Paula Deen’s beautiful smiling face and sparkling blue eyes caught my attention at the checkout a coulpe of days ago - so into the grocery cart she went. It was the April 1, 2008 issue of one of my favorite magazines, Good Housekeeping’s quick and simple.
Her beautiful face is also inside the [...]

I’ve come across two new addictions this week I thought I’d share with you.
First of all, you know how much I love tea. You probably know that within the past few years I’ve fallen hard for Green Tea (…and I have no idea why I capitalized it - showing reverence, maybe?). Fortunately [...]

Framed, this $7.00 poster would look like a gorgeous (and expensive!) art print. Who’d ever know?!

There are a few episodes and recipes that can only be called CAN’T MISS on today’s Food Network. I won’t be able to be pried away from the set during the following shows for the following reasons!

Coffee Lovers: Here’s a post just for you.

Check it out, the Rachael Ray 2-pc. Berry Paisley Platter and Dip Bowl, Red/ Orange (above) is as colorful and perky as Rachael Ray, herself, is.
Fresh veggies, fruit slices and even plain old chips would look twice as nice on Rachael’s nine inch paisley-shaped platter! The platter and coordinating bowl hold enough munchies and [...]

Happy Birthday, Outback Steakhouse!
As I said in yesterday’s post, Outback Steakhouse is 20 years old today - and it’s safe to say they’ve aged very, very well. Since the last post became pretty much a “How many ways do I Love thee, Bloomin’ Onion” ballad, I thought it only fitting to love [...]
