Okay, so where do I begin.... *sigh* This recipe is my Mom's. Those who read regularly likely know my Mom passed away when I was a teenager. She was incredible. She also made the BEST apple crisp in the world. Up until now I've never shared it. I am still questioning whether or not I should. Not because I don't want to... but because I messed this freaking thing up.... for the first time ever.... in over 30 years.... and I don't want to show it to you.... cuz it's … [Read more...]

There's a couple of days on the calendar each year I dread. There's no way around them. I wish I could pretend they don't exist. But they do. And that sucks. March 5 is the day my Mom passed away in 1984. May 7 is the day my Dad passed away in 2007. I wrote about my Dad last year. I also wrote about my Mom last year, and did a huge multi-blogger memorial for her this year. I was going to do the same for my Dad but my life is so in flux and high stress right now … [Read more...]

I love Easter. I love Chocolate. I love Easter Chocolate! Heck, let's be honest, I love any kind of chocolate. Any excuse to chow down on delicious chocolate is a good day in my book. Toss in some festive holiday candy and it goes beyond love, right into obsession. I love Creme Eggs. I love Jelly Beans. Add those to chocolate bark and it might be time for a restraining order. I may cross over the edge. It's been known to happen. I mean look at this stuff. It's yummy goodness inside more … [Read more...]
I may have just made the easiest dessert on the face of the planet. It's easy, it's cute and it took about 5 to 10 minutes to whip up. I know it's super impressive right. Pfft! These were born out of sheer necessity. I joined a group of bloggers to do a St. Patrick's Day Group Post, then proceeded to get the flu. I had planned to make something else, but after not having been to the grocery store in 10 days the pantry had slim pickings. I still wasn't ready to go shopping at the … [Read more...]
Okay so I'm going to be honest with you. I had a little bit of an ulterior motive for making this one. It goes a little something like this: My Bestie: Hey Kim, what did you get hubs for Valentine's Day? Kim: I got him Trash. And he totally deserved it! … [Read more...]
