National Coffee Day | Demystifying Coffee Jargon | Make It At Home Directions
by 7 Comments
Coffee language can be so confusing. When my daughter sends me to the drive thru to pick up her favorite beverage I am always overwhelmed with the verbiage... it can confuse you and almost make you cry!

In honor of National Coffee Day … [Read more...]

by 13 Comments
My family adores Mexican food, but my small repertoire of tacos, burritos and nachos were getting a little tiring. After a little searching I ran across this recipe for Taco Casserole.

The rest of us mix in some sour cream and maybe some guacamole and devour it. Taco Casserole … [Read more...]
