Fall has opened up here in Ohio with colder temps. The geese are flying in formation above our lake. While others are complaining about what’s around the corner… I welcome Fall as it is my favorite season of the year. It’s a time for nesting and cuddling… and gathering around the hearth. You can see […]
I am sitting here looking at this plate of deliciousness… Flaky little biscuits filled with (my favorite) raspberry jam, walnuts and golden raisins. Topped with cinnamon sugar…. Do I have your attention now? I know, it’s been a while since I’ve shared delish with you…I finally have my mojo back from vacation and am ready […]

I’m going to tell you upfront that I have had a ‘sucky’ day. We woke up to 2 inches of water in our basement…in our new home… Good news is that all the photos from the past twenty years were salvaged. The day was filled with mops, rags, papers towels and phone calls to insurance […]
What do you do when it gets hot? Go SHOPPING! Air conditioned stores…no sweat…and a great excuse to buy things! This weekend Hubby and I went to the mall and gravitated toward one of my favorite stores, Williams Sonoma. I was in the baking section and admiring this cute little pocket pie mold. After I left […]
It’s Mom’s birthday. What do you get a woman who’s suffering with dementia? Material gifts just don’t matter anymore. I wanted to give her something that was a gift for her senses… and her memory. Pineapple Upside Down Cake Of course! She made that for us countless time growing up. It’s so pretty. Caramelized goodness. […]
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 […]
