The house smells like cooking. Pungent garlic mixed with creamy butter for baked garlic bread, the rich, sweet, seductive scent of chocolate in our fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies that has just emerged from the oven, the green, fruity smell of unfiltered olive oil, boiled whole grain pasta and the sharp scent of fresh…
I’m so excited to be spending the weekend with my BFF Jana. Lots relaxing and knitting planned. I’ll be heading out the door in about an hour, but I just had to stop by and share this delicious recipe with you. This is a wonderful, healthy breakfast dish for any day of the week. We…
What the what? 51K on facebook? My blog has been filling up with so many comments I sincerely can NOT keep up. I truly never thought that would be a problem for me. Not that what I’m saying isn’t terribly interesting (because , come ON, it is) 😉 But I was getting use to one…

Another snow day and another fun day spent with my girls. Andie brought the Princesses over again today, and we all munched on malted milk waffles (recipe coming soon!) for breakfast… and THIS salad for lunch (with a few renditions…even the little ones liked it!) We vegged out, had tea, and binge-watched programs on the…

Time to get in the groove again. I had sooooo much fun just being lazy over vacation, but now it’s time to focus. As I mentioned in my last few posts, I’m concentrating on health this year. I’ll be cooking lots of good-for-you stuff, and adding those recipes to my repertoire. I’ll try not to…
