Cupcakes and Commentary

It isn’t often that our city is turned into an Ansel Adams portrait. We received the most snow our city ever has on Christmas Day. As we went into the living room to get ready for Christmas morning I looked out the window and exclaimed “SNOW!” My husband grumbled something referencing “Huntsville snow” and I [...]

During my first year of college, this was one of my sister’s signature dishes. Besides hot dogs in croissants and that sour cream chicken casserole (so good! I need to post that) this was definitely one of my favorites. Now that it is below freezing (literally! I’m not exaggerating!), Monday night seemed like a good [...]
