I'm not a traditional sap when it comes to Valentine's Day. I'm not a red rose kind-of-gal, I don't understand adults receiving stuffed animals as gifts, and I can never seem to get past the first bite in a box of chocolates. Please don't think I'm a Valentine's Scrooge. I'm not...I promise. Hey, I was beyond giddy last year, when Ryan surprised me with a five-course meal at a French restaurant. At the same time, I'm not a gal that's incredibly disappointed just relaxing at home on Valentine's ... VIEW POST

Not Yo Mamma’s Meatloaf Muffins
For some people, the word meatloaf conjures up unappetizing memories. I must say I ate my fair share of nasty meatloaf as a kid. Despite the name of the post, my mom made a pretty good meatloaf, but somehow I was forced to eat greasier versions at other houses with unidentified crunchy chunks. Now that I have you reliving all of those terrible meatloaf experiences, I wanna introduce this recipe. My mom found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine and I fell in love. It's delicious! The ...

Root Beer for Grown Ups
About a month ago, Ryan and I were walking through the liquor store, when I spotted this old-timey bottle. I was intrigued. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a root beer liqueur, named after an old man: the Blackmaker. The bottle's tag tells the tale of a grumpy gentleman, who spent his time in the mountains, collecting herbs and making concoctions. He sold his mixtures to the town store, including this liqueur. I can't resist booze with a kooky story. ... VIEW POST
Parmesan Coated Goat Cheese with Basil Oil
What it is that makes folks shy away from goat cheese? Maybe it's the word goat that's not so appetizing. It's probably the funky smell. But if you that love feta, you've learned to move past that punch in the nose. My love affair with goat cheese began while living in France in college. At parties, they would set out small bites of goat cheese with fresh herbs sprinkled on top. Creamy, tangy, and so freaking good. Now for this little beauty... I came across this recipe and couldn't ... VIEW POST
Felt Ruffly Rosette Wreath
Ever since I made the felt dress up dolls, I have been so excited about felt! I hadn't used felt since I was a kid, but lately I've been searching for more adult ways to use it. Enter this ruffly rosette wreath that I made for my sister's house. I came across the tutorial for the rosette wreath at Domestifluff awhile ago and had been wanting to try it. I also wanted to decorate my sister's house for Christmas since my little nephew had just been born and she was a little busy with the whole ... VIEW POST
Baby Shower Game : Candy Bar Clues
When I started planning my little sister's baby shower, I really wanted to stay away from the typical (completely gross) baby shower games i.e. sniff the melted chocolate in the diaper, blindfolded baby food taste test and sucking anything out of a bottle. I came across this candy bar game. At least with my crew of friends, candy bars are beloved. To start with, I laid out all of the candy bars on the floor so that everyone could see them. I had a list of clues to describe each stage of ... VIEW POST
