Beets and Oranges Coming back from vacation and rolling right into Memorial Day, I needed to stop the madness. We were in D.C. and oh my(!), does that city have the restaurants! We never had a bad meal and enjoyed the diversity in the cuisines. Add to that – the ribs and hot dogs of […]

If I had to make one thing for my Hubby for the rest of his life – it would be peas. Preferably peas and pasta. With the spring vegetables sneaking into the farmer’s markets and grocery stores, fresh peas have made an appearance, and I have been searching for a new peas and pasta recipe. […]
What is it about Sunday nights? Every Sunday night, I try to make up for the sins of the week. Oh – and this week was sinful. We had our 3 5-year old grandsons for 2 days and it was pizza, hamburgers, more pizza and bacon. What was I supposed to do? Eat yogurt when […]
Or Steak Salad with French fries! Ha! I was trying to get fancy on you to get your attention. Truth is – French fries gets anyone’s attention! Last week I was at lunch at our favorite restaurant with my daughters and we all ordered salads. Before the waitress left, my youngest daughter said, “Oh and we’ll […]
I just came back from a two day retreat and it seemed like all I did was eat! Full breakfasts, creamy sauces and dessert with every meal. I was craving veggies and a simple supper. Plus I missed my kitchen… As I was going through my mail, I saw a Penzy Spices catalog and found […]

Happy Fourth! I don’t know about where you are but here in Ohio it’s hotter than…er… It’s hot. Too hot. Most cities around here have decided to cancel their fireworks because of the dry grass and shrubs around here. So we’re preparing a COOL salad to take to a friend’s house tonight. It’s fresh, zesty […]
Do you ever feel like the Universe is pushing you in a direction? Like the same thing keeps showing up and nudging you until you plunge in and try something you never thought you would try before? That’s how it is with me and smoothies… especially GREEN ones! It started last Fall when we were […]
I don’t know about you but after the cookout festivities of Memorial Day, we needed a light supper. Geez! On Monday, I made 30 lbs. of ribs! I didn’t eat all 30 lbs. but I did enjoy them! Raiding the refrigerator tonight, I found a container of blue cheese leftover from making Buffalo Chicken Paninis last […]
I have a new pan! Okay, okay – I can already hear you… You call that a new pan? I have my grandmother’s pan…and my great, great grandmother’s pan…. Well so did I and I never appreciated it before. In fact, about three moves ago – I tossed it out. Yes, I was the fool. After […]
