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
Good morning and Happy Easter! I hope everyone is hanging in there, I know I say that every week now but I don’t know what else to say. I am going on week 5 of working from home, I think I have left my sanctuary maybe 5 times over the last month. The last time it was for my husband he injured himself and ended … Continue reading Scalloped Potatoes
So I am going to go out on a limb that when I posted this recipe 4 years ago; none of you made it. Do you want to know how I know. I googled my blog while I was at the store to make sure I had what I needed and noticed I left out an ingredient hmmmmmm. Not my first time and probably won’t … Continue reading Scalloped Potatoes – must try
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.

I was sitting at the island yesterday morning updating a couple of FB pages we have, my husband’s company website and scheduling some cooking classes when my husband decided he would love for me to make him some clam chowder. I didn’t have any clam juice or can’s of clams in my cupboard. which is kind of shocking to even me, especially since they would sit quite nicely … Continue reading Clam Chowdah – I am from New England – it’s legal
A few years ago Calamari was another one of the things my son asked me to make that I had never made before. I am not sure if he is getting me back for making him try everything on his plate; which is still a rule in my house today. Or if he is testing to see if I can pull it off. Now that … Continue reading Fried Calamari – easier than you think
My mother-in-law mentioned the other day that she was looking for some crock-pot recipes, I noticed a slow cooker magazine at my local grocery store and I figured I would check it out and then give it to her. While looking at it I started marking pages; I can’t tell you how many times I see a recipe that looks awesome and make a note … Continue reading Chicken White Wine, Tarragon and Cream – slow cooker
I have had a garden every year for the last 25+ years. Every year there is a crop or two that just does not do well; my tomatoes have never been one of them. Though they seem to all come at the same time which is not ideal as who could possibly eat 30+ tomatoes before they go bad. I do give some away; I … Continue reading Soups on – Yummy Tomato Soup from my garden

It mixes easy in one bowl … Continue reading Crazy Chocolate Cake
