The Globe in Covington is a great little bar with a lot of pizzazz and fantastic cocktails. Before it was a trendy place to get a drink though The Globe was a little bit seedier. In fact, I can remember walking past this building as a young girl when it was a gentleman’s club called...
This weekend I made one of our favorite appetizers for a party with our cousins. It had been years since I have dusted off this Hanky Panky Recipe, and I had forgotten just how easy it is to make them and what a crowd pleaser they are. Hanky Pankies are a simple mix of ground...
If you want to have a top notch steak dinner then you really should treat yourself to dinner at the Dutch inspired restaurant Lisse in Covington. I would venture to say that the steak at Lisse was one of the best I have had, and all the other foods we tasted were amazing as well,...

Many years ago on the first of December the doorbell rang and we found the Elf on the Shelf on our front doorstep. The kids named our Elf “Zanzoe” and he has been our holiday friend ever since. The kids absolutely love Zanzoe the Elf on the Shelf, and I am not going to lie,...
When we are invited to parties I try to always show up with a dish in my hand. And usually that dish is an appetizer for the crowd. One of my favorite go-to appetizer recipes is for a BBQ Chicken Dip. It is super easy to make and super scrumptious to eat. This dip takes...
During a recent trip to Louisville we were looking for a brewery to stop by for a quick brew before meeting up with friends and we ended up at Apocalypse Brew Works. Louisville is booming with craft breweries much like our own hometown, which makes it fun to try to find new places to try new...
Tom Sawyer premiered this weekend at Cincy Shakes and will run through December 9th. The show was downright delightful and would make an excellent holiday outing for families or even as a date night. Tom and Huck’s antics and Becky Thatcher’s sass had me and Sam in stitches. And the intense scary scenes had us...
