November 29, 2010 By kmorris 6 Comments

This is something that I’ve wanted to try for a long time…make sourdough bread. I am well-acquainted with yeast bread making.

I must be the only person on the planet who doesn’t like pumpkin pie. While I don’t completely dislike pumpkin ( I totally LOVE my Pumpkin Lattes this time of year!) I just don’t care for the texture of pumpkin pie. For years, my precious husband has picked up a pecan pie as my alternative. [...]

Walking Tacos

I thought that perhaps they were tacos made with those shells that stand up. Makes sense. Then, while at a game, I saw someone order a “Walking Taco” and [...]
