Champagne Sunrise

I love Sunday mornings, lazy, sleep in and stay in your pajamas Sunday mornings.  Which is probably why I love Sunday brunch, I never get up early enough to have Sunday breakfast!  Normally I don’t have cocktails on a Sunday morning, not that I think there is anything wrong with it, but I prefer my […]

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies

Something about the holiday times that turns, even me, the non-baker, into a cookie fiend.  I rarely make cookies (just ask my cookie deprived family).  It’s not that I don’t like cookies, it’s that I do like cookies.  I like them just a little too much.  They are just too easy to eat.  It usually starts […]

The Ultimate Tuna Melt

This week has started off very busy.  It’s been all about the Baby boy.  I work 50+ hours a week and I barely have time to make dinner some nights.  It really depends on my schedule.  When I work the “open” shift I get home early so I can plan a nice meal, when I […]
