There’s nothing that says lovin’ like something from the oven… Remember that jingle? Probably not – I’m just showing my age. There’s a lot of truth to that. I always struggle with Valentine’s gifts. We just got over Christmas, didn’t we? The thing I love about Valentine’s Day is that any little act of kindness […]

I love a good challenge! I have been invited to participate in Saucy Mama’s recipe contest! Last week I received a delightful little package of Saucy Mama’s mustard which included Hatch Chili flavor, Creamy Garlic and Dill. It’s a fun contest where 25 bloggers submit an appetizer recipe using one of these delicious mustards… I had fun […]
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 […]
Is it possible to have the goodness of three cookie recipes in one? Oh yes! A healthy recipe that’s also gluten free? Yes! With a pinch of salt on top to counter the sweetness? Yes! Yes! Yes! Crunchy on the outside – chewy on the inside! This recipe is a must make. Guiltless oatmeal, peanut […]
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! […]

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 […]
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 […]
Surgery is a week away and this weekend, I just wanted to play in my kitchen as I know I soon will be learning to ‘let go’ as my Hubby and daughter take over preparing meals. We were headed to our friend’s house for dinner and I wanted to bring something special for dessert. Hubby […]
Whoo! What a week this has been! I’m supposed to be slowing down preparing for my knee replacement surgery in a few weeks and life is escalating around me! I don’t mind as I seem to thrive on chaos. And when life hands you chaos – make a casserole! Casseroles offer comfort to the family […]
