GRILLED CORN AND POTATO SALAD – NAPA ROSE
THE DISNEY CHEF

Summer is a season all about fresh vegetables, cool salads, picnics, and grilling.  This recipe combines the absolute best of all of these summer perks!  Grilled vegetables and a sour cream dressing along with crisp fresh herbs blend together for a potato salad worth having a picnic for!


Frozen Butterbeer Recipe
Rae Gun
I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making a Frozen Butterbeer Recipe ever since I visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter a few years ago. Since we’re closing out this year’s Happy Harry Potter series I thought it was the perfect time. This recipe is so easy and yummy you’ll feel like you’re at The Three Broomsticks.


lemon sunshine baking cup cookies
hoopla palooza

although these cookies do require you to turn your oven on, the baking time is so quick you can get back to your normal tortured summer heat of a cool 90+ degrees.


Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers
Life With The Crust Cut Off

Hey guys!  Today I am going to talk to you a little bit about everybody’s favorite thing, bacon!!  We all love bacon right?  Some people might even think all bacon is created equally, wrong!  Some people might also think bacon is just for breakfast, double wrong!!


The People God Uses
Doorkeeper


To the discouraged blogger who is thinking about giving up
My Love for Words

Dear discouraged blogger, I know you feel like you’ve had it. You’re just don’t feel cut out for this blogging thing.


Homemade & Baked Chocolate Donuts
My Heavenly Recipes

One of our guilty pleasures are Chocolate Donuts. But, with this Momma on a lifestyle change and eating healthier these Baked Chocolate Donuts have become a weekend regular around here!


No-bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups with Cherries Recipe
Upstate Ramblings

A few weeks ago my husband and I were out for dinner, and the restaurant had Oreo Cheesecake on the menu.  We were too full for dessert, but I decided I had to make Oreo Cheesecake for the family.  Since it has been so hot I didn’t want to run the oven, and decided to create No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Cups for the family to enjoy.


Latest Crochet Creations
Life Breath Present

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting back to crafting, specifically crochet, which makes me oh so happy! It’s just a wonderful feeling to see something come together. Neither of these projects are solely mine, as I’ve used patterns created by others. But, when something is just so beautiful, why reinvent the wheel, right?


White Chocolate Cookies with Strawberry Buttercream
Homemade Hooplah

I’m having one of those weeks where it feels like I’m working twice but for half the result. I know it’ll pay off in the long run, but for right now, it feels a bit like I’m wearing myself running in one place. I’m being a little vague on what’s going on, but that’s on purpose – my busy week has a lot to do with all the marketing and promoting I’m doing for this blog, and I’m sure you don’t want to read about that any more than I want to write about it.

Hooked on Coffee?

Does anybody out there like coffee?  Am I the only coffee addicted person in the world?

I love to wake up and smell the wonderfully rich aroma of coffee.  


If you can't get by without that morning jolt or afternoon pick-me-up, you could have a caffeine addiction.  Do you rely on your morning coffee to get you out the door — and reach for another cup as soon as you get to work?  Or maybe you are like me and stop on the way to work for the second cup.  Yep, I drink a cup of coffee on my way to Starbucks each morning to buy a cup of coffee.
Definitely addicted.


 At work I have my Keurig turned ON with ample cups ready.
This coffee sign hangs over my coffee station.

Did you know that up to 90% of adult Americans consume coffee every day. Most commonly about two cups of each day. Many people who consume coffee on a regular basis report that they experience a variety of unpleasant symptoms when this popular stimulant is withdrawn, similar to the symptoms felt with the withdrawal of other addictive substances.

  • headache, fatigue, or drowsiness;
  • depressed, irritable mood;
  • difficulty concentrating;
  • flu-like symptoms of nausea and/or vomiting;
  • and muscle pain or stiffness.

  • As for me I looooooove my morning coffee and then my morning Starbucks.  My afternoon Starbucks that I get on my home from work is equally satisfying.  Starbucks should really be paying me for this post, LOL.

    Pour yourself another cup and enjoy the moment!  Hot or Cold, it's all good!
