A week ago, I was grilling out and wearing sandals. Today, I’m making soup and wearing gloves when I walk my dogs. I don’t mind much – such is April in Ohio. It’s a soup day and I had plenty of ingredients for soup. Since joining WeightWatchers a week ago, one thing I have an […]

Hello. Let me re-introduce myself. It’s been a while, I know. But I’m back and have so missing writing, shooting photos and sharing wonderful recipes with you. Sometimes we need a break. Since my mother’s passing last November, life has handed me a series of challenges including losing my mother-in-law this past spring as well. Additionally […]
I’ve been cooking up a storm this week. I love Fall and when I wasn’t driving around through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, I was in the kitchen cooking up some comfort food. And there is nothing than brings more comfort than a bowl of chicken and dumplings. There was a lot of mmmmm’ing going […]
So while you were chowing down on wings, pizza and pulled pork sandwiches yesterday – we took a different approach to Superbowl Sunday. I don’t like to do what everyone else is doing and our Superbowl celebration is quite subdued compared to everyone else…in that, I’m not into it. Yes, I watch the commercials and loved halftime! […]
This is one of my favorite recipes and I can not believe it’s taken me this long to share it with you! It’s a hearty soup bursting with flavor and easy to make! This recipe came across my path many, many years ago from my single days. A group of my single friends would take […]
New Year. New Day. Clean slate. Right? I’ve been cleaning for days – the tree is down. Presents are put away….and I’m attacking the frig. As Hubby left this morning, I shouted out – “Expect healthy tonight!” not knowing what I was going to make. I knew as soon as I opened the frig and […]
Hello Fall! I’m so ready for you…apples, pumpkins, soups and stews! We just returned from a vacation in Las Vegas where the temperatures were in the 90’s and the only green we saw was money being thrown on the tables. Coming home, I welcomed the cool, crisp nights and the beginnings of the beautiful colors […]
Change is in the air. Evenings are cooler. Sun sets earlier. And many folks are preparing for back to school. I’m melancholy today as I think how quickly the seasons change. I love and welcome fall – but what happened to summer? I feel cheated. Most of this summer was too hot and with school […]
It’s a cool spring Saturday afternoon. In spite of the hot temps we had a few weeks back, I prefer the gentle spring that slowly walks us into summer. It’s not too often we get a spring like this and I welcome the gentle rain outside. It’s a night for comfort food…not for me, but […]
What started out as a sharing a recipe with you today turned into a journey…and a fun one at that! Many years ago, I frequented a local restaurant who has since then closed but my favorite meal on their menu was Pasta Puttanesca. It was rich with flavor, salty and briney. I would go there […]
