August 31, 2011 2 comments

I’ll admit it…I’m totally hooked on QVC’s Friday night beauty. If you’re not a watcher of QVC, Friday night beauty is exactly as it sounds. Every Friday evening starting at 10pm EST, they spend 1 to 2 hours strictly dedicated to new beauty products from great companies like Tarte, Philosophy, Mally, etc. But this past Friday night beauty kicked off 26 glorious hours of ALL beauty products! One thing that caught my eye was the [...]

Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

August 29, 2011 5 comments

Yesterday just seemed like one of those days. It just felt like nothing was going right…at all! I’ll spare you all the details but let’s just say it included wasting 3 hours of my Sunday afternoon running around like an idiot correcting someone else’s error. Not the hubs’ so don’t worry! So by the time dinner came around, I just did not feel like going out for dinner. So instead, I whipped up this yummy [...]

So I decided to try my hand at some roasted broccoli with a handful of baby carrots thrown in. This unique recipe caught my eye because it calls for a nice variety of spices as well as grated cheese and [...]

Homemade Salsa

August 12, 2011 0 comments

The past couple of years I have had zero luck in growing my own tomatoes. So this year, I said the heck with it. But I do miss the taste of fresh from the vine warm tomatoes. While I was grinding away on this homemade salsa I kept thinking “this isn’t gonna be the same with canned tomatoes”. But I was quite wrong. The garlic, onion and fresh cilantro give it enough of a “fresh” [...]
