Skip to Recipe I know, I know…there are a million and one recipes out there for egg bites. This was why I hesitated to post a recipe for a while. But, last week a coworker forgot her breakfast at home, so I offered her some of my egg bites. She recently started a diet, and

Skip to Recipe Back in July, I brought a batch of red, white, and blue jello shots to an Independence Day party. They went over very well, and the hostesses requested the recipe. Sure, I said, I will put the recipe on the blog as soon as I can. I just need an excuse to
Skip to Recipe After last week’s Halloween shenanigans, I had some leftover raspberry sauce. Now, I hate letting stuff go to waste, even if it’s just a tiny bit of raspberry sauce. I considered pouring it over ice cream, but I had all of that white chocolate left over from my failed attempts at white
