Today I bring you simplicity. Simplicity: the state of being simple, uncomplicated, or uncompounded Take a deep breath… and exhale. Everyone’s back to where they’re supposed to be and routine has begun once again. I’m alone in the house today….exhaling. No more Christmas cookies, no pine needles, no ornaments or ribbons. Just me and these […]

Happy New Day! Yes, I mean “New Day” and not “New Year.” Yesterday was the first day of the new year and quite frankly, it sucked. I went to get gas and while I was waiting in the car while the gas tank was filling, a really nasty looking man was banging on my window […]
Wow! What a year! And I have you to thank! I began this blog this past February and had no idea where this journey would lead. This blog started as a means for me to capture recipes I tried and wanted to save. I wanted a venue in which I could hand down my family’s […]
This post is dedicated to my two sisters for whom I’ve made these nut rolls to celebrate one more Christmas together with our Mom. I don’t say enough how much I appreciate you. I may have mentioned this before in my posts that my Mother suffers from dementia. My Dad, my sisters and I have […]
I know what you’re thinking… Stuffing recipe, really? Thanksgiving’s gone and we’re all ‘stuffed’ out… I’m writing today’s post for me for I know I will lose the recipe if I don’t write about it. After the fabulous meal at my sister’s house on Thanksgiving, I decided to make a turkey breast over the weekend […]

It all started with a rumor last week at the barbershop. Nick Anthe’s was closing. Hubby came home bearing the news. “You’re kidding!”, I said. “I don’t get it…where are we going to go for our celebrations?” Nick Anthe’s restaurant has been legendary in Akron’s history of restaurants and one of THE places to go […]
What started out as a sharing a recipe with you today turned into a journey…and a fun one at that! Many years ago, I frequented a local restaurant who has since then closed but my favorite meal on their menu was Pasta Puttanesca. It was rich with flavor, salty and briney. I would go there […]
It’s Friday. Have a seat…take a breather… Have a bite of pie. For today, we’re celebrating! We’re celebrating lots of things… :: It’s Friday – that’s always a celebration :: I don’t need surgery on my knee – physical therapy and cortisone is the prescription :: I made Foodbuzz’s Top Nine with my Southwest Pumpkin Soup (woo! thanks all […]
I have a quicky for you today! This is the last of the pumpkin recipes for the week. It’s a very simple recipe with subtle Southwest flavors and a hint of sweetness. This soup would make a great first course or a meal in itself with a side of crusty bread or cornbread. I’ve been […]
