Oh these wintry days are forcing me to stay inside and entertain myself. I had a whole afternoon to myself with all my appointments cancelled and nothing to do but play with flour, eggs, and olive oil. I found a pasta making recipe on the Restless Chipolte blog and decide to give it a whirl! […]

Brrr…Baby it’s cold outside! We probably would all rather be somewhere warmer but I don’t think it exists in the continental USA right now. So let’s bundle up and make the most of it! Let’s think positive and enjoy the good things about winter – we nest, we snuggle around the fire and we get […]

I’m in my happy spot! Summer’s bounty is at it’s peak – fresh tomatoes, green beans, peaches, berries and… CORN! We love corn at our house and eat it every chance we get and I’m also searching for new ways to cook with it. I’ve made cornbread, lobster corn chowder, cheddar corn chowder, my Hubby’s […]

I love a good challenge! I have been invited to participate in Saucy Mama’s recipe contest! Last week I received a delightful little package of Saucy Mama’s mustard which included Hatch Chili flavor, Creamy Garlic and Dill. It’s a fun contest where 25 bloggers submit an appetizer recipe using one of these delicious mustards… I […]

I remember Mother’s Days of years gone by when my little girls would make me breakfast in bed. They would make me lie in bed while they were whispering and hustling in the kitchen. The three of them would parade in carrying a tray of toast, cereal and a flower picked from the garden. We […]

One of my most favorite things to make in the kitchen is treats for my dogs. I swear they know when something’s going on in the kitchen for them for they stand in front of me – looking so obedient and grateful. My rescue – Polly – will do anything for a home made treat! […]

Today is all about presents! Not the kind you buy in a store…or online… But what you take the time out to make in your kitchen… with your own touch. It’s about giving…something sweet. And today we have sweet! This is so easy – only three ingredients! I have to ask myself why would you […]

While the rest of the world is baking cookies and creating holiday food gifts for their friends and families for Christmas, I decided to mosey into the kitchen and make some treats for my pups. You see, I gave up on Christmas this year. With my knee replacement surgery in October, the past two months […]

Well hello there. It’s been a while. I’ve been out of commission and out of the kitchen for the past month. I had a little thing done like a new knee installed in my body.  My new knee and I are still getting acquainted. I’m learning how to bend it again and how to walk […]

It’s 8 o’clock in the morning and I’m having this for breakfast. Chocolate Gelato. I didn’t wake up this morning and say “I’m having gelato for breakfast!”… I was planning on my regular yogurt and fruit with peanut butter toast. Before I made my breakfast, I decided to take photos of my latest recipe adventure […]
