To preface this post, I want to say that as a budding 24-year-old cook and entertainer, I am by no means an expert in party planning. I've had plenty of disasters in the kitchen and at the dinner tableΒ along my quest to become a domestic goddess. And many of you have years more experience than me, so I thank you for the examples you have set. That being said, here are a few helpful tips ... View Post
snickerdoodles.
Shut the front door. These cookies are SO good. So good that my mom made like a BAZILLION of them for the guests at our wedding. During the week of the wedding, we had started to have less and less to give as gifts to our guests because my brothers and family friends kept stealing bags of them from the freezers. Yes, freezers, plural. Confession: we had to invest in a new ... View Post
Curried Cauliflower Soup
Soooooup. It is so easy and simple to prep the ingredients for this warm, comforting soup.

Barbecue Pulled Pork
I'm pretty sure this barbeque pulled pork marks the best thing I have ever made in a crockpot. Or maybe the best thing I have ever made, period? Thank you Paula Deen, thank you. Mr. Peaches was SO sad about the Packers' loss on Sunday (though not quite as sad as this girl). Thankfully, this barbeque pulled pork lifted his spirits! I have been completely obsessing over it for ... View Post
Fresh Veggie Coleslaw
Growing up, whenever I saw coleslaw on a restaurant menu or a buffet spread, I typically associated it with being flat-out gross, ho-hum and bland, or too fatty. I’ve always pretty much avoided eating or making it, until now – now that I have a food processor (and not to mention, now that I discovered Miracle Whip!). My food processor is like my second husband. I looooove ... View Post
