I have to give a huge shout out to a couple of friends on this killer recipe – to Tony, who inspired me with his fish dish (which has ALL of the things – snapper, shrimp and crab), and to Carolyn, the super awesome fisher-woman who recently gifted me what I believe to be ALL … Continue reading

Day 48: Locking it Down with CPM (social distancing)
At CPM we are loving social distancing! Maybe we’re a little crazy, but hear us out: Social distancing is our favorite. We would like people to stand 6 feet away in perpetuity.

Apocalypse Pasta

Add a little bit of off brand sour cream that no one really liked, powdered ranch dressing powder that I impulse bought at Costco a few months ago, … Continue reading
Snoop Dogg’s Rolls Royce PB Chocolate Chip Cookies
For those that know me, you’ll either describe my musical taste as “questionable” or “AWSOME”!!! I think it’s the latter. I mostly survive on gangster rap and heavy metal, laced with classic rock and R&B. And, I’ve been havin’ Snoop Dogg on my playlist since I was maybe 12. (Translation for people my age: playlist … Continue reading
