Everyone asks me what camera to purchase to be an amazing photographer and here's a little secret, I don't think that buying a fancy camera makes or breaks you as a photographer. I think sitting down and funding in yourself, taking time, and building knowledge are what makes you better. But for those of you...
This is a hearty steak salad for carnivores who need a little extra green in their diet. With all the flavors and juices from the steak, I didn't use any dressing, but feel free to pair this with a light vinaigrette if desired. Things are picking up as spring is looming in the distance while cold...

Weeknight dinners are rough. Especially in December when the whole world seems to be spinning a wee bit faster. I get home and it's dark, I've worked all day and I am dog tired. And heck, I don't even have kids I have to worry about! But I take no excuses in the Pass the...
There is something magic about those pop and bake refrigerated cans of dough. Pure freakin magic. They come out perfect every time, unless you are one of those people who always burns them (I've known a few). They are tall, flaky, and buttery - even before you slather them with more butter or jam. I am not above...
You know that old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say..."? Well I guess that doesn't apply to the internet. Something about the perceived anonymity gives peoples brass enhancements and lures them into saying things they would never say in person. Something about the web makes people brazen and a wee bit ridiculous. I see a...
Homemade English muffins will become your new favorite breakfast bread of choice. Tender and chewy, with the perfect balance of nooks and crannies. Remember this post? The post where I proclaim I spent gobs of hard earned cash on make-up. I don't blame you if you don't. It's been a month and posts tend to...
Peanut butter Oreo popsicles are going to become your new favorite frozen treat. Trust me on this! I'm sure I have burnt you out on popsicle recipes this summer, but pity me for I am ice cream maker-less. Not that I can really complain, because I don't have a vast amount of space in the freezer for one anyway....
Favorites come in many shapes and sizes. Favorites in music, for example, is dependent on the listener's tastes. When it comes to recipes, favorites are typically quick and easy, like these caprese appetizer skewers. Remember the chain emails that asked you a billion questions so your friends could get to know you better? Yeah, after the...
100 Grand cupcakes are dessert heaven. 100 Grand candy bars, stuffed inside and on top of moist chocolate cupcakes. With a caramel drizzle and fluffy buttercream frosting. I don't like to write about things that I am greatly opinionated on (well, other than food) because I don't think this is the place for it, but...
Black bean brownies are all of the rage, so I really thought I'd like them, but I didn't. They can't all be winners, right? As far as recipes go, this one was a failure for me. And frankly, it would be unrealistic to assume everything that comes out of my kitchen is covered in awesomesauce....
Smoky cola beef jerky is a delicious, homemade beef jerky snack that you can make with your backyard grill or smoker. Enchiladas, bacon in brownies and now 'jerky' - yeah, my inner carnivore was at its finest when planning the posts this week. I promise I'll make it up to all of those sweet tooth...
Basil pesto is a flavorful condiment, made from fresh basil leaves. When added to a roll of plain, refrigerated bread dough, basil pesto bread sticks are born! I've been on a bit of a basil pesto kick lately. Not sure where it came from or why, but I can't seem to get enough of the...

If you love red velvet and chocolate chip cookies, these red velvet chip cookies will make you one happy snacker! They're soft, rich, and loaded with cocoa and chocolate. This post is an ode to red. I have a love for the color red that is about as annoying as those girls that draw hearts...
Brownie cupcakes with fluffy peanut butter frosting on top. That's the kind of dessert that a hero deserves. A hero like this one... The other day a letter arrived addressed to my BF from: Big D 101 You’re Welcome Dr DoSomething, Nice 15500 The letter inside was "Dearest (Insert Handsome's name), I saw this on...
Cookie bars can be baked up in any flavor combination you can dream of, but for a classic, pure, perfect cookie bar, peanut butter and chocolate chips simply must be involved. OK, I'll admit it! I love you, Fall - too much - so I did it. I broke down the other day, and participated...
This week is my birthday week and, as usual I am preparing for my b-day party. This year I cut the invites by half and don't have the budget that I would normally have, so its burgers and hot dogs. Nothing too exciting, but hopefully things work out. Some friends are bringing food too to...
So, with only a few more light switches and trim work to go my kitchen is almost back in tip top condition. I am both relieved to finally have a functioning kitchen again (just in time for the holidays) and kind of saddened by the fact that my house wont be filled with friendly faces...
