Things are starting to open up around here, though I am not in any hurry to get out there and see what’s going on. I am still a little nervous about getting covid though I am slightly thinking it is inevitable. There are too many opposing views for me to be totally on board with any of them. I am just taking it one day … Continue reading cookie dough – chocolate chip and oatmeal

This week was not spent in the kitchen and most of my garden tomatoes are still not ripening. I literally had to google what the heck is wrong with them. Apparently my original thought was completely wrong. I thought my plants were so large and the roots and earth were not getting enough heat. I did not know that some varieties will not turn red … Continue reading Garden Salsa

I am going to share this recipe with you that I originally posted about 5 years ago. Yeah I know I can’t believe I have been writing a weekly blog for about 6 years now.

Basically take a 9×13 container … Continue reading Thanksgiving Leftover Egg Roll
So last week I mentioned having some cookie bars cooling while I was writing. They are all gone, no I didn’t eat them all by myself I had some help. Actually it is kinda funny that my son who doesn’t live here anymore but works with my husband so is here most mornings does a drive-by of the stove and immediately looks to see what … Continue reading Cranberry-Pistachio Cookie Bar
I am sitting here this morning drinking my tea and trying to figure out what to say. Which is kinda funny for me, as most of my friends and family will gladly tell you; I always have something to say. Just sharing – It took me longer to write this than it did to make a platter of these the other night. Today is our … Continue reading Prosciutto Mascarpone bites

Ya I know that doesn’t really scream diet and exercise but I do THINK about it so that’s something right? OK so we spent New Years weekend in Quebec City with a bunch of friends and … Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Boats
