I’m so out of sorts. It’s the middle of March and it’s 78 degrees out. I go to my closet full of sweaters and struggle to find something to wear. It all started with the time change, it took me a week to get back in rhythm and then there was St. Patty’s Day…it took […]

Woot! It’s grandson sleepover night! Time for hugs, giggles, play… and holding onto every precious moment. When I was a young mother, I was too busy to hold onto every precious moment. Looking back now, I wish I could stop time and giggle more, hug more and play more… I couldn’t, I was a single […]
No pumpkin recipes for a while… nor squash recipes… I love sharing them with you but I’m a tad ‘pumpkin-d out’. We’ve had basic pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread and pumpkin soup. I’ve done cooking demonstrations with all of the above (several times) along with risottos and made pumpkin muffins with my aging Mother. So I’m boycotting pumpkins for 24 […]
I love macaroni and cheese! I ALWAYS made it as a staple in our house – that is when my girls lived with me and I needed an easy and filling meal. Back then, I didn’t have to count calories, fat or carbs – I was too busy chasing them and my metabolism was high. […]
What started out as a sharing a recipe with you today turned into a journey…and a fun one at that! Many years ago, I frequented a local restaurant who has since then closed but my favorite meal on their menu was Pasta Puttanesca. It was rich with flavor, salty and briney. I would go there […]
I have a quicky for you today! This is the last of the pumpkin recipes for the week. It’s a very simple recipe with subtle Southwest flavors and a hint of sweetness. This soup would make a great first course or a meal in itself with a side of crusty bread or cornbread. I’ve been […]
Chilly nights call for chili and there are a thousand recipes out there! Everyone has their own version and I love trying all of them. My daughter claims to make better chili than me – the problem is getting her to make some is the issue. Personally, I’ve made a myriad of recipes and won’t […]
Okay, I know what you’re thinking… this sounds totally gross. Cold soup made with beets? I’ve been hearing it all week with Hubby as I prepare for my cooking demonstration on Saturday featuring cold soups. Trust me, there is nothing more refreshing and full of flavor than a chilled beet soup with a dollop (I […]
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 love strawberries. Shortcake, ice cream, jam….just plain with sugar or whipping cream. I’m only starting to explore the deliciousness of strawberries and combining them with different flavors. One of our local restaurants makes the BEST strawberry salad combining the flavors of strawberries, fresh spinach, young lettuce, red onion, feta cheese and toasted almonds. Yum. […]
