Date Night or Girls Night or Just a Fun Time
We recently went to Red Stick Spice Co. for a group cooking class. We booked this class in the summer the day after the cooking class schedule debuted for the fall because these cooking classes book up FAST! Our class was on a Tuesday night, however, their test kitchen offers weekday afternoon classes that usually have openings.
I like to think I am comfortable in the kitchen. I follow many recipe developers and my favorite thing to watch on television is cooking shows. I experiment in the kitchen and absolutely love baking with my children. That being said: I have never done a private or group cooking class up until this...
Why You Should Hire a Caterer for Your Holiday Meals
So, you are in charge of the holiday dinner. It doesn’t matter if it’s a family dinner, company dinner, house party, Friendsgiving, potluck or whatever, there is literally nothing easier than outsourcing and hiring a professional caterer.
Listen, I know you have your grandmother’s old recipes and can order all of your groceries via Instacart. I understand that you can cook and just throw the dishes in the dishwasher or have the kids clean up. But do you really want to spend the entire week preparing to enjoy dinner only to be too tired? Not even! Just contact a reputable local caterer then kick back and really enjoy.

So Halloween has come and gone, and we carved a minimum of three pumpkins around here! While we use the pumpkin guts in our chicken or veggie stock, the kids always beg for roasted pumpkin seeds! We’ve had good years and mediocre years. But this year, we hit it out of the park!!
Now, I’m not a big recipe person and we were kind of winging it, so I do t have super precise measurements for you but here’s the gist:
We started by boiling the seeds in slightly salted water for 5 minutes.
Strain them pat them dry and now it’s time to get to work!
1 1/2 c pumpkin seeds
2-3 tbs olive oil
Generously sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. We used Cinnamon Toast...
My family and I recently traveled to Shreveport to attend the Louisiana Film Prize. We left Friday after work to pick up our little one from school and off we went. Our preferred one-stop shop: Love’s gas station on Highway 190 for fuel, the expected potty break and food. We arrived in Shreveport early enough to visit with family and observed our little one pretend to know how to play the piano with his musically talented Uncle sitting next to him.
The next morning, there was a little scrambling that occurred. We made arrangements for my mother-in-law to babysit our little one while hubby and I would watch the Orange slate of films. We found the hotel my in-laws were...
