Dog gone it! My life has gone to the dogs as of late. It all started with a good intention of buying my dogs “organic” treats. I’m very picky of what I feed my dogs… No table scraps… Holistic food…. Veggies for snacks…they love fresh green beans, red peppers, carrots and cabbage! I got reeled […]

Do you ever feel like the Universe is pushing you in a direction? Like the same thing keeps showing up and nudging you until you plunge in and try something you never thought you would try before? That’s how it is with me and smoothies… especially GREEN ones! It started last Fall when we were […]
I typically cook for both of our parents at least once a week – although these days, it’s been more often as they age and a simple task like cooking is impossible. It’s a perfect storm as I always have food leftover after my blog posts to share. They do have their favorites and remind […]
Today I bring you simplicity. Simplicity: the state of being simple, uncomplicated, or uncompounded Take a deep breath… and exhale. Everyone’s back to where they’re supposed to be and routine has begun once again. I’m alone in the house today….exhaling. No more Christmas cookies, no pine needles, no ornaments or ribbons.

I bring you this recipe as a very humble woman. These are my VERY favorite cookie of the season… an old Slovenian recipe of my Mom’s… Kolachy. Kolachy are the JEWELS of Christmas cookies. Flaky cream cheese crust filled with jam and preserves….apricot, pineapple and raspberry. There’s even a homemade nut filling for you nut […]
This post is dedicated to my two sisters for whom I’ve made these nut rolls to celebrate one more Christmas together with our Mom. I don’t say enough how much I appreciate you. I may have mentioned this before in my posts that my Mother suffers from dementia. My Dad, my sisters and I have […]
I know what you’re thinking… Stuffing recipe, really? Thanksgiving’s gone and we’re all ‘stuffed’ out… I’m writing today’s post for me for I know I will lose the recipe if I don’t write about it. After the fabulous meal at my sister’s house on Thanksgiving, I decided to make a turkey breast over the weekend […]
