Sweet Potato Casserole
Thanksgiving is over, the dishes are done, and even the leftovers are gone. This year I did something a little adventurous (or maybe crazy or even brave) and, with the exception of the turkey and my mother-in-law’s dressing, I made our entire Thanksgiving meal from Pinterest recipes. This is the first of the Thanksgiving Pintesting…

Pintesting the Best of Italy with Pizza
October is NATIONAL PIZZA MONTH! Did you know this? I didn’t until the month was nearly over. I’ve wanted to do a pizza recipe post for quite some time but with so many unique kinds of pizza, I wasn’t sure which would be the best one to start with. There’s the Neapolitan style Margherita, the…

7-Layer Greek Dip
Going to the movies is fun, but there are some downsides to seeing a film at the theater. I don’t like the overpriced snacks. I like real butter on my popcorn rather than that bright yellow butter-flavored oil. No wine. The theater folks frown upon patrons coming in their pajamas and slippers. Oh, and they won’t…

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup
I’m one of those who can’t wait for the first PSL (that’s Pumpkin Spice Latte) of the season and I make a point to get it on the first day available. Even though it still feels like 100 degrees in Florida, there’s something about that taste that officially makes it feel like autumn. Going to Starbucks…

BLT Lettuce Wraps (No-Carb BLT)
Sometimes I get things that look amazing as an impulse purchase. Some people might be tempted by a cute pair of shoes, a new outfit, or the latest tech gadget. More often than not, my impulse buys are food related. I see a recipe that sounds good and I’m off to the store, and that’s what…

Tuscan Lentil Soup
There is something very comforting about soup; it seems to nourish your soul as it feeds your body. You’ve never heard of a book series called, “Chicken Casserole for the Soul.” Don’t get me wrong, I love casseroles, but there’s just something about soup. Tuscan Lentil Soup. Most soups fall into one of two categories:…

One Pan Mexican Quinoa
There seems to be a new obsession with short food videos on social media, especially Facebook. Videos made by Tasty, Buzzfeed, and Tip Hero are bringing food porn to a whole new level. We like and share them thinking, “What a great idea. I need to try this,” but rarely follow through and make it.…

Pintesting Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake
This is the post that wasn’t going to be and then wrote itself. I made the cake and took some pictures, but didn’t really intend on doing a proper Pintesting – until I shared the pics. The response was mind blowing, so here’s the post complete with my first recipe. The Pintesting: It started with this…

Christmas Lights Manicure
I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas! Since the day after Thanksgiving, my Handsome Husband and I have been busy decorating our home; even the laundry room has a wreath. Trees, garland, wreaths, stockings, snowmen, Santas, and the Nativity set are all in their proper places making nearly every room in the house festive. I’ve even…

TIP: How to Make Your Grill Nonstick
Sometimes it seems like living in Florida is living in “Opposite World” because when the rest of the country (aka Up North) is outside enjoying the summer, Floridians are staying cool inside in the AC. On the other hand, when my friends are posting their pictures of the snow, ice, freezing rain, slush, and the…
