So yesterday morning I slept in to around 7; I know is that really sleeping in; Not for most but for me it’s pretty good.

I asked … Continue reading Rich’s Banana Nut Bread
I am curious how many people that took up gardening last year because of Covid are still gardening this year? I do know that my local gardening store was a little more prepared for it this year; unlike last year when they were out of just about everything. We have had some sort of a garden for well over 30 years now and it … Continue reading XL Zucchini go-to’s – lemon zucchini tea cake and zucchini bread
Sitting on the porch just finished having a couple of buttermilk biscuits for breakfast with my husband and daughter. When I first came outside the sun was hitting one lonely little sunflower which I don’t usually see or maybe it’s more like notice. It is slowly following the sun around and by the afternoon will have done a 180′ turn which is pretty cool if … Continue reading blueberry zucchini lemon bread

I literally … Continue reading Buttermilk Biscuits
We have had some wacky weather here in NH – well all over the country but I can only speak to here in my minuscule part of it; pretty much all summer. Hot and humid and either a pop up shower or a thunderstorm. It has been hard trying to time when to harvest not only my garlic but everything out there. I feel bad … Continue reading Healthier Banana Zucchini Bread
Happy New Years Eve!!! If there were ever a cooking competition that was for tastes great but looks terrible my scones would win hands down. Albeit I have only made them twice or maybe three times but they NEVER look like the scones I buy; well anywhere else. But mine do taste simply divine; just to clear the air I am not the only one … Continue reading Berry Scones – ugly but delish

Meals such as chicken broccoli alfredo; burritos, Kielbasa and beans that were a big part of the meal rotation. Today we have a fish tacos, pulled pork with coleslaw, One-pot pastas and skillet chicken dishes. She credited it … Continue reading Orange and Currant Scones
