It’s Friday and I sit resting from a fun-filled, busy week. I’m melancholy though for as fun as the week was – I have to say goodbye to my daughters as they return back to their homes out of state. The highlight of the week was the family cookout and the highlight of the cookout […]
I’m not a big fan of traditional potato salad. You know what I’m talking about – the egg-y, mustard-y, mayonaisse-y kind. Not that I don’t like eggs, mustard or mayonaisse – just not on my taters! For years, I’ve tried different variations of potato salad and never found one I liked so I made up […]
Today I bring you sweetness. Today I’m happy and want you to be happy too! I’m happy because my girls are all in town for the first time in a year. Tonight I’m hosting a family cookout so they can visit with their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. I wanted to make something special for […]

Hello Summer! What took you so long? I hope all of you are outside grilling or cooking in the kitchen for a barbeque! This weekend I made my favorite baked beans recipe for a neighborhood weenie roast. Or well, I thought it was my favorite recipe until I ran across a baked bean recipe from The Pioneer Woman. […]
I just made banana ice cream from just one ingredient – bananas! I first saw this recipe on the Today show, then on Dr. Oz and it began popping up in the blog world. I had to try it for I found it so intriguing. Did it really taste like ice cream? You start with […]
May has been a good month. The sun is trying to come out. Last week, this blog made foodgawker.com, tasteologie.com and tastespotter.com with my lemon curd recipe! Woooo! Tonight, it’s hubby’s choice. Tonight, we’re celebrating with lobster corn chowder. When asked what I should make next for the blog…this was his immediate answer…. and since we’re celebrating…here we go! Cut 1/4 lb. […]
