Love, Love Me Do

It all started a couple of weeks ago.  A petty disagreement turned into a heated discussion, which I then took a step further by the statement, “I’m sorry I’m not as pretty as I was when we got married.” The thing is I truly believed that.  Maybe that’s why his next statement hurt so much. “You’re not the girl I married.  The girl I married was so confident in who she was that she already KNEW she was beautiful.  I think you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, but you’ll never believe ... continue reading...

Marinated Cacio e Pepe Stuffed Mushrooms

Today on Faces of Beauty we have Janet!  Stop over, say hi, and make sure you submit your photo/paragraph too :) Good morning y'all!  As I write this I am wondering how it could happen that I fell asleep on the floor of our living room last night and didn't wake up until 5AM.  Oops.  The best part?  I stayed at home last night, didn't drink a sip of alcohol, and ate a chicken quesadilla.  That's it and that's all y'all.  No partying ways to blame! Regardless, I promised y'all yesterday that ... continue reading...

Chocolate Coconut Biscotti

Make sure you head over and check out my sister's post on Faces of Beauty!  She is (and always has been) incredibly beautiful :) I remember the first time I made biscotti.  I never really liked the stuff, but I decided to make it as part of the goodie box I was putting together for Nate's family for Christmas.  Now, to be clear, I didn't make this for them because I didn't like biscotti...no, no.  I made it because I wanted to impress them with my baking skills and make something that sounded ... continue reading...

Dump Cake

Good morning everyone!  Make sure you check out Val's amazing story over at Faces of Beauty...and submit your own if you haven't already! We should call this post "how to get all of your friends to propose to you cake" because this classic dump cake will certainly do just that. At first I was a little wary of the power of dump cake (and the name?!), but after going camping this weekend and making this sans pineapple for all of our friends...well, let's just say it could get ugly if you have to ... continue reading...

Brown Sugar French Toast

***Make sure you head over to Faces of Beauty for today's amazing post from Megan!*** I don't know about you guys, but my husband ADORES French toast.  Almost to a fault.  Almost. Every time we go out to eat for breakfast he orders it.  Every time I ask him what he wants me to make him for breakfast, he says French toast.  Sometimes he pleads for it. You could say he's a connoisseur of French toast. So it's no surprise that he was pleading asking for me to make French toast for him with all ... continue reading...
