Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I haven't made muffins in a couple of weeks, so it was about time I whipped up a batch. I added a few things into these muffins in hopes that they would fill Madeline up. She's been a bottomless pit lately and is constantly hungry. I'm already noticing her pants getting shorter and shorter...hello, growth… Continue reading Cranberry Coconut Oat Muffins
My husband is a huge fan of short ribs and it seems whenever we're out for a fancy dinner, that's what he gets. I treated myself this Christmas and bought a dutch oven. I've been wanting one for a couple months and finally Kohls had a great sale that I couldn't pass up. So far,… Continue reading Braised Short Ribs over Creamy Cheddar Cheese Polenta

These little bars are amazing - a mixture of german chocolate cake and pecan pie all mixed into one dessert. The toasted pecans with the gooey coconut mixture was perfect and then combined with a layer of chocolate and chocolate crust. YUM! They are very rich bars, so a small piece is all you need...plus that… Continue reading German Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Ours was good but Cooper has been sick. We made a trip to urgent care on Christmas. He's still fightig whatever he has and it's breaking my heart that I'm not able to comfort him. Once he's healthy, I'll be back to posting new recipes. I have some… Continue reading Happy Holidays!
It's holiday party season and I'm always looking for a new recipe to bring to a party. While this dip isn't kissing friendly, it's really good. 🙂 I love the combination of garlic and feta and the little hint of dill. It's super simple to make and pairs great with crackers or veggies. I'm also… Continue reading Garlic Feta Dip – A Virtual Christmas Party
I've been wanting to make some sort of glazed nut recipe for months now. My friend Meg was making glazed nuts the other day and said she thought of me while making them. After she was disappointed in her recipe, I decided to look around and see what type of glazed nut recipes I could find.… Continue reading Rum-Glazed Roasted Pecans
