Do you ever just crave a meatball? Do you ever just crave a meatball with peaches? How about bourbon? Yes I was craving all of these things at once. I promise you I am not a lush. I do not sip on tumblers of straight bourbon every night. Only days that end in “y.” Ha, …

Let’s talk about cake. Let’s talk about how I completely screwed this cake up yesterday. Now, let’s talk about how the struggle was totally worth it in the end. I may have mentioned before that I am not a huge cake baker. Cupcakes I can do, but when it comes to actually cake cakes, I’m …

Here’s the thing…I really wanted to start this week as “ice pop” week. The problem is that no store in my area carries ice pop molds in the middle of February. Actually, I take that back. One store had them, but they were the cheapo brand and I could just have seen it breaking the …

Sometimes you just crave a sandwich. We eat a lot of sandwiches, and if your name is Zach, then you like to make meat and cheese only sandwiches…and roll them up. I know, he just gets stranger and stranger as the days roll on. I literally have to keep a stockpile of muenster cheese and …

Well it’s the weekend, and we were craving something super sweet and breakfast(y). We haven’t done a true breakfast in a while, so what the heck. We combined all of our favorite ingredients into one scrumptious pancake. These buttermilk pancakes are stuffed with bananas, walnuts and dark chocolate chips, and it’s everything you could imagine …
