• Pistachio Cake

    Do you ever just have days, you almost wish, you hadn’t gotten out of bed?  A few weekends ago we were going to throw my father-in-law a retirement party.  My mom, bless her heart, volunteered to do our portion of the food, but a few years ago I took cake decorating classes and I actually…

  • We're a Team

    And together we can conqueror all things! And that has nothing really to do other than, I popped into my head and I had to share! Ok so it’s been a realllllly long time since I’ve updated my 101 list.  But I’ve actually mastered a few things.  Life has been so super busy crazy, especially…

  • Wow….

  • Spicy Sausage Pasta

    I’m fairly certain I knew what smoked sausage tasted like, but I’m not going to lie, I’ve never bought it.  Usually it was at a potluck when someone brought cheese, crackers and smoked sausage.  So back when we did the Poulet Tchoupitoulas and I was wandering around the store, I had the hardest time finding…
