Did any of you guys ever watch Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee when it was on the Food Network? I was weirdly obsessed with Sandra Lee’s show. One, because her recipes were great — I love that semi-homemade approach to cooking. And two, because her tablescapes were always so stunning. But I had to wonder: WHERE did [Read more >>]
Recently, I was traveling across the country and during my travel, would have to be in four different airports. Because of this, and the fact that my travel day started at the ripe ol’ time of 4am, I decided when I got to the first airport, I’d splurge on a food-court cinnamon roll. You know [Read more >>]

Any other 80′s babies out there?! Was it just me, or were cherries quite popular in the 90′s? Think cherry tattoos, cherry rearview mirror ornaments…you with me? Cherry seat covers. They were right up there with the fuzzy dice. In fact, I saw someone with the cherries dangling from their rearview mirror in their car [Read more >>]
As I’m writing this post, I’m seriously wishing I still had a bowl of this puppy chow in my kitchen. But I don’t. Pretty sure I ate the entire batch with the help of a lot of friends (ok, two.) in a matter of minutes. I found myself digging through the bowl looking for the [Read more >>]
