Grilled Ribs with Mango Pineapple Sauce
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Weave Made Media® and Farmland/Smithfield, but all my opinions are my own. #weavemade #ReadySetRibs http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH MemorialDay is the official start of summer in the United States however, as a child I remember it being called Decoration Day.

Nana’s Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie with Meringue
Today is Mother’s Day and my mom is still spry enough to care for Rocket three days per week. Heck, I am not spry enough to do that!

Cornish Hens with Mango Avocado Salsa for #MothersDay #HealthySpring #KitchenIQ
Welcome to my Mother’s Day Healthy Spring Giveaway sponsored by #KitchenIQ!

Steak Sandwiches with Cheesy Horseradish Aioli

Easter Eggstravaganza with Peeps!
***I just want to pause a moment to remember those who died today 19 years ago in the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. I was sitting in the Bull Pen (big room full of desks) working on a case. A woman next to me got a call from her daughter saying that there was an…
