Happy Taco Tuesday! And nothing like getting a Taco Tuesday post in way under the gun (like… after most people’s dinner time…). But hopefully you’ll be so inspired that you’ll bookmark this one for next Tuesday in the event that I missed you today! Because I am so excited about…

I promise I promise I haven’t given up on this blog!  For anyone that has been wondering “what the heck” since I’ve gone from my weekly posting schedule to once…. a…. [insert very irregular posting schedule here] arrangement, I promise it’s been for a good reason. Dave and I bought…

First of all I want to congratulate Cheyanne from No Spoon Necessary who was the winner of the Sweet Phi Cookbook giveaway!  Get excited for some amazing recipes coming your way, Cheyanne 🙂  If you’re a newcomer and don’t know about Phi’s cookbook, I’d highly recommend that you pop on…

Chili has a lovely little place in my heart that has not been well-represented on The Gourmet Gourmand. (My deepest apologies).  I discovered this lovely Short Rib Black Bean Chili recipe on The Beeroness’ lovely blog and I’ve been just itching to give it a go. And boy was I blown away…
