Here’s what happened next… After trying the Seagram’s Escapes Spiked “Slammin’ Me Happy,” I realized it just wasn’t my style on its own. It wasn’t bad—it just wasn’t for me. Instead of letting it sit in the fridge, I started thinking… “I bet I can turn this into something I’ll actually enj

I decided to make homemade French fries to go with my wings, and they turned out so good! One thing I learned is that soaking the potatoes in cold water with a pinch of salt for 30 minutes is definitely worth the extra time. It helps remove some of the starch so the fries cook up crispier on th

The Dress I Still Wish I Had Some outfits just stay with you. I don’t even own this dress anymore, but it was one of my favorites. The brown tone blended so well with my skin, and the oversized floral print made it stand out without feeling over the top. What I loved most was how it was d

I had so much fun putting together my last high-protein snack plate that I decided to make another one… this time to try the Crunchmaster Salt & Pepper Avocado Toast Inspired Crackers! These crackers have a bold savory flavor all on their own and paired perfectly with everything on my plate

These oven-baked ribs came out so tender they were practically falling off the bone! You don’t need a smoker or grill to make delicious ribs. A simple marinade, a homemade dry rub, and a low, slow bake in the oven will do the trick! Ribs • 3 lbs baby back ribs (2 slabs) Marinate the ribs

These aren’t your average baked beans… they’re homemade from scratch, and every bite was worth the wait! I started with dried Great Northern beans, slow-cooked them until tender, then combined them with seasoned ground beef, crispy bacon, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and a sweet, smoky homemad

TBT 1 year ago June 23rd Some days I wear all black. Some days it’s jeans and a tee. And some days… I throw on something colorful and let the outfit do the talking. I’ve never been the type to stick to one style. One day I’m edgy, the next I’m casual, and the next I’m wearing ruffles with d
