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 […]

Chocolate Crepes

I remember Mother’s Days of years gone by when my little girls would make me breakfast in bed. They would make me lie in bed while they were whispering and hustling in the kitchen. The three of them would parade in carrying a tray of toast, cereal and a flower picked from the garden. We […]

Cheesy Dog Biscuits

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! […]

Peppermint Bark

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 […]

Barkie Banana Biscotti

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 […]

Pumpkin Butter

Chocolate Gelato

It’s 8 o’clock in the morning and I’m having this for breakfast. Chocolate Gelato. I didn’t wake up this morning and say “I’m having gelato for breakfast!”… I was planning on my regular yogurt and fruit with peanut butter toast. Before I made my breakfast, I decided to take photos of my latest recipe adventure […]

Blintzes and Palatschinke

This is a recipe full of memories which crosses many chapters in my life. Today I’m a bit melancholy and misty-eyed as I remember my (ex) Mother-in-Law who passed a year ago would make blintzes for the Jewish celebrations and my own Mother who now suffers from dementia, used this recipe to make Palatschinke, a favorite […]
