They say opposites attract, which I guess is true with Greg and me. He is tall while I am short. He’s a night owl and I’m an early riser. He likes sweet and I like savory. The one place (ok, not the one, but you know what I mean!) we can seem to agree on … More Frozen Key Lime Pie
Like most people, I am constantly on the quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Fluffy but still moist, chewy yet a little crunchy. Ahh, it’s a never-ending journey! Today I tried yet another recipe, this one courtesy of Nigella Lawson. Nigella is a legend. If you have never heard of her, she is a … More The Quest for the Perfect Cookie
When I am getting this big of a haul from my raspberry bushes each day, I had to start getting creative with what to do with all these beautiful, delicious gems!!! Solution- pie!!!

Honestly, I should stop the blog post here. No more needs to be said. This needs to be in your belly! Ok, I love talking way too much … More Pecan Bars
Like most meetings, my department meetings at work suck. Once a month, we all give up our lunch break to meet together to discuss things that could have easily been covered in an email.
