Super Bowl Recipes

I have a confession… I could care less about football! Yes, I live in Louisiana and EVERYONE is CRAZY about football, but it is just not my thing. Luckily I married someone who shares my lack of passion so we are a match made in Heaven!  Just because I don’t like football doesn’t mean I…

DIY Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

What is it about raw cookie dough that is so addictive!? Well, maybe it is all the sugar, wheat and other garbage they put in the tub?!? Don’t be fooled by that cute little face and that silly little laugh, store bought cookie dough is no good for you no matter how good it taste! …

50 Uses for Lemons in the Kitchen

Let’s talk Lemons! We have a HUGE lemon tree on our property, and for the past 2 years, I have not taken full advantage of its bounty. Over 15 feet tall and with lemons the size of navel oranges, we have more than we know what to do with. I would say there are HUNDREDS…
