This post is not about a recipe (although you will get one)… This post is not about food (although I will tease you)… This post is about friendship… and re-inventing yourself… and finding your passion… and the power of friendship and networking. It’s about having a cup of coffee 0r a glass of wine with […]

I’m doing my first food demonstration at a local garden center, Graf Growers. Summer salsas are the theme and what better way to celebrate the flavors of the season? There is so much you can do with salsas… So many flavor combinations… So much flexibility… Hundreds of combinations, but for tonight we’ll start with three. A […]
Typically this is the meal that I make when the snow is blowing and the fireplace is glowing. Today it made more sense to cook inside than to fight the heat of the day grilling outside. And when I run into these little beauties at Whole Foods who could resist? All this being said, I […]
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. […]
It’s Sunday night and admittedly don’t have any revolutionary recipes to offer. I just want to marvel at the taters I bought today at the grocers. It was a bag of lil’ taters….tri-colored taters! Blue. Red. Yellow. Little. Tender. I had to have them. I took them home and boiled them until they were smashable […]
I was having a ‘Martha Stewart’ day yesterday. Literally. After a week of playing with my girlfriends while Hubby was gone topped by the holiday, I did very little kitchen time. I couldn’t wait to get back to normal and start cooking and blogging again. While I was looking for a side dish to go […]
I’m about to give you a gift. You can thank me later. HE hasn’t stopped thanking me for the past two hours. HE is out on a walk right now and I know… HE will thank me one more time when he gets home. This is my post-fourth-of-July celebration. I didn’t want any more hot […]
I like weird things. Sometimes it works when it comes to food and recipes. It didn’t always work when it came to boyfriends! It’s the artist in me….seeking the unusual and playing with the different. I had a lunch today with two of my favorite young mothers. I love having them and their wee […]
