Spending Time in the Kitchen: Looking Back –and Forward- at Cooking in 2013 & 2014
December 16, 2013 | 
Author I am a new contributor to Foodie.com a food & drink/cooking network and this is a post sponsored by Foodie.com. If you know me at all, you know that I don’t do anything I don’t believe in nor do I do anything I don’t want to do. I just had the opportunity to noodle around their site and find that they had tons of recipes that resonated with me – and gave me inspiration to write this post — and even better to think about cooking new things!

Holiday Sips and Nibbles!! Great Wines to Try and Snacks to Pair with Wines!
YES!! It’s the big cooking day of the year and I am here to give you some great wine choices. Generally there should be a big liquor store near you that is open. If not, then hopefully you have a wine or too that will fit into this bill. Here in Southern California there is typically a market or two or a large convenience store with an array of wine, spirits and snacks that can do the duty. Given that I started stocking up about 6 weeks ago, I am ready to rock and roll!
