Before my husband and I were married way back in the late eighties. We got a puppy together, isn’t that kind how things tend to progress for most? You date for a few years; you move in together and get a pet? I see it is a trial period to see if you can co-habitat before pulling the trigger on marriage and kids. If you … Continue reading Blueberry Pie Bars
I have been writing this blog for several years now and while I enjoy writing and sharing with you all. You would think I would have a better game plan; I don’t I have been on vacation this past week and it didn’t occur to me to write this weeks blog or even make something worthy of sharing until 7:40 last night ugh! I literally … Continue reading Buttermilk Biscuits
This weekend and last I have been spending at least one of the weekend days in the kitchen. I wanted to; well actually had to make sure my gardening wasn’t for not. Last week I had some blueberries and raspberries that needed to be either eaten or made into something else. Tomatoes that I needed to make into a sauce, green peppers washed, sliced and … Continue reading Buttermilk Berry Muffins
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 Easter! Meal prep is such a buzz word all over the internet, it seems there are hundreds of ideas out there that people are sharing. I do like the idea behind it but I don’t think one size fits all and are you going to plan/eat the same thing every single day? Probably not! Could you for a couple or a few day I … Continue reading Macro friendly weekly Frittata
With Mother’s Day coming up next week I wanted to give you a breakfast or brunch option that tasted as good as it looked. It also needed to tick off a few of my important boxes; mainly using ingredients that most everyone has on hand; be pretty simple and not take you all morning to make. This is only the third homemade cinnamon roll I have … Continue reading Homemade Cinnamon Roll under an hour
A couple of weeks ago we were staying with some friends up North. The guys went skiing and us girls stayed back at the house. We got some things done, went shopping and then for a very nice walk. The inspiration for this weeks recipe came from my girlfriend making a healthy muffin as something to grab on the way out the door in the … Continue reading Healthy Yummy Oatmeal Muffins
A few weeks ago I ripped out a page from a cooking magazine that looked like something we would eat. I do this ALL the time and have SO many pages that I don’t really know how to deal with them. Or at least I haven’t actually done anything with all of them other than place them in “like” piles such as seafood, sandwiches, salads, side … Continue reading Shirred Eggs
I have NO idea why it has taken me SOOOOOO long to make a batch of granola. Seriously; we all love it; we or more like; I buy it; Over the years I’ve bought all different kinds/brands. I have even gone so far as to write down the ingredients listed on a local company’s bag of my favorite granola. I am only slightly embarrassed to … Continue reading Must try Granola
The garden is winding down a bit, and I’m OK with it. It looks like my zucchini and summer squash harvesting days are over but they were very good to us this year. I am going to go on record today and say that I am all set with making zucchini bread for the year. I even had enough very large zucchinis to make a … Continue reading Lemon Zucchini Tea Cake
