1/4 c honey
1 egg
a generous puddle of vanilla
1/2 c wheat flour
1/2 c almond meal
chopped pecans

I am a big fan of using initial caps when typing or printing a website url because it just makes it so much easier for the reader to “get it.” That’s why I always use www.MaverickMarketing.com for my consulting and workshop site or www.BlahBlahBlah.us for my speaking site. Wait till you see the sites my friend Scott...

One of the most uninteresting parts of the Academy Awards are the borring speeches filled with “thank yous” to agents and producers.

You might be confused — How can two speeches help solve...
This is a sure-fire plan to make enemies with a girl that wishes she was still in high school!
Utah state Senator Chris Buttars says he believes he has discovered the cure for senioritis: cut 12th grade altogether. Pitched as a cost-cutting measure, his proposal to eliminate the final year of high school—or at the very least make it optional—has surprisingly gained some traction in the state,...

Snowpocalypse is coming
Pre-snow behavior is very similar to pre-hurricane behavior. I’m at tj’s and as far as I can tell they’re two ticks away from calling in the national guard to regulate!
WatchYay, Addie! This is so exciting!
“Addie will keep the LSU fans on the edge of their seats with her dynamic and exciting attacking style. She has incredibly quick feet and a change of gear with the ball. Defenders will find it difficult to contain her pace and creativity with and without the ball. She has the ability to play centrally, wide, up front or in midfield. She will be dangerous in...
