Continue ReadingI made it my goal this year to work hard enough to be able to spend even more time at the lake. I succeeded in reaching my goal and have been lucky to spend a lot of the Summer in the place I love the most.

The Crockpot isn’t just for Fall anymore! The best thing about…

Continue ReadingHave you heard of Detroit Style Pizza? I hadn’t until the Food Network reached out to me to ask if they could use one of my Instagram Photos for an upcoming episode of The Kitchen featuring Detroit Style Pizza. Sure I said, why not. I was confused what my photo of Brick Cheese had to do with it, but after watching the episode, and being disappointed they didn’t say my name, I knew what Detroit Style Pizza was all about. I decided I wanted to make it so I started doing some research. There are several unique things when making…
