Happy Easter! Kind of a dreary day around here in NH and looks nothing like this lovely picture of tulips that I wish I knew how to grow! I just hid a bunch of eggs around the house for my 3 year old granddaughter and I can’t wait for her to arrive and run around the house looking for them. While I was hiding them, … Continue reading Happy Easter – have a lovely day!
Here I was spending too much time on my phone and no prospects for dinner last night. Scrolling along and I came across this pasta recipe where I stopped scrolling for a minute to watch it. Paused it and went through the cupboards and fridge in my mind “do I have everything to make this?” well not exactly but I can make it work. Work … Continue reading Penne Strascicate
I have made this dish several times and where I didn’t make anything new this week I want to share this with you again in hopes that you give it a try.

This is the weekend before the big day.

This year will definitely look different with the passing of … Continue reading Curly Cues

It was a beautiful day and many beautiful tributes to a beautiful woman. She will be missed dearly by so many! My husband and I have been living with … Continue reading Garlic Herb Crusted Center Cut Pork Loin
Sitting in a breakfast joint in Wilmington NC at the moment (Saturday). I had a different plan for this week’s blog but when I packed my bag yesterday (Friday) I thought don’t forget to grab your laptop and guess what I forgot so here we are. Using my phone is not ideal for this so bear with me. I am in NC trying to coordinate … Continue reading Linguine with lemon garlic shrimp
I will be making these for the Patriot’s football game with jalapeno’s from my garden. My plants are still producing, at least for another week, supposed to be another warm week around here. We have been having pub food the last few Sunday’s while the game is on. Just a few short years ago my husband and I pretty much steered clear of Jalapeno’s we … Continue reading Jalapeno Poppers
It is definitely soup season around here, I think they were predicting our first frost. That’s crazy for middle of September but not unheard of. It was 39’F yesterday morning and I did start to close or at least lower most of the windows we had open. I haven’t made this one is a while but It will be on the menu today. I am … Continue reading Sausage Spinach Tortellini soup
