Melinda’s Hot Sauce

I like hot sauce, but hot sauce with flavor. Thinking back to the “hot stuff” situation from a few months ago, I am SO happy to have a supply of Melinda’s Hot Sauce on hand: “a heat and flavor profile for every palate.” Damn right. We like flavor. We like food. We like Melinda’s. Stay…

Special Dinner – Friends and Family

Despite how much I love to cook and nourish the mouths and souls of others, I actually rarely entertain at home. I like my space. I like my habits. I like my routine. I have a very generous heart, but when it comes to my space and my place, I’m rather protective – very particular….

Parisian Steak Frites

Here we go with our second round of meal prep kit delivery from Blue Apron. This time it was even better: Parisian Steak Frites.

Hobo Pies

Believe it or not, this princess used to LOVE the outdoors. It’s not that I don’t relish in my daily devotional morning walk and hike and then my return home for a nice hot shower and the luxurious of my own home ~ but I don’t so much love the long term hot, sweaty, dirty…

Sesame Kingdom Mediterranean Spread – Product Review
