I love Christmas. Let it be known now. I do. The lights, the smells, the mad rush to get it all together and spend a couple of terse hours with loved ones wondering if they are going to love your presents as much as you hoped and dreamed only to crush said dreams with a [...]

I have been swamped, covered, run-over, over scheduled. You name it, I can lay claim to it. Meaning I didn’t finish my Halloween Food Series and just want to cry! I still have the makings for clumping together my blood clots and pus in the fridge. Just ready to be put in a dessert glass. [...]

Did you know that pedestrian related accidents involving children on Halloween is four times higher than any other time of the year? When I was much younger, I remember [...]

I love Halloween. Maybe it’s because I celebrate my birthday a few days before, but for me there is no better time. There is something about leaves crunching underfoot, the gloriousness of the color carpeting the forests, and the crisp air. More importantly, I am blessed to live in an area that has four seasons [...]

I have been quite the busy bee lately, all involving A Daily Pinch. I am working on an entire Halloween food series for families, parties, what have you, complete with recipes and photos. Halloween has always held a soft spot for me as I was born just a few days before. This past Friday I [...]
