Earn Free Amazon Gift Cards with SwagBucks

I have to admit, when I first heard about SwagBucks, I wrote them off as a waste of time or an Internet scam. Over the past few months, I have been reading more and more about them. People I know report that they are getting lots of Amazon Gift Cards just by using their search engine. One money saving blog I read even reported that she buys all of her diapers for her children exclusively paid by SwagBucks. I do love Google, but if another company …

Sweet Potato Cornbread

My family loves to go to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for vacation. We have been going there since I was a child, and of course have our list of favorite restaurants that we *have* to hit each trip. Last year, we tried out a new place called The Sea Shack, a small hole-in-the wall kind of place that consistently has lines running out the door because of their excellent food. The food was certainly good, but one particular item struck my interest: Sweet Potato Cornbread. …

Even Free can come at a cost

Value is an interesting word to define. It’s based partly on market standards, but grounded in individual perspective. An old phrase comes to mind: “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.

Crawfish Bisque

As much as I love eating crawfish, it came as a surprise when I realized that I had never actually cooked with them. They were on sale at my local grocery recently, and so I picked up a pound and a half. Even with the hot weather we have been having, I knew that either a gumbo or bisque was in the making. I don’t know about you, but for me… a good, rich, bisque can be a truly wonderful thing.

They were actually really easy to work …

Free Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Through this Saturday, June 5th, Chick-fil-A is giving away coupons for FREE Spicy Chicken Sandwiches! Just go to getspicychicken.com and sign up. The coupons are limited to a certain number per location, but hopefully there will still be some left at your local store.

As you can see, I picked one up tonight. Simply put, I loved it. Chick-fil-A has always had one of the best chicken sandwiches in my opinion, but when you toss in a spicy kick to their breading, oh wow! Don’t worry, …

It’s a Boy!

Time to finally share my most recent creation. My wife and I have been baking up a bouncing baby boy! We are about 21 weeks along now, and everything is going well. Obviously, at this stage, we don’t really know a lot, except that he currently weighs just under 1 lb. Well, that, and that the ultrasound lady saw boy parts, so there is a little boy chef on the way.
Couldn’t wait to share with everyone.
Stay tuned for more… in about 4 months.
