A Working Mom's Guide to Food, Family & Fun
Hola, Amigos! It’s that glorious day of the year where we get to celebrate all things Mexican ALL DAY!! That’s right….ALL DAY! Now, the thing about Cinco de Mayo is Seis de Mayo, which is unofficially known as National Recovery Day on which you will be slightly remorseful for your overindulgent fiesta, but for today [...]
Since we are almost to the most glorious time of year when fresh, delicious produce is in abundance, I will share one last winter squash recipe. Of course, no where does it say that you can’t make this any time of year, because it is pretty darn tasty and even better that it’s light and [...]
I shared these Baked Polenta Triangles last week on the blog What’s Cooking with Ruthie, where I will be a monthly contributor on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. I made these for a recent open house that was being held at 2 in the afternoon. I always find that any party or special occasion [...]
If you live in Clarksville, Tennessee, you know there is one place and one place only to get the very best beer cheese dip and that is the Blackhorse Pub. I have tried numerous times to recreate their delicious dip at home and have not even come close. Every time we eat there we get [...]

I have never been a big fan of [...]
I love New Year’s Eve, I really do……BUT I kinda feel like it is a bit overrated and we tend to set kind of unrealistic expectations as to how wonderful the night should be. Don’t get me wrong, though, I love the idea of spending the evening with great friends and kissing the one you love [...]
I love getting mail this time of year! I set aside my usual hopes of getting that letter from Ed McMahon that we have won the Sweepstakes that will pay all the bills that seem to come instead and revel in all the precious Christmas cards that we receive. But before our mailbox gets flooded [...]
There are a few things in this world that no matter the diet nor time of day nor time of year that I simply CAN NOT resist. And here they are: pizza, rotel dip, hashbrown casserole and my all-time favorite sausage cheese balls. I rememeber being at Christmas party when I was kid and strategically [...]
