Here's an easy Halloween party foods idea: Eyeball Pinwheels recipe! They give the creepy look of bloodshot eyeballs and are especially fun when served on jack-o-lantern napkins.
Sweet and Crunchy Chicken Tenders
Men in Black 3 early access viewing party
During the summer, one of the movies that the kids went to go see, but David and I didn't, was Men in Black 3.
We were in Virginia while my sister was ill, and it was the second time this year I had to be away from the kids for an extended period of time. But, I tried my best to make sure they had fun while we were gone and one of the things I arranged was for them to go to the movies to see Men in Black.
With MIB3 coming out next month in November, Mattie is super excited to finally
Side Dish Recipe: Parmesan Spaghetti Squash
When Autumn rolls around, there is one side dish recipe I always make -- and usually a few times: Parmesan Spaghetti Squash. It's so frugal, but so good!
If you aren't familiar with spaghetti squash, it's a winter squash that is oblong with a yellow, hard shell. The inside is stringy, which is why the name "spaghetti" squash. One of the things I love about spaghetti squash, like other winter squash, is that they keep well. I buy when I see the prices the lowest and keep in a cool place. While
Favorite Events at the Blogalicious 2012 Blogging Conference
It's been about a month since the Blogalicious 2012 blogging conference, and while there is so much I could share, there was 5 sessions and events during this Vegas conference that left a lasting impression on me. I have put together a list of the ones that I have thought about often over the last month and if I could go back in time, I would want to attend them again.

Wine Anchors Great Memories: A Night with Mirassou Winery
"Wine anchors great memories" - David Mirassou
Is it possible to love a wine brand even before your first sip? In the case of Mirassou Winery, I believe it's so.
This month, I was all set to attend my second blogging conference, Bloggy Boot Camp. I knew one of the sponsors was Mirassou Winery, but what I didn't know is that they were having a private wine tasting and dinner for some of the Bloggy Boot Camp attendees. It wasn't until I received my invitation that I learned of the special

Today is my Dad's birthday. He would have been 65 years old.
This is his first birthday since he passed away last January.
I actually thought about this day shortly after he passed away. I thought about how this year would be a year of firsts - his first birthday without him, my first birthday without him,

How to Roast Garlic
When my husband and I were first married, I never cooked with garlic. It's not because I didn't want to...it was because David couldn't handle it. None of my cooking used it. Well, except spaghetti sauce, but David has always been the spaghetti sauce maker in our house and he would use some garlic powder in that. That's all though.
The reasons for his dislike of garlic was that his grandmother made a baked chicken recipe that used "tons" of garlic powder. He says she made it a couple times a
