Boy oh boy. Where to begin. Well first, let’s pick a winner for my Rinaldi Pasta Sauce giveaway! I only had 5 people enter the giveaway, which I blame on faulty marketing on my part. I mean, I didn’t even list an end date for the contest! Blogger fail. Anyway, the lucky winner is… Lynn [...]

Boyfriend in the Kitchen
Good evening! Monday’s are pretty rough, but at least it’s behind us now, right? You may have noticed (or not?) that I haven’t been posting recipes on the ole blog lately, or as often as I used to. This is because I was getting into a bit of a cooking rut, and I wasn’t about [...]
100% Homemade Chicken Soup via Crock Pot
