The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever!
I've been on P90x for about 2 months now, on an off, doing it whenever I feel like I need to quickly see my abs and thighs as tight as a sprint runner. It really does work. I can only imagine what I'd really be able to accomplish if I followed it to the T and...

A Giveaway For ICBINB Goodies & Crate & Barrel Platter
A fellow food blogger recently wrote on Twitter that they were tired of seeing other bloggers do give-aways and product reviews. The reasoning didn't have any rhyme to it; they simply said it takes away from the true purpose of blogging. I was confused, cons...

Why I love Cooking Under Pressure with That Pot! A Delectable Coconut Flan
I've not spent enough time talking about pressure cooking and why it's so vital in my kitchen.
Getting caught up in producing commercials, traveling, hosting culinary benefits for Haiti and just wanting to cover other foods, easily drifted me away from what...
