Deviled Eggs are a favorite in our house, even our son, who just turned 20, requested them as part of his birthday dinner. He's also a fan of bacon and jalapenos, so I combined the flavors and created this Bacon-Jalapeno Deviled Eggs recipe.
5 Easy Food Ideas for your NASCAR Party
In our home, my husband is the main NASCAR fan and he watches all the races. There are a few races each year, though, that have become a larger event in our house: Bristol and Las Vegas. We lived in Bristol for several years, and it's our absolute favorite, but since we live in Las Vegas now, we're also always sure to watch the Vegas race.

La Romanella Calzones
For the past three weeks (at the date of writing this), I have not eaten one thing that was prepared in a home kitchen. Being out of town due to my father's unexpected passing has meant that I've only eaten fast food, casual dining restaurants, free continental breakfasts at a hotel, or {gasp} food from a convenience store. Not all of it was bad, but I was REALLY wanting to get cooking in my own kitchen.
Recently, I was invited to cook up something using products from the La Romanella
In memory of my Dad
This is a post that I never imagined posting.
After my 37-year-old sister, Danielle, passed away in November, I looked forward to 2012 being a year without losing someone I love. I figured that after losing her, there was no chance that I would lose someone else dear to me...what would be the odds of that? I was sure it wouldn't happen.
But it did.
On Monday, January 23, my Dad died.
My father bought two breakfast burritos at McDonald's, drove to a commuter parking lot to wait for
Coffee Cheesecake Sopapillas
My niece makes a yummy dessert that she calls cheesecake sopapillas. She uses crescent rolls and cream cheese and an assortment of other ingredients. She's really good at making it and it's a treat that our whole family enjoys.
When she makes them, my husband and I like to have a cup of coffee with them. I was recently invited to try out Smart & Final's Ambiance line of coffee products, and I thought this would be a great time to try my own version of Courtney's sopapillas. With her

My Iced Coffee Gift for a Favorite Food Blogger
Remember how I made homemade marshmallows with Iced Coffee? I was sent new International Delight Iced Coffee to try and I liked it so much that I was inspired to see if it would work in making coffee marshmallows...and it did work!
One of the perks of being chosen to try this new Iced Coffee, is that I was able to share the coffee love with another blogger. I was able to pick a blogger of my choice and they would also be sent three 1/2 gallons of International Delight Iced Coffee.
Take and Bake Pizza Makeover
Let's say you want to have pizza, but don't want to make it homemade. But, you are looking to save some money, so having a couple pizzas delivered isn't the best option for you either.
If you are like our family, you might pick up a "take and bake" pizza. It's an occasional option for us, but there is seldom a pizza that is exactly what I am craving: one with lots of vegetables and no meat -- or if there is meat, only chicken. Most of my family is happy with the options available (the typical
WinCo Foods Grocery Store coming to Las Vegas!
Yes, I get excited about things like grocery stores opening. And if there was one grocery store I wanted to have open in Las Vegas, it's WinCo Foods.
A couple years ago, while living in Virginia, I was talking to my sister-in-law (who lives where I used to live) on the phone and I asked her where she does most of her grocery shopping at. She said that she usually shopped at Winco. Huh? What's a WinCo? There was no WinCo's in our town before I left and I had never heard of them. She told me a
