Since we’ve closed our business and are no longer catering crazy summer wedding seasons I thought I’d share with you a post I pulled off the old site of the day I officially hit culinary rock bottom and the kid had “crunchy banana” for dinner. I wrote this down about six years ago when we…
Individual Hawaiian Calzones
Anyone that has been following me since the beginning knows that there is a particular female host on the FoodTV that drives me bonkers. Not only is she loud and crass, but her recipes just don’t work. Many years ago my husband got me one of her cookbooks for Valentine’s Day, and I honestly doubt…

Tex-Mex vs. Mexican Food
Did you know there’s a difference between Tex-Mex and Mexican food? If you look around online, you’ll find lots of debate over which cooking style is better. Some “traditionalists” even question if Tex-Mex is an actual form of American cuisine. No matter where the debate goes, Tex-Mex has officially earned its place on the American…
I love Cafe Mocha
