Mini brownie me
Mini brownies in tasty mini sampler sizes
They say good things come in small packages. This is true for some things, but not all…
When it comes to my daughter’s skirts, I prefer maxi over mini.
When it comes to evening heels…the bigger the heel, the sexier the shoe.
Diamonds… enough said.
When it comes to brownies, normally I say the bigger the better… unless you’re on a diet. In that case, mini works out just fine. Now I can have my brownie cakes and eat them too with this Half Dozen Sampler of Mini Brownies from The Exceptional Brownie. I love getting to sample three delicious flavors, and so does my waistline.
Up to date
Stuffed dates stuffed with tasty pecans and chocolate dipped dates
When it comes to dates, I say stuff it.
If you’re a fruit that’s healthy or good for me, I’m generally not that into you. Apples I like, other fruits, not so much, and don’t even think of giving me a piece of melon. Although dates are considered healthy, they’re also considered sweet, plump, juicy and delicious, especially the Medjool varieties which are often jumbo sized which makes them perfect for stuffing.
Everything tastes better with a pecan or other tasty nut stuffed inside of it. Everything tastes even better when you smother it in rich, delicious chocolate. These Pecan Stuffed Dates and Chocolate Dipped Dates from Sphinx Date Ranch & Southwest Market are a match made in dating heaven.
Need I say smore?
Smore maker makes yummy smores, 3 at a time
I’ve been on a strict, no sweet diet for what seems like all eternity. Ignoring the occasional chocolate urge, (or supressing it with cornicopious amounts of veggies) I have successfully prohibited myself from enjoying the sweeter edible things in life. After my daughter’s birthday I spent an entire week bringing in leftover sweet treats to share at the office - cake, doughnuts, cookies. I still look smashing, my co-workers gained 5 pounds.
I just returned from a vacation to Boston for the 4th of July. I celebrated the birth of America by taking in the beauty of the Cape Cod Bay while eating gooey, delicious smores (some say s’mores, I don’t need the apostrophe). I hadn’t had a smore in decades, and sans my trusted band of sweet eating co-workers, I had no choice but to submit. Now I want to eat smores round the clock, and I can with this Campfire Smore Maker from Gooseberry Patch.
I’m biting off smore than I can chew.
I’m cuckoo for cocoa cups
Best K Cups for the best cups of coffee, tea or cocoa
Our office recently acquired a new, shiny deluxe Keurig Single-cup brewer in the kitchen and I was ecstatic. We’re in the middle of a recession and my AM Starbucks runs were the first luxury to go. Our boss brought in a huge box of the best K Cups in my humble opinion, the Hot Cocoa ones from Green Mountain Coffee, and I couldn’t wait to enjoy my first cup of delightfully rich and creamy cocoa goodness. Little did I know I was not Keurig inclined.
I pranced into the kitchen with my cocoa K Cup, head held high. I admired the sleek craftsmanship and finish, removed the foil top from my K Cup, placed it in the machine and waited. A “Not Ready” warning flashed, so I waited patiently for my mid-day treat. Twenty minutes or so passed with me standing there, occasionally glancing at the vending machine. Perhaps I’d have some Biscotti with my cocoa…and then all cocoa hell broke loose.
Get well fruit basket saves sick girl’s life
These Get Well fruit baskets make fresh n’ fruity get well gifts
I was a sick girl last week.
It was bad. I looked like hell, felt like I had been hit by Chris Brown and came very close to calling the Department of Disease Control because I was convinced I had somehow contracted bird flu.
I couldn’t eat, couldn’t drink and it hurt to blink. Naturally my work suffered, but I am now back on track and in a state of total recovery thanks to this Get Well Fruit Basket my co-workers sent me from Pemberton Farms. It made my day. They must think I’m pretty sic.
I’ve got a thing for tarts
These mini tarts fulfill all of my hot tart cravings
A man can never have too many tarts sitting around.
I especially love a good tart after a hard day at work, after a nightcap, just before bed and twice every year on my Birthday. The guys at David’s Cookies offer a scrumptiously appetizing individual assortment of Mini Fruit Tarts that give me a rush every time I need some sugar.
Make no mis-steak, this marinade rocks
Easy steak marinade to perfect your steak eating game
Back in my high school glory days I was quite the basketball hero. As a power forward I’d get nothing but net out there on the court. I can almost hear the cheers that would emanate from the crowd as I hung from the net, legs dangling in the air. My knees aren’t what they used to be, but I still love playing a game of hoops every now and then with my boy and rewarding my fine athletic skills after a brutal game of HORSE with a juicy 24 oz porterhouse steak.
Thankfully, the King of B-ball - the legendary Michael Jordan - brings me mail order steaks fit for a King, as well as all of the proper accoutrements. Michael Jordan Steaks serves up The Ultimate Starting Line up of delicious Steak Marinades with a set of sauces that slam dunk it out of the ball park, every time.
These cupcakes Ba-rock
Themed cupcakes featuring Barack Obama make tasty Presidential treats
I’m a Republican. This election was particularly difficult for me, with many Democratic supporters, friends, co-workers and colleagues urging me to cross party lines and vote for the Obama/Biden ticket (especially Trish- Ms. Yes We Can).
I was hesitant at first, but these Obama Themed Cupcakes from Mrs. Beasley’s almost made me switch over. Go ahead, call me a traitor, Cindy McCain would’ve switched over too if she had tried one of these cupcakes.
Wake up and smell the coffee maker
Keurig and the coffee maker of my dreams
If I don’t have my coffee in the morning, I’m of no use to anyone. Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t breathe near me. Try it and beware of the Wrath of Linda. That’s right, it’s so bad, it’s italicized. Times are tight and I’m tired of spending gas on numerous coffee runs, so I’m thinking it’s time to invest in a new coffee maker that will keep me properly caffeinated. This Breville Keurig Single Cup Brewer from Green Mountain Coffee® isn’t just a coffee maker, it’s my coffee savior.
They call him Big Red

Simple fact- big guys love big live lobsters
Bigger is better. No doubt about it. When it comes to food, cars, flat screen TV’s, all men will concur. Super Size us. From burgers to steaks, ribs to seafood…give us a Fred Flintstone-sized portion and we’ll be happy.
This big live lobster from Simply Lobsters is no exception. Feast your eyes on three pounds of deliciously juicy lobster meat just waiting to come out of his hard shell.
Virginia Peanuts are for lovers
Gifts of peanut brittle for people you like
I heart Virginia. Arlington. The Virgina Tech Hokies. It’s common knowledge that Virginia Beach is for lovers. Apparently I didn’t get the memo because my travel companion was far from lovely and not the least bit lovable…and no, it wasn’t John McCain. It was no honeymoon, but taking a trip to the good ol’ Virginia Diner made it all worth it. I picked up tons of Peanut Brittle gifts for all of the people I did love. I should’ve gone to Virginia Beach with them.
Gone South for the pecans
A gift basket that’s affordable, and chock full of nuts
Gift baskets rule. Affordable gift baskets rule even more. Who doesn’t love receiving a gift basket filled with rich, decadent treats? If you know anyone, give them my address. I’d be more than happy to take those gift baskets off their hands, especially if it’s this Southern Pride Gift Basket from Savannah’s Candy Kitchen.
