I wasn’t really … Continue reading Polish Gingerbread Cookies
I was looking for an older recipe I wrote about before for today’s blog. Reason being is I didn’t really make anything note worthy this past week. For our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went to the Azores and while we liked everything except for the sausage, it was SO smoky and the texture was not to my liking. So this recipe Portuguese recipe popped up … Continue reading Portuguese Braised Pork Shoulder and Clams

Last week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went … Continue reading Mongolian Beef & Buuz meat filled dumpling
Current situation is sitting on the porch with my husband and dog. The husband is watching some YouTube video on how to do something he needs to do for work.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Current situation is quite far from home. My husband and I spent about 15 hours in total driving to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It took longer than expected not because I/we drive slow and that the traffic was terrible. We stopped at his sisters place in VA for a quick visit with family and a nights rest and then off to the races … Continue reading Travel day – snack box and Alfajores recipe
I have been crazy busy this last week with working on a design consulting gig I was honored to be asked to do. This would be my first paid design job but I have given my friends over the years much advice on how to update and refresh their place for an update or a sale, pick paint colors, choose flooring, countertops you name it. … Continue reading Blueberry muffin – scone
