Easy Waffles Some mornings just beg to be celebratory. A morning where you get up and linger to enjoy the world around you. The joy of sunshine, those who are seated around the table and the food on the table. This was such a morning. The beginning of a three day holiday weekend. My husband […]
I remember Mother’s Days of years gone by when my little girls would make me breakfast in bed. They would make me lie in bed while they were whispering and hustling in the kitchen. The three of them would parade in carrying a tray of toast, cereal and a flower picked from the garden. We […]
If I had to make one thing for my Hubby for the rest of his life – it would be peas. Preferably peas and pasta. With the spring vegetables sneaking into the farmer’s markets and grocery stores, fresh peas have made an appearance, and I have been searching for a new peas and pasta recipe. […]

This Easter I’m switching it up by trying a new recipe for our Easter Bread. Every year I make the traditional Paska that my Mother has made for years – this year I wanted something a bit different. This recipe rocks! It looks like danish with cheese filling. It looks hard to make – but it’s not! […]
One of my most favorite things to make in the kitchen is treats for my dogs. I swear they know when something’s going on in the kitchen for them for they stand in front of me – looking so obedient and grateful. My rescue – Polly – will do anything for a home made treat! […]
