I am kind of over pumpkin. ‘Tis the season for the pumpkin latte, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin mac and cheese, pumpkin oatmeal, and pumpkin EVERYTHING. I swear if I see another pumpkin recipe I may start punching things. It isn’t that I dislike pumpkin – in fact I really like it – but SO many people [...]

I have been something of a baby lately. As you may know, I have been on a medical scavenger hunt for almost two months now. I have already endured numerous tests, trips to the emergency room, and visits to doctors and specialists. For as long as I can remember I have hated doctors. I may [...]

I think I may have a little-itty-bitty problem. It is not a serious problem, but it is a little consuming. I can’t seem to stop craving chocolate and coconut. With that said, please excuse me for yet another chocolate and coconut dessert. I pinky-swear that the next few desserts will be sans coconut, and I [...]

Oh baby, it is COLD outside! The Dallas area, and most areas in the Mid-west, are enduring what I am unofficially calling ‘Ice-pocalypse 2011′. Around the Evil Shenanigans homestead the temperatures hovering around 15 F, while ice and gusty winds have made travel and work nearly impossible. When I get cooped up indoors during this [...]
