And Now A Word From Our Sponsor…

  Me, that is. Or I should say, Freakin’ Flamingo! You know I’m making some wild and sexy jams with a South Florida / Caribbean twist down here, right?

#IFBC Part 2: The Good Stuff

Lest you think that the International Food Bloggers Conference was a full-on bummer for me (see previous post), let me assure you that it was anything but. Oh, sure, there was drama, but I think a certain amount of drama is natural in any situation where you’ve got 250 people together in one place for [...]

GreatHallowTweet: Mummy Dogs

Mummy Dogs have become kind of a Halloween tradition in our house for the past several years. Tradition? Hahahahaha! Anyway… They’re ridiculously easy to make and are a fun, quick holiday-inspired food to give the kids while they’re champing at the bit to start Trick or Treating. At least it isn’t sugar! Adults love them, [...]

Mmmmm! Saturday was rainy and stormy, and [...]
