I have never been a fan of apple pie.  I love apples, well I love red apples, but usually apple pies are made with green apples and I have never been a fan of them.  Whenever we would go out to dinner and there was apple pie on the menu my sister and I would […]

The keys to making the perfect hamburger is really simple.  You really need to first get some really pretty, (for some of you pretty wouldn’t describe meat… but you know when meat just has a pretty look to it), well I always like to go for ground beef with a 80%-20% fat to lean ratio.  […]

This past weekend I was lucky enough to spend some time with my husbands family in Atlanta.  It was so good to get away for a little bit and just spend some quality time with those I hardly get to see.  While I was there my niece had her 6th birthday party and this year […]
