So many new dreams and schemes on the docket for the new year. I’m adding goals to my list slowly as to not overwhelm myself and then just quit everything. Are you like this? I am an avid list maker and I tend to over-do it. I’m thinking if I have both sides of a…
Happy New Year! I hope you’re having a great start to 2013. We’re lazy this morning after staying up to watch all the festivities in New York’s Times Square. Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Eve wasn’t the same without Dick, but it was still fun to watch all the awesome performers and, or course, to see that…
We’ll be on the road shortly. We’re taking a little road trip to the Mall of America and IKEA for some shopping and then we’re going out to lunch. I’m looking forward to finding lots of fun things for my kitchen. IKEA is such a fun place to visit for inspiration. It’s a beautiful, snowy…
This was a really yummy side dish with the hubby’s Chicken Marsala (recipe coming soon) and my browned butter mashed potatoes. Crispy, garlicy, with a little lemony tang and salty bacon. You’re going to love this! heat oven to 450 degrees F. 1 lb. fresh brussels sprouts 1/2 lb. thick-cut bacon (any type…we like Nueske’s)…
Yesterday at this time I was busy in my kitchen, making the batter for these deliciously spicy and beautifully fragrant waffles. Oh myyyyy, were they ever good! This recipe makes about 8 of the big Belgian waffles, so unless you’re having company, you may have enough left over to freeze. To do this, I just…

I promised a bunch of you this recipe for my easy cheesy jalapeno skillet cornbread to go with that glorious white chili I posted yesterday. This is wonderfully moist, just a little spicy, and perfect cut into big chunks and…
Only two days until Christmas, and we’re still busy with last minute preparations. Making treats, marinating chicken for a very special dish, wrapping, and shopping for stocking stuffers. If you’re as busy as I am, you’ll appreciate this easy, delicious recipe for white chili. Make a little tossed salad to go with it, throw some…
Christmas vacation begins today at around noon. I’m cleaning our cottage, freshening things up for the family gatherings and festivities to come. As soon as I got up this morning I could hear the icy wind whipping around outside. Without even checking the weather, it was easy to tell that it would be a fleece,…
Happy Thursday! What a beautiful day it is here in bluff country. We’re enjoying a snow day… Everything is frosted in a dreamy white covering of the fluffy white stuff. It’s still coming down, slow and lazy. Gracie is busy cutting out paper snowflakes to hang in the bay window seats….and so far I’ve been…
Good Friday afternoon Lovelies. I took a break from writing for a couple hours to treat myself to a leisurely cup of tea with my daughter Andie, some recreational reading, and a stroll to the Antique Mall a couple blocks from my house. I am SO excited about what I found… several great pieces… but…
