In looking for the perfect cheesecake recipe, I realized choosing one out of the thousands was quite daunting and nearly impossible. This is my first “official” cheesecake and I wanted it to be great. I knew right away I needed to consult one of my favorite recipe bloggers–Annie. I have used many of her recipes […]
Key Lime Pie & Graham Cracker Crust
This has always been one of Kevin’s favorite desserts. Our very first Valentine’s day together, we made dinner and this was our dessert. Though I’m pretty sure the pie was a total flop–it didn’t set right for whatever reason–we still ate it and it still tasted scrumptious. Kevin & his brother’s birthdays are 1 day […]

The One that Works for Me
One of my cold-weather trends has to do with my love of tea. I never used to like tea. In fact, I found it repulsive. Then I started enjoying blueberry tea, fixed by my Britt. Now, I love a variety of teas. Black. Gingerbread. Chai. Peppermint. Vanilla. Earl Grey. Pretty much anything. My hands are […]

The One with the Hobbitses

Won’t you join MckMama and myself in this quest for brutal honesty? And if not, at least laugh at (with) me. I am always a big proponent of fairness. Therefore I would […]
