It goes great with tortilla chips, cinnamon chips or as a topping for chicken, fish, and more. Served with tortilla chips this is a perfect snack- little sweet, little […]

Today’s recipe goes right along with this year’s National **Un-Official** Chip Dip theme – Guacamole! Now, I’m not going to lie, until this year I have never been a fan of the stuff. I guess somewhere along the way I had some at a restaurant where they didn’t know what they were doing and decided I wasn’t a fan. Sadly, […]

Apparently there is a food (or several) recognized nationally for just about every single month, week and day of the year. Crazy right?!

This is the bark that started it all! Well, my love for barks at least. 😉 I call it Christmas Bark because I found it at Christmas time and I usually make it at Christmas. It also has the red from the cranberries and green from the pistachios so it seemed fitting and easier to say than Cranberry, Pistachio, Dark […]

The first time I ever had asparagus was at a Thanksgiving meal with friends several years ago. How I managed to avoid it for so many years before that is still a mystery. Also a mystery is why I just assumed my first bite would be the last. I can’t believe I missed out on it for so many years!! […]
