summersbounty I have a serious problem. When I go to local farmer’s markets this time of year, I can’t control myself. I buy everything! My head goes into a spin – “Oh, I’m going to make this” “Look how beautiful and FRESH these veggies are!” “I haven’t made anything with these in a long time…” […]

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 […]
It’s that time of year. Sunny one day. Rainy the next. Chance of snow by this afternoon. A high near 60 degrees by tomorrow. You get the story. It’s spring and here in Ohio, it’s days of unpredictable weather. I don’t mind it for I like spring to gently usher in the heat of summer. […]
Crab Cakes It’s Lent and many of us are thinking fish on Fridays. I’m not crazy about fish. In fact, I drive my hubby nuts in my pickiness over fish. I like halibut and Chilean Sea Bass and that’s it. If there is any sign of a bone or skin – I’m off running! But […]

Happy almost New Year! I’m starting one of my New Year’s resolutions right now…and that’s to start writing on my blog again. I took a break. My muse left me for about six months as I was called to take care of family matters. 2014 was a challenging year but we are hours away from it […]

I woke up Monday morning feeling real guilty over my weekend indulgences over the Fourth of July. It’s hard to resist a good barbecue – hot dogs, ribs and all the side dishes. It was time to start a week of salads. Salads don’t need to take a long time to make and they don’t need […]
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 […]
spinachpastadish2 How many photos am I going to have to shoot to prove that you must try this? I am such a convert to homemade pasta. Ever since trying it for the first time a month ago – I can’t go back! I have turned into such a pasta snob – I won’t eat out at Italian […]
One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to eat less red meat – and well actually, meat in general. Don’t get me wrong – I love me a good steak or burger and won’t give that up all together. I’m just a little more strategic about when I eat my red meat and […]
