First off, happy Friday the 13th! ;)  Do I have any superstitious blends out there?  I must say that I am not much for superstitions, so to me it is just another day.  Well, maybe it is not just another day.  It is Friday, after all, and Fridays make me oh so happy! Food makes me [...]

Today's day of eats is brought to you by the day after Thanksgiving!  I ate seriously good food on Thanksgiving, and I let the good food keep on rolling right into Friday (with slightly smaller portion sizes, though ;)).  Let's take a look see at What I Ate Wednesday Friday (yes, I am getting really bad about just choosing [...]

I baked up my very first vegan pumpkin pie on Wednesday evening for this past Thursday's Thanksgiving Day feast.  I liked the results so much that I managed to eat almost half of the pie.  I shared a few slices with my dad (he commented on how much it tasted like the real deal!), but [...]

My Cooking Christmas List Just a few years ago, my Christmas list would have looked something like this: 1. Clothing 2. Shoes 3. Makeup 4. Gift cards to clothing stores But starting last year, my Christmas wishes changed in a big way.  Last Christmas, about ninety percent of the gifts that I received were food [...]
