Orange Triple Berry Muffins

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 12, 2012 Breakfast

Okay, okay, I give. I can’t take the sweets anymore. I’m not talking chocolate. I’m talking the cookies and brownies. The fudge and the chocolate covered cherries. The twix bars and cookie dough cupcakes. I’m talking all of it. I’m so over it. I’m done with sweets. Okay, okay. You got me. I’m so not [...]

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 11, 2012 Blogging

I’ve been naughty. I’m a little embarrassed to admit. I’ve been cheating on you all, and I totally forgot to tell you about it. I’ve been blogging over the Mega Bloks Family Club for sometime now. Well over six months. I’ve told you about that before. It’s old news. Why have I been naughty? I’ve been posting [...]

My Messy Kitchen

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 10, 2012 Wordless Wednesday

Picture this: it’s the weekend after Thanksgiving. My inlaws are visiting. We’ve just inhaled a delicious dinner of smoked turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, wine. And peppermint cheesecake to finish it off. We are all basically immobilized on the couch from all of the food. The dishwasher is filled. So many dishes. I swear we just did [...]

Sweet Tooth Favorites

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 9, 2012 Sweet Tooth Favorites

You know what I love? Chocolate. Big surprise, I know. You know what else I love? Food photography that makes my stomach grumble. Food photography that makes me hungry, even if I’m already stuffed. Food photography that has me running to the kitchen to whip up a batch of cookies that I suddenly just can’t [...]

Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 8, 2012 PIzza

A few weeks ago we gathered with some very special friends. We gather every year around Christmas. It’s a group of my husbands friends from high school. Yes, he’s still in contact with his high school friends. Weird, right? Well, really, it’s not that weird. One of these friends gave his life in Iraq over [...]

Guac Off for the Super Bowl

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 8, 2012 Uncategorized

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I’m not a big football fan, much to my husbands sorrow. I try. I ask about the score. I will even sit on the couch for an entire game, only occasionally looking at my [...]

Peanut Butter Twix Bars

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 5, 2012 Dessert

It’s National Shortbread Day! I bet you didn’t even know. To celebrate, I’m making up some homemade Twix bars. Why homemade Twix bars you ask? Because hidden under a layer of rich, dark chocolate there’s a layer of oh-so-creamy peanut butter. Under that creamy layer is a melt-in-your-mouth, brown-sugar layer of shortbread. Oh yes. I [...]

Winter and Resolutions

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 3, 2012 Wordless Wednesday

Winter is a difficult season for me. It always has been, but it seems to be getting harder with each passing year. It’s more than the cold. It’s more than the snow. It’s more than the endless days of cloudy, gray and gloom. It’s more than being trapped inside. It’s something deep inside me. In [...]
