I found myself in Tupelo, Mississippi and it was early morning, time for some breakfast and a great big cup of coffee. When I am traveling, I find most of my places to eat by either word of mouth from the locals or by doing research on Yelp or Trip Advisor. While in Tupelo I …

Well this recipe has come just in time, no? Hello Maple Blueberry Breakfast Quinoa! Quinoa is so versatile and I have used it before as …
Last December as I was laying on the couch, my foot in a cast, I found out I had been selected as a member of the Rock ‘n’Roll Marathon Series #RocknBlog team for 2015. I really wanted to jump for joy- literally- only I was just a few weeks out of surgery where my foot …
There are a few things the city of St. Louis is known for – The Gateway Arch, The St. Louis Cardinals and gooey butter cake. Yes, that’s right- gooey butter cake. Gooey butter cake is so big here- it originated here and most every bakery in town serves it. The first Gooey Butter Cake I …
