One of my most favorite meals in the whole world is a grilled steak (like a really really great steak) topped high with a pile of sweet caramelized onions. Oh I’m thinking about it now, at 11pm, wishing I had one in front of me. I have issues. I should go get in bed, not… Read Post
Every year about 3 days before the Super Bowl we start getting emails and comments asking when we’re doing a post about football party food. And every year we say, “shoot, ya we should do that!” So this year I actually thought about it ahead of time and put it on our calender so we… Read Post
I discovered this recipe a few years ago when I was kind feeling lost in my life, a few months before Sara and I started this blog.

How are y’all doing on your holiday baking? Some people might assume that Kate and I spend hours each day creating beautiful baskets full of gourmet goodies to pass out to family and friends all month long.
