This morning I was browsing through all the wonderful recipes I have pinned on Pinterest and realized how many of them I haven’t made yet! I have been drooling over this one from Closet Cooking for over a year and tonight had all the ingredients in my refrigerator. This recipe screams freshness – fresh shrimp, fresh herbs and vine-ripe […]

Tonight we’re celebrating! I made it through to round two of Saucy Mama’s “Sliced” Contest! I am honored as there were so many delicious entries that I wasn’t sure I would make the cut! So tonight – we are taking one of our favorite sandwiches – BLTs – over the top by adding poached lobster tails, avocados […]
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 […]

My weekend was a slippery slope for eating healthy starting with Friday night. We watched our 5 year old grandson for most of the weekend and we ate like 5 year olds! Pizza, cheeseburgers, strawberry shortcake pancakes, ice cream… I thought chasing my grandson around would burn the calories but that was wishful thinking. By […]
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 […]
By 11:00 a.m. today – the day as I thought it would be was gone. Everything I planned to do today was thrown out the window. My day disintegrated with too many e-mails, too long phone conversations, and too much laundry. And the snow didn’t help either – it prevented me from running away. When […]
Whoo! What a week this has been! I’m supposed to be slowing down preparing for my knee replacement surgery in a few weeks and life is escalating around me! I don’t mind as I seem to thrive on chaos. And when life hands you chaos – make a casserole! Casseroles offer comfort to the family […]
