Bacon. It’s so good that even Michael Scott was willing to injure himself just to wake up to the smell of it cooking. There’s a craze surrounding it. Literally. There is a full Wikipedia page out there about bacon mania. We dip it in chocolate, wrap it around the outside of sandwiches, and even make …
If you don’t know what a s’more is, I’m going to have to direct you to this video from the Sandlot. “Hey, you want a s’more?” Actually, even if you do know what a s’more is, I’m still going to need you to watch that video. The scene is a classic and gave us not …
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there! I hope your kids are treating you right today and showing you the appreciation you deserve.

To those of you that celebrate it: Happy Easter! To those of you that don’t: you can still enjoy the candy sales that are about to come your way. So what if everything is egg-shaped? Half-priced chocolate and jelly beans is a deal you really can’t pass up. There is something about the coming of …
Easter is one of those holidays that seems to drive a lot of candy sales. What is an Easter basket without a giant, foil-wrapped chocolate bunny, a Cadbury Creme egg, or a box of Peeps? Besides the egg-shaped Reese’s, I always looked forward to that small carton of Robin’s Eggs. From the bright colors to …
My mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies. I know, I know. That’s something that most people could probably argue, but I have a whole family of Italians that agree with that fact.
