for Valentine’s Day. Since then, I’ve made this recipe for several [...]
