I actually made Queso Fundido (Pioneer Woman style) for the Super Bowl ages and ages ago, but I got the flu right after that. Somehow, posting a blog about cheesy deliciousness seemed like a bad idea at the time. Not now. I just had a flashback to all of that cheesy awesome and wanted to…
Hummus Wraps and Golf Caddies
First things first, we made The Pioneer Woman’s Heavenly Hummus Wraps last night for dinner, and they lived up to their name. Mmm. Just so that you can immediately understand the deliciousness, here’s what you’re looking at on top of the wrap: caramelized red onion slices, hummus, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, mixed greens (with…
Go Bold
One of my college roommates taught me a valuable lesson.

Real Comfort
As Jane Austen put it, “There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.” I believe that gem is from Emma, which is my least favorite Austen work, and it still has great quotes. This morning, I tried desperately to get geared up for my evening at work, but I really wanted to wrap…
