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 […]

Have you ever opened your mouth and tasted something and suddenly time stops? Totally stops. You’re not in charge anymore. You don’t know where you are, who you’re with or what you ate an hour ago? Life… and your palette are frozen in time. Frozen as in a dish of ice cream – or gelato […]

Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies? I long for the days when I would eat them as fast as I can scoop the gooey morsels off the hot pan. One…then two…three… and beyond that, I would never admit to how many. I stopped making them years ago because of my inability to stop reasonably. It’s […]

Here’s a fun, healthy appetizer for your next cookout! This comes from my dear friend Dotti who brought it to my last party. I always get stuck on appetizers and usually make the same old, same old… I was thrilled when she walked in with this…it was so pretty! Make your own cinnamon chips – […]

I’m having a hard time starting this post… Hubby is sitting next to me moaning between bites… “This bread is killer…this bread is evil…I could eat the whole thing right now…this is the best thing you’ve ever made” See what I mean? He’s so distracting sometimes! Truth is – this bread IS killer and it […]

This weekend, we had friends over for a night of food, laughter and dessert! I already had Cherry Coke Cupcakes for a fun summertime dessert but needed something non-chocolate. I asked Hubby what to make with them? He shouted out “Lemon Bars! I love Lemon Bars!” How can I argue with that? Lemon Bars it […]

Today’s post is not so much about the recipe but more the post-Mother’s Day reflection. Although I do give you a good peanut butter cookie recipe at the end! Today’s post is about the footprints we make in each others lives. A while back on one of my posts about my grand kids, someone commented […]

This is a recipe full of memories which crosses many chapters in my life. Today I’m a bit melancholy and misty-eyed as I remember my (ex) Mother-in-Law who passed a year ago would make blintzes for the Jewish celebrations and my own Mother who now suffers from dementia, used this recipe to make Palatschinke, a […]

I like trying new recipes. I like trying recipes with a twist of flavor. I like trying recipes that seem a bit odd. I have to make them for myself to see what I missing. This is one of those recipes. We were having friends over for dessert last night and my original thought was […]
