My weekend was a slippery slope for eating healthy starting with Friday night. We watched our 5 year old grandson for most of the weekend and we ate like 5 year olds! Pizza, cheeseburgers, strawberry shortcake pancakes, ice cream… I thought chasing my grandson around would burn the calories but that was wishful thinking. By […]

Or Steak Salad with French fries! Ha! I was trying to get fancy on you to get your attention. Truth is – French fries gets anyone’s attention! Last week I was at lunch at our favorite restaurant with my daughters and we all ordered salads. Before the waitress left, my youngest daughter said, “Oh and we’ll […]
Life has been complicated lately. So much going on…filled with very complex decisions like guiding my Hubby’s parents into assisted living. The journey was full of emotion but with a resolute of what was best for them. Safety first. Happiness second. They finally landed and we are all working on the happiness part but at […]
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 […]

I bet right about now you could eat one of these…with a tall glass of cold milk. Full disclosure – I’ve already had two! Snickerdoodles! What a funny word – I love saying it. There is no rhyme or reason behind the name of these cookies. I can imagine someone making sugar cookies and decided […]
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 […]
Today is all about presents! Not the kind you buy in a store…or online… But what you take the time out to make in your kitchen… with your own touch. It’s about giving…something sweet. And today we have sweet! This is so easy – only three ingredients! I have to ask myself why would you […]
While the rest of the world is baking cookies and creating holiday food gifts for their friends and families for Christmas, I decided to mosey into the kitchen and make some treats for my pups. You see, I gave up on Christmas this year. With my knee replacement surgery in October, the past two months […]
