Derby Day Drinks: Watermelon Sweet Tea

I’ve never had any interest in watching the Kentucky Derby (I’m not a fan of any kind of animal racing,) but year after year I’m invited to stop by “Derby Day” themed parties and get-togethers, be it by friends of co-workers, which usually consist of a lot of snacks, a lot of colorful dresses, and […]

Festive Foodie: Chocolate-Covered Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

As I continue my holiday shopping and sort out my schedule when it comes to upcoming parties and get-togethers with friends and family (my planner is so full of stuff!)
