I’ll admit it. Saturday was a total lazy day. I did nothing but lay around all day and night and watch a Cooking Channel marathon of Dinner at Tiffani’s. After watching cooking shows all day and night long, I started to think about other celebrities who cook and now have cooking shows. So here are my top seven celebrities, who have cooking shows, with whom I’d love to stand beside them, cook with them, and then taste the the fruits of our labor. 1) Tiffani Theissen, Dinner at Tiffani’s Photo Source: Cooking Channel Not only does she know how to cook, […]
Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is next week, and thousands of people are preparing to either travel to visit family and/or friends, vacation in warmer destinations, or cook the Thanksgiving meal. I, myself, fall into the last category because last year, my husband and I spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas! Like so many, I will be preparing the entire meal for the first time. Of course, my husband will help with the ham. No, we’re not having the traditional turkey for Thanksgiving. I may go to the store and purchase a small amount of turkey, but the main meat will be ham. Side dishes […]

From My Kitchen to Yours
I make lunch for my husband’s entire family (if everyone comes over, there’s nine of us) every Sunday. I don’t mind it really, because I really like to cook (and bake). Several years ago, I kind of took over the Sunday cooking responsibilities from my husband’s grandmother, Maw (as we call her). We’ve lived with her going on 10 years, and I’ve probably cooked more Sunday lunches and holiday dinners than I care to count. But as everyone knows who sits at our dinner table, I don’t cook crap and everything I make is “made with love!” So this Sunday […]
