Spicy Crockpot Whole Chicken is an easy and clean recipe I  found on Pinterest but it comes from Food.com.  Because the first whole chicken I cooked in the crockpot was so easy (check it out here) and tasty I knew I’d love this one!  It’s spicy, how could I not?

It’s been quite some time since I first tried the Kali Hart Chardonnay by Talbott Vineyards.  (You can read about it here.) I thought Chardonnay was the only wine from the Kali Hart line.  So naturally I wanted to try the Pinot Noir when I saw it.

My first installment of Boozy Cupcakes was an experiment for a baby shower I helped throw this past weekend.  It was a co-ed baby shower with lots of BBQ, beer and cupcakes!  When planning the shower we started with the invitation utilizing the colors of the baby’s nursery:

A couple of weekends ago we ventured out to Winewood Grill (Grapevine) for a fun dinner with friends.  There were 9 of us and we were quite a group but our waiter was a good sport putting up with us.  Our group was setup outside on the covered, partially enclosed patio.  I say partially enclosed because about

I stumbled upon the Mettler Petite Sirah this week and had to buy it. Remember how the Mettler Zinfandel was so impressive? (if not you can read about it here.) Well they did it again with their Petitie Sirah!

My friend Kandice over at Barque and Bite shared with me her recipe for a homemade knockoff version of Zuppa Toscana a few years back.  This soup is rich with flavor and warmth.  I loved it from the first time I made it.  In fact it wasn’t until after I made it a couple times that I finally went to Olive Garden

Playing with graphic design has always been fun for me!  Over the last year I’ve had several friends and family members get married or have babies and I’ve been able to put that hobby to good use designing shower invitations.  I just updated my Etsy Shop with my most recent shower invitation designs.  Here is a preview of the designs:

This Easy Italian Crockpot Chicken was an experiment that I think turned out pretty good!  It’s really easy and you could even probably add a few more spices or herbs if you want depending on the sauce you use.

Now that the USPS has announced that they will be no longer delivering first class mail on Saturdays starting this August, everyone is abuzz about it.  I’ve heard tons of people say they wish they sent more snail mail letters.  And I’ve even run across a few posts challenging people to take the time to stop what

My friend V and I try to get together at least once a month to catch up; sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn’t.  For our last get together we tried out the new arrival to Mockingbird Station in Dallas: Mockingbird Taproom.  We both love to try new places, so this spot was perfect.

I was the first to arrive so I ordered a Revolver Blood & Honey beer while I waited.  Mockingbird Taproom

I know I blogged about Middle Sister wines twice, Back in 2009.  I’ve had it again since then but since I hadn’t tried any new varietals so I hadn’t mentioned them again.  On my last trip to Target I just couldn’t resist the adorable packaging when I stumbled upon the Middle Sister Pinot Noir.  

I have to be honest, the first time I made this Clean Easy Teriyaki Crockpot Chicken recipe I totally botched it.  I had no idea you could actually ruin a meal that is being prepared in the crockpot…well now I know you can! Learned that the hard way!  On my first attempt I cut up the chicken into bite size pieces
