Sadly, we're not throwing a BBQ this Memorial Day weekend because I'm deep in the trenches of wedding planning and am unable to focus on non-wedding related tasks as simple as taking a shower, much less throwing a party at our house. But I love entertaining and if I were throwing a party, here are a few of the recipes I'd be attacking. I hope you have the happiest long weekend packed with relaxation, food and, of course, honoring the servicemen and women who died serving our country, giving you both your freedom and your Monday off to inhale cheese dip and margaritas. HAPPY FRIDAY!View Article

I made them last Friday when we had the kids over for a pizza party and screening of Austin Powers (they'd never seen it! We introduced them to both Austin and Elizabeth Hurley. I don't think their worlds will ever be the same.) The kids all said the frosting tastes like ice cream and Tony (who doesn't even like chocolate that much) ate three of them. Throwing the last two away mid-cleanse broke my heart.View Article
Threw these cupcakes from last Friday away because it hurt to look at them. Stared at them in the garbage for a long time. Took a picture and made art. Still thinking about cupcakes... Can you tell I started my first juice cleanse yesterday?? (I don't DO juice cleanses. You can read my feelings on them in yesterday's post.) Day Two update on how I am surviving...View Article
