Holy crap, can you believe this heat? Here in the Pacific North West we are having one of the hottest heat waves in years. I guess this is the other half of the balancing act of the earth since we got snowed in with over two feet of snow this past winter. I just hope… Read more
Mixed Berry Ice Cream
Whenever I think of ice cream lately, I want to run around the house singing a la Eddie Murphy’s Delirious. Especially since I have been on a ice cream kick lately, I’ve had that in my head. The last batch I’ve made was my Mixed Berry. I like to use frozen berries because they have… Read more
Bacon Dog Cookies
I think my dog is bored with the same old treats every day. Who wouldn’t be bored eating the same things? In actuality I think I just got bored and wanted to try something different. So what might dogs like? Bacon! I have a few other flavors planned such as blueberry, banana, cheese, and something… Read more
Men And Bacon
I truly believe that there only a few things that men need in life. Women. Beer. And bacon. And I’m really not quite sure about the order of that list either. Especially since I asked him if all he needs are boobs, beer and bacon. His answer was “You’re all I’ll ever need” and then… Read more
Chili Lime Marinade

I’ve been stressing out severely about getting my blood drawn for the first time in 8 years. Now to normal… Read more
Party Time
I love my friends. They do things like throw birthday parties for their dogs. And then ask me if I would make the food. This makes me incredibly excited. I’ve never actually done food for a party. The most I’ve done for a party is make salad. And not even a fun salad. Bagged salad… Read more
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Ah summer. I loathe the heat of summer. Why can’t it just be WARM and not BOILING outside? My poor fair skin needs to hide from the sun and avoid it unless wearing a strong SPF. But the heat is also the BEST time to make the ice cream. Home made ice cream. Minty fresh… Read more
Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes
Thats right. Dark chocolate salted caramel cupcakes. Have you ever heard of anything that just makes your insides just start dancing, anticipating the sugar high that is about to ensue? This causes it.
Its That Time Again…
Its hotter than hell outside. Summer has definitely made her appearance this year and I just wasn’t ready for it. I’m not ready to take my pale skin outside into the scorching heat and risking a sunburn or heat stroke. I’m being over dramatic about the heat stroke, but not about the sunburns. My skin… Read more
