Any time I go to a restaurant, there are certain items that make me drool. Okay fine, so being a foodie means a LOT of foods make me drool, but some produce salivation that cause me to take a step back and say, “No, your belly can’t handle eating 2,000 calories before dinner. Don’t be silly. Plus,Read More

If I never see another skewer again, it'll be too soon.
A friend from culinary school asked me to help her cater an event for her company Christmas party. Well duh! Happy to help, especially when a chunk of money is involved and it has anything to do with food. We went over the details, and I agreed to do the desserts for the event. HowRead More
Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Holes
I haven’t met a single person in my life that doesn’t like doughnuts. I’m not saying there aren’t people out there who don’t, I just haven’t met any of them. After a visit with my in-laws and looking through my mother-in-law’s buffet of magazines that she gets (I always browse through People and Southern Living),Read More
Mini Crescent Roll Corn Dogs
Corn dogs have always been a classic favorite, and for good reason. They may not be healthy, but good grief, they’re delicious. As I was on my way to the grocery store today, different ideas of appetizers were flowing through my brain. The Crescent Roll Mozzarella Sticks have been a HUGE hit every time IRead More
Crescent Roll Mozzarella Sticks
When it comes to carbs and cheese, I’m in heaven. Seriously. I was just telling my aunt and cousin over the weekend that I can walk by desserts and avoid eating them (if I’ve already eaten some), but put some pasta, breads, taters and any type of cheese or cream sauce with it? I becomeRead More

My husband and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon, and we both loved it. The beautiful scenery, perfect weather, laid back atmosphere…and amazing food. Just from researchingRead More
Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
My dad is a HUGE fan of pretty much anything cherry, but especially cherry cheesecake. So when his birthday party came around this past year and I was deciding on menu items, this made the top of the dessert list. Well, along with his birthday cake, too. I don’t know what it is about bite size cheesecakes…maybeRead More
Mini Tacos
Last week when I was watching Giada De Laurentiis cook some amazing Hawaiian themed foods on her show, I got all excited when she made the fish tacos using won ton wrappers as the shell. Genius! I exclaimed, “I can make regular mini tacos with those shells and use beef! YES!” and clapped my handsRead More
Cinnamon Sugar Crescent Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze
While my cousin and I were on the phone one day, the topic of crescent rolls came up, and we start talking about how we both loved them. Then, I started thinking about the honey butter crescent rolls at California Dreaming. Then, my mouth started to water, and I wanted some crescent rolls. Even thoughRead More
Pretzel Turtles
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO ON HOW TO MAKE THESE PRETZEL TURTLES! Several years ago, a friend of mine was telling me about how much she loves turtles…and I’m not talking about the animal. Although, now that I think about it, she loves those, too. Anyway, she was talking about the combination of chocolate,Read More
