You wouldn’t think a 3 hour time difference would be that big of deal … but let me tell you, my body says otherwise. Somehow, going from the east coast to the west coast seemed a lot easier than coming from the California back to North Carolina. I’m hating it … I feel like I…

Eastern NC Pork and BBQ Sauce
I’m not a native East North Carolinian …. but I do appreciate their pulled pork and BBQ. Mmmmm mhhmmm! Some good stuff right there! I grew up with the traditional thick, tomato-y, slightly spicy stuff you’re probably accustomed to also. Out here, they do things different … and believe me, it’s a good thing! They…

Soft Italian Breadsticks
For future reference, I am a carb-aholic! I love bread, cookies, pasta, pizza, cakes … there is just something about them that kindles fond memories for me. Over the years, I have taken what I have learned from watching my mom, grandma, and aunts in the kitchen – into my own. I have found there…
