Slow Cooker Team-Themed Bread Rolls. Tailgate in Style.

On January 6, 2013 By

Playoff season is here. The only thing that excites me slightly more than my team making it to the post-season is the food that accompanies it.

 

It just so happens that Crock-Pot® came out with a new line of slow cookers. This theme is particularly appropriate:

I’m thankful for 50 degree weather this fall. I am thankful for beer, football & baseball, high heels,  happy hour, summer, and steak.

 

For Big Bird not losing his job this year. That reminds me, I am thankful the elections and cray cray political Facebook posts coming [...]

Passover S’mores. With Kosher Marshmallows. Easter Is so Jealous Right Now.

On April 6, 2012 By

There are a plethora of festive Easter recipes out there. Too many, in fact.

As I grew up celebrating both sides [...]

On February 23, 2012 By

Technically, in addition to being Irish, Guinness is also part African. Or part Canadian. Supposedly it is also brewed in Australia as well. Whatever.

 

 

 

Guinness will forever be the most  clichéd association with Saint Patrick’s day. It will therefore also become an increasingly [...]
