Chocolate-Dipped Bacon

May 31, 2011

I didn’t invent this.  Which means you can’t blame me for showing you how easy it is. I mean, chocolate-dipped anything isn’t that hard as long as you use good chocolate.  And by good chocolate I mean most chocolate in general.   Ever since I saw the $4 double-bacon chocolate bar in a shop in [...]

May 29, 2011

Once upon a time I had big plans for Memorial Day weekend.  You know, one of the few 3-day weekends I get a year. Alas, instead of the gardening, shopping, cleaning, and laying out in the sun-ing I had planned, I got food poisoning instead.  All I have to say is stay away from bad [...]

About 2 weeks ago beautiful Faces of Beauty reader Melissa left a comment saying she was glad to find out about the blog from All You Magazine.  Immediately I was intrigued and found out that Faces of Beauty is part of a feature about women who have learned to love themselves just as they are!

Browned Butter Brown Sugar Cookies with Lemon Buttercream

May 25, 2011

Have you ever browned butter before? Lord help me, I just might burn my tongue trying to lick the pan the next time I brown butter.  That nutty, buttery (duh), rich aroma is only slightly indicative of the massive amount of nutty, buttery, richness that will befall your tastebuds and I almost can’t stand it.  [...]

These Guys

May 24, 2011

Oh these pups.  They’re going stir-crazy these days with the rain causing them to miss their favorite yet oh-so-muddy dog park. It’s almost worth the muddy paws, filthy carpet, and having to lug 100 lb Bunker up the stairs for a bath. Almost.
