I have a confession. This may come as a shock to you being that I have a cooking blog and love to cook but… Right now, I hate cooking. It’s true.

It’s here!!! Summerrrrr! Cookouts, fresh foods, warm sun, the beach, vacations! Although summer isn’t my favorite season, I’m trying to learn to enjoy it for what it is and soak up some of this beautiful sunlight! Here are a few of my favorite hot weathered food recipes on Divas Can Cook!! (Browse around my site if you’re looking for a specific recipe, these are just

If I had to pick one flavor to sum up my childhood it would be vanilla, hands down! From the scent of mom’s vanilla candles she’d burn every Saturday morning while cleaning to the taste of my grandmothers highly requested vanilla pound cakes, vanilla simply ruled!

Today we’re going to be doing something a bit different! I won’t be sharing a recipe in this post, but instead let’s shoot the breeze about the good ol’ American kitchen!

Often times here in the Divas Can Cook kitchen I’ll cook up a recipe only to decide it’s not good enough for my “best friends in my head” (that would be you). Sometimes I’ll nix the recipe altogether but often times I’ll put it in my “Recipes in Rehab” folder. This folder consists of recipes that are really good but just need a little something

FINALLY I’ve joined Ziplist! A lot of you guys have asked me about it and I’ve been procrastinating for the longest. (I’m horrible at putting stuff off) but this year I am determined to stay focused and just “get’er done!” when it comes to many areas of my life, including my blog.  I’ve remodeled my blog a little.

How are those New Years Resolutions coming along guys? I’ve already started slacking off a bit when it comes to eating less sugar (my major weakness. Gosh I love sweeeeets!) but I’m determined to stick with this goal. It’s all about baby steps, refocusing and making smarter choices. In comes Truvia® because I am NOT about to give up my overly sweet daily coffee, no

I grew up in a home with a very creative grandmother who could put together homemade meals in a snap. I was blessed with her infectious love for cooking but somehow the whole instant creative meal planning gene double skipped passed me. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love thinking up and putting together homemade meals  for my family but with a new baby and a
