Last Wednesday, my husband and I picked our daughter up from school on her early dismissal day (1:05pm), and we all headed to Chuck E. Cheese's for a mid-week break. It really felt like playing hooky!

Wednesdays are usually one of our busiest days filled with school, after school activities, work, homework, laundry, etc.

Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) starts on November 1st. So we've partnered with Red Diamond Wine to share some fun and easy Day of the Dead cocktail party ideas.

I think Day of the Dead is a beautiful way to remember those who've passed. I love that the celebrations typically include bright colors, luscious foods, and of course decorated skulls, which tie in nicely with Halloween.

It's almost Thanksgiving, and I came up with this easy rustic floral centerpiece that would look beautiful on your table this Thanksgiving. And my inspiration... Charmin toilet paper. :)

I was asked by Charmin to share how at Thanksgiving, when you're thinking about stocking up on food and drinks, you should also stock up on Charmin Mega Rolls, so you don't run out of toilet paper for your guests.

These garlic sausage pesto appetizer bites are the perfect dish to serve to your guests this holiday season! And I promise you won't be able to eat just one, and nor will your guests.

The star ingredient is the garlic Johnsonville Summer Sausage. The sausage is filled with the best cuts of meat and smoked over real hardwoods, and you can definitely taste it in it's smoky, rich, umami flavor. Plus I added a dab of pesto, some jack cheese, bell pepper, and scallions to each bite. And it's all held together in a little cup of phyllo dough.
