Not just to me, but to my loyal readers and I hope some new ones as well. After fighting with an apparent “push” by Facebook that has derailed my newsfeed (and with no fix, reason, explanation, or CARE from FB), I will no longer be using that site.
Instead, I have invited new and old friends to receiving updates either via subscribing...
I love eggs. One of Nature’s wonders of the food world. I would love to eat them everyday, but my family history is peppered with heart health issues so I only indulge when I really, really, really have a craving for them.
Yesterday was one of those days. I came back from a bike ride and while cooling down from the physical exertion, I started having a hankering for egg salad for...
This is 2 years in the making. Well, technically dreaming of making it over the last 2 years, but the other day I finally had an epiphany about the mushrooms in this pizza.
Hubs is back working in NY state temporarily on a special project and pretty much the first thing I asked was if Uno’s Shroom Pizza is still on the menu. Sadly no, they pulled it off again. I can...
I really wish I could have met Fuerig in person. With his glossy black locks and cool demeanor, I could envision him strutting around the paddock like a camelid version of Fabio, beckoning to the ladies housed in the next pasture over with a “hello gorgeous, come here often?” line.
Since the owner sold him for breeding stock before I arrived at the ranch, the next best thing was to acquire 2 of his...
Tonight’s dinner was a snap, especially when you already have 2 of the star ingredients cooked and on hand. In this case, it was the squash and beans. I am a bean snob, I prefer to rehydrate and cook my own vs canned beans, something about starting out from scratch that has always appealed to me, in whatever I do.
Anyway, back to quesadillas! and yes, another (say it with emphasis now)…...
I am sure I am not the only one that hates wrestling a duvet into its over-sized pillow case periodically. Been doing it for years and always procrastinate about washing the cover just to avoid the impending wrestling match.
As I was mentally getting psyched up for the task I had a brain wave, a storm surge, an epiphany….whatever you call it, this GREAT idea popped into my head.
CLOTHESPINS!

I think last night was one of the best creative nights in the kitchen that I have had in a very long while. I turned out a fabulous vegetarian dish packed full of vitamins and protein that can be used as a stand alone meal or be a great accompaniment to grilled chicken or salmon. Sometimes I amaze myself with my ingenuity. Believe me though, I have...
Today I was waffling. Waffling about whether to make cheddar chive biscuits, or cheddar chive muffins.
So I made cheddar chive cornbread instead. I know, sometimes what I think I want, I don’t want at all. The mind of a woman was clearly at work here.
Since I had just given my rapidly sprouting chive plant a trim last weekend, it was a good time to rummage through my recipe files...
Thank goodness the cold and snow is now behind us and we can look forward to (in my opinion) the shortest and BEST season we have ~ SUMMER!
I have been so busy this past 6-8 weeks, not just with work (my busiest time of year) but also ramping up my gardening chores. The raised beds have had their plastic rolled down to thaw the frozen earth and 2 weeks ago I...
