Deviled Eggs, Four Ways

Jennifer Cario — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:21:52 +0000

Deviled eggs are one of those weird party foods, an afterthought for most, a treasured bite of memory inducing deliciousness for others. They are a mainstay at Baptist and Methodist potlucks and backyard BBQs in the south, but they are also showing up in various forms at farm to table restaurants and trendy eateries through […]

Buffalo Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs

I’ve written before about how I’ve learned to like different foods over the years and how each year opens up a new window of culinary adventures as I discover a new ingredient to play with and explore. Sometimes that discovery is a food like shrimp or sweet potatoes that can be used in a wide […]

I’m constantly looking for quick or easy dinners for my boyfriend and I to make on weeknights after work. I’m no Iron Chef, but I can cook a thing or too. We also love cooking together, so it is like a challenge to find new and interesting things for us to try. Thanks to Pinterest, […]

Enchiladas with White Sauce

Jennifer Cario — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:26:17 +0000

For the most part, I don’t cook a lot of “kid foods.” I can’t stand Mac n Cheese or Ramen Noodles; I’m not a fan of tomato soup, and I’m not sure my oven has seen a chicken nugget in six years. Don’t get me wrong, our eleven year old makes those first three meals […]

What do you do when you accidentally bought the most tooth-achingly sweet Pink Catawba you’ve ever tasted? You find a way to make it a cocktail. You may have caught my recent 5 Wineries in 5 Hours post. One of the wines I bought during that adventure was the Stone Villa Pink Catawba. It was […]

Pan Seared Sea Bass

Jennifer Cario — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:13:49 +0000

I first launched this site back in 2012 when I was doing research on Pinterest and writing my first book for print. While there was no shortage of tasty recipes posted back then, food photography was not a skill for which I had demonstrated even a lick of talent. That meant the pictures I posted […]

Pymatuning Reservoir – Where Ducks Walk on Fish

Jennifer Cario — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 11:44:43 +0000

Right on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, about an hour south of Lake Erie is a beautiful lake called Pymatuning. The lake runs right down the border of the two states, which means there are both Ohio State Campgrounds and Pennsylvania State Campgrounds. Twice a year, during the first weekend after school lets out and the last […]

Back to School Social Story for kids on the Spectrum

Johnna Batchler — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 12:00:26 +0000

The beginning of a new school year always brings about a myriad of emotions that can range from excitement and joy to nervousness and anxiety. For M and I, we have found that most of the nervousness and anxiety come from a lack of knowledge about the coming year. Early on in M’s school career, we began working […]

Classic Pasta Salad

Ariel Stuckey — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:00:04 +0000

I grew up going to family cookouts on a regular basis. We were a really close family, so close that many of us lived within walking distance of each other. We were the kind of family where everyone gathers at grandma and grandpa’s for Sunday breakfast each week. That means I spent almost every weekend […]

Custom, Printable Wine Labels

Ariel Stuckey — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 12:00:51 +0000

Recently, between my family and my coworkers I’ve spent a good deal of time at wineries. You might have caught a recent post about a day spent winery hopping with my aunts. Trips like that aren’t too far from the norm anymore, which I suppose might be part of my transition from college bars to […]
