This morning I’m staring at a pair of rotten bananas and can’t bring myself to throw them out. I usually do but this morning, I felt particularly guilty. As I was searching in my pantry for what I had to work with – I found an unopened jar of Nutella and a half used bag […]

Easy Waffles Some mornings just beg to be celebratory. A morning where you get up and linger to enjoy the world around you. The joy of sunshine, those who are seated around the table and the food on the table. This was such a morning. The beginning of a three day holiday weekend. My husband […]
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 […]
Is it possible to have the goodness of three cookie recipes in one? Oh yes! A healthy recipe that’s also gluten free? Yes! With a pinch of salt on top to counter the sweetness? Yes! Yes! Yes! Crunchy on the outside – chewy on the inside! This recipe is a must make. Guiltless oatmeal, peanut […]

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 […]
Do you remember how I said I like eating frozen lemonade out of a can? Well, I’m even worse with pumpkin pie filling. Right before I pour the filling into the crust, I pour a little bit in a separate cup and treat myself to a little sinful indulgence – raw eggs and all! Here’s a […]
Surgery is a week away and this weekend, I just wanted to play in my kitchen as I know I soon will be learning to ‘let go’ as my Hubby and daughter take over preparing meals. We were headed to our friend’s house for dinner and I wanted to bring something special for dessert. Hubby […]
