First, I have to apologize for my absence. It wasn’t planned, but you know how sometimes you just don’t feel like blogging? Even though you have things to say? That was me this month, and I decided to honor those feelings. Sure, a good blogger posts consistently. But a good blogger also cares more about quality than quantity, so I chose not to post for the sake of posting. But now I’m back with lots to talk about, including my recent birthday.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites
Glorious food. Oh how I love thee. You, on the other hand, love me too much. You cling to my thighs, my belly, my booty. You and I are in the midst of a change of guard. For far too long, you, dear food, were in control. And I was your humble servant. This will no longer be the case. I am taking ... [Read more]
Chocolate Espresso Zucchini Brownies
It's good to be back, although I enjoyed my time off immensely. I went home for a family reunion, and it was great to see relatives I haven't seen in years.

Valentine's Day is next week, which I refuse to believe. I know it's true, but February just started. How can it almost be half over? Well, MaxE and I have big, big plans for V-day. ... [Read more]
Christmas Treats to Wow Your Friends and Family
Christmas is almost here, folks! And I am ready to munch on some good food and to see my family. And yes, enjoy a little gift-giving too. Growing up, on Christmas Eve we would go to my Grandma's house for dinner. It was always oyster stew, chili, sloppy joes and her famous green dessert. Oysters ... [Read more]
Bacon Peanut Clusters
Yup. I totally went there. Added bacon to a Christmas candy. Okay, in absolute fairness I can't claim that it was my idea to do so. But I can claim to know a good thing when I see it. And these bad boys are good. ... [Read more]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Shortbread Bars
Halloween is almost here. Can you believe it? It seems like October just started and now we are about to bid it adieu. Are you dressing up for Halloween? I'm not. But MaxE is! He is super excited about it too. Or not. He gets kind of cranky when I put on his costume. :) ... [Read more]
