A guide to making life a little more fabulous

You know how that guacamole salad is all fresh and healthy? These nachos are basically the opposite of that.

When I started thinking about our Super Bowl party, I immediately decided I wanted to make pulled pork and chili.

I wanted some Eastern North Carolina-style vinegar barbecue sauce for the pulled pork, but I figured I couldn’t buy it in Maryland.

I’ve been thinking about pimento cheese since January, when I saw this post by Camille at Creative Pursuits.

I still have a lot more from our Hawaii trip I want to share with you.
