Cactus Club Flatbread Copycat Recipe

January 14, 2016 by Anna 13 Comments

Cactus Club Flatbread Copycat Recipe

I finally bought myself a couple new cutting boards, and it’s life changing. My sister and I were discussing how many things we consider life changing the other day, and I must admit, for me, the number is not small. There are just so many little things that make life simpler, more relaxed, cleaner, quieter, […]

Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip

Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Dip

I don’t have enough appies in my life.  This must mean I don’t have enough parties in my life, because parties are half about company and three-quarters about appies. Appy math. It’s official stuff. In the interest of having more appies in my regular non-partying schedule, I need some easy recipes up my sleeve that don’t […]

Pizza Fondue

Pizza Fondue

Fonduuuuuue. I absolutely love dunking delicious things in other delicious things.  I’ve never been a fan of oil fondues because cooking little bits of everything in oil doesn’t really whet my appetite, and also, hot oil = danger, but chocolate fondue, cheese fondue, and pizza fondue?  Hand me a bib and everything dunkable you got. […]

Cream Cheese & Pepper Jelly Puff Pastries

I don’t talk about appetizers enough with you guys. You see, I really love appetizers, and I really love you for being here.  I really love to serve appetizers to people whose company I enjoy. So, I should basically be serving you virtual appetizers every time we talk. But then I’d be a one trick pony […]

Mother’s Day Party Plan {Cookbook Review}

May 8, 2013 by Anna 1 Comment

Mother’s Day Party Plan {Cookbook Review}

So this is something new to me – the triple slow cooker!  When I received the book “Triple Slow Cooker Entertaining” for review, I thought triple slow cooker party planning just meant I was borrowing slow cookers from my mother-in-law and sister.  I had no idea they actually made single slow cookers with three crockpots! […]

Caramelized Bacon

Caramelized Bacon

I am aware that what I am showing you today looks a lot like the dog’s breakfast.  However, I can assure you with reasonable (if untested) certainty that caramelized bacon tastes absolutely nothing like the dog’s breakfast.  Although, if you gave this to your dog for breakfast, I imagine you would be slathered in adoring […]

Bacon-Wrapped Mini Sausages

December 12, 2012 by Anna 15 Comments

Bacon-Wrapped Mini Sausages

So I’m a person who gets things done in the evening. Apparently newborns also have this trait. I knew this going in, but it still throws me off sometimes.  Like when I plan to do homework in the evening in my usual write-5-pages-in-two-hours-the-night-before-it’s-due fashion that used to raise my parents’ cortisol levels.  Or when I […]

On a Sausage Roll

Since Anna and I are now far away from each other, and our coordination is not always what it should be, this just so happens to be a day when we both post. Considering this is only the first day I am away, this may not bode well for future organization but it is great […]
