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 […]
This Easter I’m switching it up by trying a new recipe for our Easter Bread. Every year I make the traditional Paska that my Mother has made for years – this year I wanted something a bit different.

Well hello there. It’s been a while. I’ve been out of commission and out of the kitchen for the past month. I had a little thing done like a new knee installed in my body. My new knee and I are still getting acquainted. I’m learning how to bend it again and how to walk […]

I’m not Irish…I don’t even own one piece of green clothing but I sure have fun with the holiday! When my girls were little toddlers, I would wake them up in the morning in my Irish brogue (well, my Polish Slovak Irish brogue)… and would talk to them all day in my brogue… I would […]
Yes, it’s Christmas Eve and I’m writing a blog post. I had a few free minutes and wanted to share with you this fantastic recipe I made this afternoon. So easy. So delicious. So festive! I found the recipe on the King Arthur Flour website. I switched it up a bit but found many great baking […]

Flaky cream cheese crust filled with jam and preserves….apricot, pineapple and raspberry. There’s even a homemade nut filling for you nut […]
