The search is on for the perfect midday snack. As the days get longer, and the temperatures get hotter, I'm on a mission to find those perfect bites for a hot summer afternoon. I always take a snack with me to work to eat around 4 in the afternoon. I usually bring a selection of… Continue reading Smoked Salmon Cucumber Bites

Texas Fudge
Have you ever heard of fudge made with Velveeta? I'm not talking about a savory, cheesy fudge. I'm talking about a chocolate fudge that gets its creaminess from Velveeta cheese. That's a weird recipe I stumbled upon in an old church cookbook a few years ago. I googled it and apparently making fudge with Velveeta… Continue reading Texas Fudge
Cocktail Sunflower Seeds
I've never been a huge fan of sunflower seeds. The problem I have with them isn't taste; it's how exactly to eat them. I'm not a master at getting the shells off and enjoying what's inside. I don't like to work for my food. I'd rather pop a handful of almonds or cashews instead of… Continue reading Cocktail Sunflower Seeds
Spicy Pimiento Cheese
I must confess. I may be married, but I've been in love since far before I met him...I'm talking since I was in grade school. My second love? Cheese. All things cheese. My profound love for cheese probably comes from my mom, or my grandma. My mom would always have special cheeses out for holiday… Continue reading Spicy Pimiento Cheese
Turkey & Cranberry Sliders
Whoever invented the Hawaiian roll slider, bless them. I've made these things a dozen different times in a dozen different ways. They always turn out marvelous. There's just something about Hawaiian rolls that makes them so good. You could probably slap a piece of tree bark and gravel between two sides of a Hawaiian roll… Continue reading Turkey & Cranberry Sliders
Mini Everything Cheese Balls

I usually cook everything on the weekends, but I was in full force cook mode this weekend. The kitchen is my calming, serene place and I needed a… Continue reading Mini Everything Cheese Balls
Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Halloween is still three days away, but the city Rob & I live in had their citywide Trick or Treating yesterday. Ghosts and goblins and princesses came to our door while we were carving pumpkins and celebrating this spooky time of year. We also went to go see the new Halloween movie yesterday. I was… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Pizza Hassleback Zucchini
I woke up to the sun beaming outside of my window for the first time in, well, forever. I've disrupted my normal schedule to help fill in working a normal person shift for the first part of this week. It's a nice change of pace. Being awake during the day is---different. I've gotten so used… Continue reading Pizza Hassleback Zucchini
Fully Loaded Zucchini Skins
Guys! Guys!!! Today is September 1st...and you know what that means... It's Squash September!! I'm pretty sure this is my fourth annual Squash September. Four years! Wow. The time has just flown by. If you're new here, and you can't figure out what's going on by the title---the entire month of September is dedicated to… Continue reading Fully Loaded Zucchini Skins
Green Chile Deviled Eggs
Have you ever seen the episode of 'The Office' where Michael burns his foot on a George Foreman grill because he likes the smell of bacon when he wakes up and stepped on it? It seems so unrealistic that it's funny. Too bad that pretty much happened to me on Saturday. No, it wasn't a… Continue reading Green Chile Deviled Eggs
