Breakfast Potatoes.

Is there really anything better than a bowl full of these delicious caramelized babies.

The key ingredient to these is not just that it has bacon… Read the rest of this entry »

One Way signs drive me crazy.  I feel that they are so confusing especially when you need to go the other way and realize that you can’t get back there unless you go all the way around or just keep going straight.

I guess life is the same way…

I started blogging in 2009 because a friend told me that I loved food so much why not talk about it.  Of course at the time I thought they were crazy.  I was like “Why would anyone want to hear what I have to say about food?” “I don’t know how to do that,” the biggest question was… “What if no one reads what I write?”

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Always Discreet. The opinions and text are all mine.

I am participating in a sponsored campaign hosted by Always Discreet®.

We are delighted to be working with Always Discreet® on their sensitive bladder campaign – giving a voice to the one in three women who suffer from bladder sensitivity in silence.

Why do we as women shy from talking about certain things? Why are we afraid to talk about our bodies and all the wonderful, amazing things we are able to do as women? I mean, for example, we are the ones who have been given the gift of childbirth. Women are! That in itself is an amazing gift bestowed upon us to pro create and continue life. For me I was always taught that ladies need to act a certain way and be proper and such. Of course over the years that still stands but with much more personality… LOL!

There are so many things that we are told as girls growing up. “Be polite, be strong, but don’t be abrasive. Be good, but don’t let people walk over you. Be well mannered and disciplined, but don’t talk about embarrassing things outside in public.” I think the list could go on and on and on… my head is spinning just thinking about all of them!

After having three kids, my bladder definitely has a mind of its own. I mean after pushing three kids, out your lower area is never the same. If I laugh too hard, sneeze or even cough hard I find that I leak on myself. I mean it’s human nature! Why should I feel embarrassed by something that is not in my control? I used to shy away and be so afraid if someone found out after my first when this would happen. Now, after three kids I’m like, “Listen if you make me laugh too hard, I’m gonna pee on myself… and I’m OK with that!”

I mean I’m only getting older and with that my body is changing whether I like it or not. Always Discreet Liners are great for light stress incontinence and these kind of episodes. Before I found these I had a few very embarrassing moments, with Always Discreet® those episodes are history. As a liner it’s minimal protection but for me it’s perfect.

Always Discreet aims to change the way women think and talk about bladder leaks. Did you know 1-in-3 women haves bladder leaks? 1-in-2 African American women 18yrs+ experience bladder leaks but only 1-in-9 use incontinence protection. Always Discreet wants them to know this a normal part of life, not something to be embarrassed by or a topic to avoid. Always has feminine, discreet bladder leak protection products that can enable women to live their lives to the fullest and without compromise. We would like your help to support Always Discreet’s mission to get the word out so women can feel
comfortable, confident, and in very good company.

Don’t Let Bladder Leaks Run Your Life!

All women at some point in time will encounter this issue once or have an ongoing bladder leaks… Please do not feel embarrassed to share your story or feel the need to keep it to yourself.

Droolworthy moist, rich chocolate cakes that will transport you back to your childhood!

As a kid did you ever eat ding dongs?

No, I’m not calling you a ding dong… I’m just asking if you had ever eaten one of these chocolate moist cakes filled with a marshmallow frosting glazed in a chocolate ganache…

So I ask again have you ever eaten a ding dong? 🙂

My grandmother used to always have these little packaged delights for an after school snack.  My cousin and I used to delight in knowing that after school we would be greeted with these and would rush home off the bus.  When we got down to the last pack in the box we would fight over who would get it and then would have to share it because my grandmother would make us…

These ultimate loaded BBQ Chicken Nachos are super easy and super quick to make, you can have them done in a blink of an eye or in our case before the first touchdown… oh yea did I forget to mention the Big Game is this upcoming weekend!

While the majority of you all are excited about the game–Me… I’m just excited about the Food… lots and lots of it! 😉

These nachos may just might be my favorite nachos of all time.  A mountain of tortilla chips pilled high filled with sweet smokey barbecue chicken, lots of cheese and all of the fixings you can think of!  We all know that nachos can be a number of ways and this way will no doubt be a crowd pleaser.

These are a super easy dinner idea or, if you are having a party or get-together, serve them as an appetizer.

Swirls of sweet buttery cinnamon sugar swirling throughout the moistest banana bread that will knock your socks off!

You know when you come across a good recipe and you just have to make it over and over.

Well I have always said that one of my all time favorite recipes to make is my grandmother’s recipes for Banana Bread.

I mean nothing makes a house smell better then homemade banana bread baking in the oven on a cold day.  I’m always thinking of different ways to change or mix up such a classic.  I sometimes add chocolate chips, peanut butter, nutella, and even banana bread with brown sugar cream cheese frosting — YUM!

So this little guy is turning two today! Can you believe it…

I can’t! I mean I feel like I was just pregnant with him and told my husband that we were having a third. Do you remember when I told you all that I was expecting…

I think I had to do a double take on the fact that it had been 8 years since our last one and were not prepared.  I remember like it was yesterday when Jacob came into this world, 5 weeks early at that also… that day was crazy but so beautiful at the same time.  Plus the kids were in there and saw their brother make his debut which we thought would be an experience they would forever cherish.

But God was not finished in creating this family of ours.
