I believe the way to their hearts are through their stomach (I guess it's a good thing I am an excellent cook - if I do say so … [Read more...]
Easy Breaded Chicken Recipe I should say super easy AND delicious. This is my go-to meal when I forget to thaw something for supper or am just running behind and need something quick.

I highly recommend doubling or tripling the recipe, as one batch doesn't make very many. Crab Cakes: (adapted from Paula Deen's recipe on Food Network) Ingredients: 1 … [Read more...]
I am sure the answer to this question is "pretty much everything". Am I right, ladies? We will never understand how the inter-workings of a man's brain operate, nor will we understand testosterone, but we do what we can to give them the benefit of the doubt. My husband is actually pretty tame, but I always crack up when he and his buddies … [Read more...]
