Super Bowl Chili: You NEED To Make This

By //  by Dee Brun 1 Comment

I worked on this recipe for 3 years. This is why I call it.. THE BEST CHILI EVA or for the purposes of this post, Super Bowl Chili. It has a real mole flare with the coffee and cocoa powder and just a touch of cinnamon. I firmly believe it will spoil you for all other chili forever. Do come back and let me know if I'm right, ok?

Super Easy Sugar Cookies for Christmas

By //  by Life In Pleasantville 1 Comment

For the last few years, I’ve leaned towards DIY Christmas gifts for my loved ones – in part because budgeting for gifts is extremely difficult on a single income, but also because I love making things. After spending hours and hours trying to decide what the “best” gift for this person or that person might be, I threw caution to the wind last year and made almost every gift I gave. It was awesome.

I need time to get my brain ready long before I can think of actually making plans and shopping for the season. On top of all that, this year we are now new owners of a bed and breakfast. Can you say mental break down? I decided to put a few things into perspective when it comes to this year's holiday …

How to Stock your Bar

Let the CLINK CLINK games begin! How to Stock Your Bar for the Holidays

By //  by Dee Brun Leave a Comment

Well once again it is "THAT" time of the year..."THAT" time to... deck the halls, trim the tree , silver your bells and put on your happy host face. You know what helps with that happy host face? BOOZE! Unless your guest list includes Kid Rock, P. Diddy and Charlie Sheen, stocking your bar for a looming seasonal event is really quite simple. The key thing to remember is that, just as in life, you can’t make everyone happy. (Relatives are always proof of this. If Uncle Ted enjoys a nip of a …
