You Go, Girl!
The phrase, "You Go, Girl" has become one of those empowering statements that says a lot about women and about the support of their peers.

Salad Sides for the Holidays
There are two salad sides that have been my wing men for gatherings at work and with family, and they have both been repeatedly invited back for following events. When it comes to potlucks and gatherings, I am not one that likes to fight for oven space or lug a crock pot around. I look for something that has good food and can be served cold. Both of these recipes are a great … [Read more...]
