Oatmeal Cookies

May 23rd, 2018Tina2 Comments

Are you ready to meet the best oatmeal cookie ever? Cue the dramatic music. 😉 I’ve made a variety of oatmeal cookies. Some recipes were crap and you’ll never see those here (because I won’t waste your time). Other recipes were great and I still like them for one reason or another. For example, if you’re looking for a banana oatmeal cookie then the whole wheat banana oatmeal cookies are awesome. However, I had yet to find a good classic oatmeal cookie. You know, the good old fashion kind with oats and raisins. No cutting back on butter and sugar. And …

Spring Dinner Menu

May 9th, 2018Tina0 Comments

I’ve shared some menu ideas in the past but they’re usually around the holidays and geared for winter time foods. Today, I thought I’d share an example of what I’d serve this time of the year. All of the recipes can be prepared ahead of time and for me that’s key. I like to spend time chatting and drinking with my guests instead of frantically running around the kitchen. Spring Dinner Menu: I always like to make a salad and for me, I prefer a light side salad, like this Olive Salad. Although my husband is not a fan of …

Are you looking for an easy week night dinner? If you are, and it’s not cereal, then I might have an idea for you. 🙂 It seems like I’m always looking for new dinner recipes. Maybe it’s because I get bored easily, unless it’s pizza, because pizza is always a good idea. I was excited when I found this recipe because it looked easy and delicious. Plus, I was excited when I realized that I had all of the ingredients with exception of the chicken. I’m not exactly a fan of chicken, but there are exceptions, like this chicken lo …

My youngest sister is getting married this year. (Cue the tears.) She asked me what I thought she should include on her wedding registry. She’s just starting out so she’ll need some basic things, like mixing bowls. I also think that she should include some things on her registry that are a bit extravagant, even if she doesn’t think she’ll use them as often as the basics. Here are my top 5 kitchen products that I think are worth the splurge: Espresso Machine. My husband and I bought a Nespresso espresso machine in 2014 after we came home from our Turks and Caicos …

Spring Decor With Faux Flowers

April 25th, 2018Tina1 Comment

It’s finally starting to feel like Spring outside, which is good because I’ve had the house ready for Spring since late February. I start that early for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I’m very eager for more light and warmer temperatures come late February into early March so I figure if I bring Spring inside then maybe I’ll start feeling like it really is Spring (even when we have 10 inches of snow). Second, I’m a visual person so I usually have to rearrange things 2, 3 or 4 times before I’m happy with the way something looks. …
