Football is one of America’s favorite past-times, am I right? And one of the biggest games of the year is coming up this weekend, the Super Bowl. I have never really been a big fan of football, however, I do enjoy all the things that come along with it – the food, the beer, the…
Who doesn’t love chili? Especially on a cool fall or cold winter night? I LOVE chili. When my husband and I first started dating, he made me this chili recipe and it is so good. It’s not your traditional chili recipe of ground beef and beans, but adds a different twist with ground turkey and…
A few years ago, one of my best friends made this dip for a party and it pretty much has become a staple at every party since. And its so easy to make. Like literally. And it’s pretty budget friendly as well. So let’s get started! First, you want to gather your ingredients. It only…
Over the last few years, when I’ve hosted a party for a large group of people, I find it easier to make utensil holders for each person. All they gotta do is grab a holder, their plate and dig in. A lot smoother when grabbing food! I’ve even made utensil holders for a few friends’…

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know we sure did and this year we have so much to be thankful for! Good health, great jobs that provide, clothes on our backs, food on our table and the overwhelming love and support of our families and friends. And to make it extra special, I…
A few of my best friends LOVE Moscow mules – shout out to Dana and Gina – so I thought I’d add a little twist if you will to the traditional Moscow mule for the holidays. A traditional Moscow mule includes a good brand of vodka, ginger beer, a splash of lime juice and garnished…
When entertaining during the Thanksgiving holiday, it’s nice to have a self-serve bar area for your guests. I had bought this bar cart from TJ Maxx a few years ago and always style this around the holidays throughout the year. It makes it easy for your guests to just grab a drink and start mingling….
