I recreated a recipe that was in my last Blue Apron box with a few modifications. Having made it before, I knew this would give me a good opportunity to get a shot for my #365project #photoaday.#firebreathinggarlic Here’s the recipe with my modifications: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 3 ounces radishes (I went a littleContinue reading “Orange & Kale Salad with Spicy Tahini Dressing”

Snowed in
We have been snowed in since Thursday evening. While I was delighted to have a few days trapped indoors, the one who was the happiest about this situation was Ginger. She has been curled by my side, snuggled into my sweater, and following me from room to room. I am getting the impression she’d likeContinue reading “Snowed in”
for the love of pumpkin
While I could easily eat a Costco size pumpkin pie by myself on a daily basis, I would soon be the size of Costco. So, in an ever evolving desire to be healthy and enjoy the pumpkin pie I love so much, I have been working as much pumpkin into my diet as humanly possible.Continue reading “for the love of pumpkin”
sage advice
I’ve mentioned before I talk to people all day long about the poor decisions they’ve made and how I’m supposed to fix them. What happened to personal responsibility?! Because you’ve dinked around and not taken care of xyz, you now want me to rush and expedite this because you need it yesterday. Too bad, soContinue reading “sage advice”
Thirsty Thursday: Luc Lac

Just one more reason to check this place out. The space is open and the decor is great. Whenever I walk byContinue reading “Thirsty Thursday: Luc Lac”

Brother Normal (I introduced you to the Normal familyContinue reading “deep south heads west, then far east”
good music and pumpkin bread
I have great neighbors. They house sit, fix things and share treats. So when Mrs. Neighbor knocked on the door in the fall and gave me tickets to a series of chamber concerts I was delighted. She didn’t want them because she didn’t like chamber music. What I didn’t tell her was I don’t reallyContinue reading “good music and pumpkin bread”
punch it to me!
Since it is Friday after a long week of snow, slush, rain and mud I thought I would end the week with a cocktail to warm the cockles. I have a friend who presses fresh pear and apple cider every year. There are few things tastier than fresh pressed cider. I spruced it up withContinue reading “punch it to me!”
4th Annual Mac & Cheese-off
What’s better than warm ooey-gooey macaroni and cheese on a cool fall evening? 5 different mac and cheeses! We skipped last year, but this year was back with a vengeance and then some. As with all previous years, there is a slight nod to veggies, but the cheese rules the night. There were several with chile or spicy notes.Continue reading “4th Annual Mac & Cheese-off”
