Okay, so, my son’s getting hitched. Time flies, right? We had this rehearsal dinner the other night, and I, as the proud father of the groom, had to give a speech. Now, I’m no public speaker, but I figured I couldn’t just mumble a few words and call it a day. This was a big moment, for him and for us. First off, I knew I had to make everyone feel welcome. Greeted the guests, thanked them for coming, you know, the usual host stuff. Then, I started thinking, what’s…

Okay, so I tried making these dinner roll bunnies that I saw online, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride! I’m no expert baker, but the pictures looked so darn cute, I just had to give them a shot. Getting Started First, I had to choose whether to use the store-bought frozen dough to make things easy or to make things from scratch. I opted for the homemade route, because why not, right? The recipe was simple enough, just your basic yeast dough with flour, water, yeast,…

Okay, so, I tried to make these dinner plate flowers. It’s kinda cool, you know? I saw some pictures online and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” First off, I went and got myself some of those big flower seeds. I live in a place that’s kinda like zone 4, you know, cold winters, not too hot summers, kinda like Minnesota. I planted them outside cause that’s what people online were saying you should do. After I put them in the ground, I just gave them a good watering…

Alright, so I had this craving for a romantic dinner in Santa Fe, and I heard about this place called “Dinner For Two.” Sounded just right, right? I decided to dig in and see what they had on the menu. First, I did a quick search online to get a feel for the place. I found out it’s a family-owned joint, which is always a plus. They’ve been around since 2002, so they must be doing something right! It’s located downtown, just a few blocks from the historic plaza. I…

Okay, so, I’ve been craving something sweet and I thought, why not make some cookies and cream chocolate? I mean, who doesn’t love Oreos, right? They are, like, the best-selling cookies in the world, and for good reason! So, I started rummaging through my pantry. I grabbed a couple of bars of white chocolate that I had lying around. Then I remembered I had a whole pack of Oreos that I bought last week, just waiting to be devoured. I got those out too, feeling all excited like a kid…

Hey everyone, I just got back from an amazing evening and I had to share all about it! I decided to book a dinner cruise in Pensacola, FL, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember. I’d been eyeing this for a while, and finally, the stars aligned, and I made it happen. It all started with some online searching – gotta love the internet for making things easy. I looked up “dinner cruise Pensacola FL” and a bunch of options popped up. After browsing through a…

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with these cookie sheets lately, the ones with the plastic lids. It all started because I wanted a better way to store my leftover cookies and other baked goods. I hate using plastic wrap, it’s such a pain, and those big containers take up too much space in my fridge. First, I went to a couple of stores to check out what they had. I saw a few different kinds, some with plain aluminum and some with this non-stick coating. I also noticed that…

Alright, so I wanted to make some cookies the other day, but I realized I was all out of brown sugar. Bummer, right? But then I thought, “Hey, why not try making them without it?” So I did a little digging around online, found a few ideas, and decided to just go for it. First, I grabbed my usual cookie ingredients: flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. You know, the standard stuff. I creamed together the butter and white sugar like I always do. It felt…

So, the other day I was craving something sweet, and not just any sweet, but something special, something like those Italian fritters I’ve heard so much about. I’ve never made them before, but how hard could it be, right? I mean, I’m pretty good in the kitchen, so I thought, “Let’s give this a shot.” First thing I did was to check out what I needed. Apparently, the ingredients for these fritters are pretty basic: flour, eggs, sugar, a little yeast. Nothing fancy, which is great because I already had…

Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this thing I did last summer in Ocean City, Maryland. It was a dinner cruise, and let me tell you, it was something else. I’d heard about these things, seen them in movies, you know, where couples have this romantic evening on the water. So I thought, why not? Let’s give it a shot. First off, I looked up some options online. There are a few companies that offer these cruises. I checked out some reviews on Yelp, places like Sea Rocket and…
