Hula Hoop the Pounds Away!

Okay, this just sounds fun. :) When I was a kid, I loved to hula hoop! Whenever we had Field Day in elementary school, the hula hoop contest would always be the first event that I chose! One year, I tied with a classmate for first place because our match lasted WAY too long. I'm still proud of that. While this kind of hula-hooping may not win you any blue ribbons,... [Read more...]

We've all seen different takes on the first pitches in Major League Baseball games. From Presidents, to celebrities, to business men and women. Some were good, some not so great, some awful, and some just downright weird. Do we see the same kind of...creativity at Minor League games? Well, if you're a Memphis Redbird fan and just happened to be at the game on... [Read more...]

Are Banana Cream Pies one of Memphis’ Great Desserts?

The "world famous" pie bears no resemblance to it's country cousin, banana pudding, which I am an extreme fan of. :) Here are the ingredients and design: The graham cracker crust has mashed bananas... [Read more...]

Breakfast Biscuits

I’m a sucker for a good sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. I like the homemade version way better than McDonalds’, simply because I like the homemade biscuits better. But if I’m in a rush and I don’t have time to bake up a batch, I’ll just head over to Bryant’s. Service is normally pretty quick on weekday mornings, but I haven’t really... [Read more...]
