A week ago, I was grilling out and wearing sandals. Today, I’m making soup and wearing gloves when I walk my dogs. I don’t mind much – such is April in Ohio. It’s a soup day and I had plenty of ingredients for soup. Since joining WeightWatchers a week ago, one thing I have an […]

spinachpastadish2 How many photos am I going to have to shoot to prove that you must try this? I am such a convert to homemade pasta. Ever since trying it for the first time a month ago – I can’t go back! I have turned into such a pasta snob – I won’t eat out at Italian […]
I hit it out of the park tonight….with such a simple recipe. One of my life long’s dreams is to get Hubby to appreciate Brussels sprouts. Try as I may, my attempts never registered on his “yum” meter. He basically would eat them out of obligation with maybe a grunt of recognition. No grunts tonight….only […]
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 […]

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 […]
New Year. New Day. Clean slate. Right? I’ve been cleaning for days – the tree is down. Presents are put away….and I’m attacking the frig. As Hubby left this morning, I shouted out – “Expect healthy tonight!” not knowing what I was going to make. I knew as soon as I opened the frig and […]
Wait! Stop! Summer’s not over yet! There’s still corn… and tomatoes…. and more corn…. As summer slowly dwindles into fall, I find myself hanging on to the last of summer’s harvest. The family is a bit burned out with ears of corn served at every meal – it was time to try something different. This […]
This is such a fun way to cook a baked potato! It’s a cross between a baked potato, potato skins and fried potatoes. And – you can be so creative with them! I’m gonna give you the basics and you can create your own tater! Start with a basic baking potato (sweet potatoes would work […]
Ah. Summer’s bounty. I can’t keep up with all the wonderful things I want to make. Fresh peaches are ripening on my counter. Beets are waiting to be roasted in my refrigerator. And all those tomatoes! Herbs from the garden. Fresh green beans. As I write this tonight, I see on the news how the […]
