Friday Food Finds | Super Bowl Snacks and Sweets

Cat Davis — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:32:34 +0000

I’ll admit, I didn’t watch much football this season, except for the game where the Chiefs whooped up on the undeafeted Packers. Now THAT was a sweet game because 1) the Chiefs were kinda pathetic this year and 2) I got to laugh so hard when they beat my dad’s precious Packers. However, despite not [...]

Two nights ago, I stood in front of my bathroom mirror in the wee hours of the night. In the 15 minutes I stood there, I looked at myself and picked apart every feature of my face that I hated. From the bags under my eyes, the shape of my lips, the little bump on [...]

GIVEAWAY | My Sweet Escape (to the Bath Tub) with Café Escapes

Cat Davis — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:00:52 +0000

Nearly every afternoon around 5:30-ish there’s a place I go to – my sweet escape. It’s not grand, tropical or even quiet but it’s peaceful and if I don’t forget to lock the door, it’s all mine. After a day of the girls bickering, an afternoon of my son’s incesent football statistics being drilled into [...]

Cat Davis — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:01:00 +0000

An estimated two million people a year undergo plastic surgery to get smoother skin, smaller saddlebags or a bigger bust. While most of them are old enough to make their own decisions and deal with the consequences, a few are children. For parents who see their children as nothing more than a reflection of themselves, [...]

Over-the-Top Banana Muffins with Oatmeal Crumble Topping

Cat Davis — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:30:17 +0000

Last week I bought a big bunch of green bananas knowing exactly what I’d be doing with them. Waiting. Waiting for them to turn spotty and over-ripened so I could put them to good use in some banana muffins. Last week I stumbled onto this recipe for banana bars and couldn’t resist the temptation. The recipe [...]

Tie Buddies

Once in a blue moon my husband comes to me begging asking me to help him tie his tie. Me? Really? He grew up in a church going house with a dad that wore his fair share of ties. Not me! I saw my dad in a tie one time in 20 years and that [...]

How Much Do You LOVE Avocados? #ILoveAvocados

Cat Davis — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:00:28 +0000

This post brought to you by Avocados from Mexico. All opinions are 100% mine. It was until this past year that I discovered the awesomeness of the avocado fruit. On the outside, it looks a bit scary but inside there’s a creamy texture just waiting to be paired with both sweet and savory ingredients. While [...]

Every week seems to present a new set of challenges when it comes to cooking new and different meals that the whole family loves. While we often find ourselves to be creatures of habit, especially when food is involved, occasionally I like to mix things up with something new and different. During the winter months, [...]
