It’s almost Superbowl time, and you know what that means: Snacks and Commercials! I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping for more ingenuity and a lot less shock value this year. (I’m looking at you, GoDaddy). If you’re short on time, but still want to impress your friends with a stunning appetizer, this tapenade with endive will do it. It takes only a few minutes to whip up, and…
What a week! My beloved Sooners won the Sugar Bowl, my sorry KC Chiefs choked in the playoffs (again), and Jeff and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary.

I would get the fresh pizza dough from Trader Joe’s or make my own focaccia and throw it together on family pizza night. I’ve…

My head is swimming in a fog of cold medicine, and you really don’t want to see what I look like right now. But I desperately want to get into the holiday cheer mode, so I thought I would put together a list of my favorite Christmas things from blog posts past. Caprese Skewers…
