Did you know there was such a thing? I didn’t either. I guess so many other things have their own month, so why not iced tea? Since its so hot, I decided to make some iced tea today, but with a twist. I used my favorite herbal blend from Twinings of London: Herbal Unwind African…

Pretzel Sticks with Cheesy Dipping Sauce
When I go to the mall and pass by an Auntie Anne’s pretzel shop, I have to stop. I always get the same thing, unsalted pretzel with salsa cheese dipping sauce. I found a pretzel recipe over on Loves to Eat Weblog and wanted to try it for myself for a snack. They are not…
Tapioca Honey Cookies
Here is another Savings Challenge: tapioca flour and organic rice flour are the ingredients. Why would I even have these you ask? I attempted to make a gluten-free yellow cake for someone who has a wheat allergy and needed these two ingredients. Unfortunately, they didn’t like the texture of the cake and I think that…
Sweet and Spicy Spinach
In my quest to save money, I have decided to challenge myself by using up ingredients I already have in the pantry and using them in new recipes. Luckily there are websites like Allrecipes that you can enter in an ingredient and it will pull up recipes that has that ingredient. I’m going to call…
Countertops Installed: Check!
We have new countertops! It only took 1.5 months. Mr. G said he was skeptical about my choice at first, but he is convinced now. We love it! Check out our new cast iron sink. We think the new faucet is sexy and mod (lol). Next on the list is having the floors installed because…
The Magic Number
I received my Peachtree Road Race number over the weekend! This makes it real with only a little over two weeks left! No more sitting around when I can be running! I’ve got to move it, move it!
Pulled Pork
I always order pulled pork when I go to a BBQ restaurant. I like it by itself or on a lightly buttered, toasted bun. When I saw this recipe over on Crockpot Tuesdays, I knew it was time to try this. I bought the pork top loin roast from Costco and it did not have…
Georgia Peach Ice Cream
In celebration of the start of the Georgia Peach Festival in my home town and as part of this month’s Tasty Tools event sponsored by Joelen’s Culinary Adventures, I decided to pull out my ice cream maker and make my own peach ice cream. (Yes, my ice cream maker is pink.) Homeade ice cream is…
Gingered Brats
I love bratwurst, so when I saw this recipe over on Joelen’s Culinary Adventures, I knew it was something I wanted to try. I did my shopping at Whole Foods because I wanted to make sure I got fresh brats (I usually only see smoked in the grocery store). If you do not eat pork…
Vidalia Onion Casserole
Thank you all for your support and voting for me in this contest. Even though I didn’t win, it was nice to make the top 10 and subsequently 4th place in my first attempt in a recipe contest. I know you all probably asked yourself, “When is she going to cook it herself?” (or maybe…
