Hello. It’s been a while. I haven’t been ignoring you – I’ve been sad. My beautiful Mother left this world on November 4th and is now cooking for the angels. She’s earned her wings as she has suffered from dementia for over six years. Dementia is an ugly disease that robs a person of their […]

Somebody save me! HE has a COLD! Men having colds is one of the mysteries of life. Why is it that men completely fall apart over a little cold? He coughs until the rafters shake and blows his nose to the point where the dogs are howling. Why-oh-why is it like this? We are in […]

I’ve been making a lot of soups lately. Because it’s Fall and the season just beckons a hot bowl of deliciousness… Because we’ve been way too busy and it’s easy to prepare and have ready when we hit the door… Because I’ve been taking more meals out to my Mom and her current health is […]

This morning I was browsing through all the wonderful recipes I have pinned on Pinterest and realized how many of them I haven’t made yet! I have been drooling over this one from Closet Cooking for over a year and tonight had all the ingredients in my refrigerator. This recipe screams freshness – fresh shrimp, […]

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I hit it out of the park tonight….with such a simple recipe. One of my life long’s dreams is to get Hubby to appreciate Brussels sprouts. Try as I may, my attempts never registered on his “yum” meter. He basically would eat them out of obligation with maybe a grunt of recognition. No grunts tonight….only […]
