We love to entertain, especially during the holidays. We deck out the house and compile a shopping list to feature some of our favorite foods.

Here’s the yummy truth of my adoration for the love of olives. I love them green, I love them black, I love them Kalamata, I love them spicy, I love them all. Perhaps I will find an olive entree soon, but until that day we’ll eat them as a condiment, a side dish, an […]

A few weeks ago a comment came in about the Oreo Cookie pie crust I used to create the Play In The Mudd Pie. One of Exploits readers was cool enough to write in to tell me that when she had looked up the ingredient list of the crust on the Nabisco website, the list […]
