I wanted to share with you something sweet that I made this morning, unfortunately it is still in the freezer and I don’t think it will be completely frozen before the end of the day and I really wanted to get my blog out there. So I am going to share another recipe I know is delicious and you should try making it. I have … Continue reading Raspberry Squares
Today my grocery shopping list will have quite a few different ingredients than my usual list. Thanksgiving is quickly coming up and I will be cooking for the family plus. The plus can be friends, extended family and on rare occasions friends of family members; we have had all of the above over the years. This year will definitely look different with the passing of … Continue reading Curly Cues
Sometimes you just need a little treat – I have been making these for as long as I can remember. They were always something yummy to make with the left over dough from making an apple pie crust. While there are many ways to make a pie crust there is only one way to make these, what I grew up calling Curly Cues. There could … Continue reading Curly Cues from leftover dough
I wouldn’t say I had a “bumper” crop of tomatoes this year. My husband hates when I buy too many plants, I don’t know why this effects him; he doesn’t deal with them. Anyway I only bought a few plants and they were doing great until we got SO much rain that they did this whole concentric cracking. Yes I had to google what what … Continue reading Garden Tomato Soup
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
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 honestly didn’t know how long I would stick with it. I didn’t know what my objective for a blog would be. I see bloggers come and go, I see … Continue reading Raspberry Squares
It has been a crazy week and I haven’t made anything new to share so I thought I would bring back an oldie but a goody. I have made this several times and it is always a crowd pleaser. I hope if you haven’t made this recipe yet, it’s time – maybe for the fourth of July bbq? If you haven’t ever purchase or tried … Continue reading Grilled Skirt or Flank Steak
My daughter has been home for a month now, while she was in Japan she and a few of her expat friends started a weekly meal from another country. One of the first things she did when she got home was declared she wanted to continue this tradition here at home. I personally thought it was a great idea. I will admit that my initial … Continue reading Individual Chocolate Chip Cookie
If you are anything like me and I can only assume you might be slightly since you are reading this? I see a recipe that sounds delicious so I either end up printing it or ripping it out of whatever I am looking at. However I do tend to steer clear of ones that look difficult; you know the ones that have the never ending … Continue reading 15 Minute Doughnut Holes
I am definitely open to trying new things; I actually encourage everyone to at least try something before you decide “I don’t like it”. Which is a far cry from how I grew up; I had a strict rule I would not eat anything that was green; except iceberg lettuce. Thankfully I have changed my ways or life would certainly be pretty boring and I … Continue reading Tomatillo Chili w/Pork and Hominy – or as I referred to it as running with scissors
