Fritzy Boy.
This is my little guy, Fritz, last year when he turned 4. What do you think of the fabulous cake? (Please note sarcasm. My vision was not realized.) Today he turns 5. It’s been a long, productive year for him. He attended a special ed/speech preschool and finally started talking. It was a blessing for […]
Cinco de Mayo
I’m not Mexican (or French), but I still love to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. So funny how we have glommed onto that holiday and made it one of our own here in the U.S. What are you making? Us? Well, I have some Springer Mountain Farms chicken thawing out so I can toss it into […]
Strawberry Pavlova Cake.
Seventeen days ago I turned 30. Yep. I’m counting. Along with days I’m counting wrinkles and white hairs. The white hairs are easy because they stick straight up and misbehave. I won’t lie. Turning 30 got me down. Two days before my big day, I started to sniffle and sneeze. Then my throat starting hurting […]
Tania’s Birthday.
This is my dear, sweet friend Tania who I met years ago when I still lived in New York. I’ve mentioned her a few times before. She is one of the greatest women and mothers I know. One of my favorite memories of Tania was when she came to visit me and bring me dinner […]
Kitchen Must-Haves.
My husband, bless his heart, has been the master of gift giving as of late. The man can do no wrong in this department anyway. He has a sixth sense and manages to buy me something I would have never bought for myself, but soon can’t live without. Because we’re on such a tight […]
White Bean, Goat Cheese, and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad
I allow myself a few cheats when it comes to the new eating regimen. Goat cheese is one thing that I can’t live without. That’s why I will never be a true vegan. (I also still use the tiny sample tubes of Lansinoh I snagged from the hospital when I gave birth. It makes my […]
Caramel Apple Gingerbread Upside Down Cake
As of yet, I have not enjoyed enough gingerbread in my life. When that day comes, I will let you know. I’m working on stocking my cupboards with ingredients so I can take the scary plunge into the unknown (to me) world of gluten-free baking. Why, oh why, doesn’t wheat like me? I’ve asked myself […]
New Year’s Feast.
Oh, I know it’s been over two weeks since we all ushered in the New Year. It’s taken me that long to go through the dozens and dozens of pictures of our January 1st Feast. Our dear friends couldn’t make it to our early dinner party, so we packaged up part of the meal, my […]
Chard with Potatoes and Tomatoes
Leafy greens. We hear so much about them these days. The world, including me, has woken up to the fact that we need to eat these super greens daily for optimal health. Now, if you are like me, you might be a little scared to try them. Believe me, I was. I mean they’re totally […]
Peanut Butter Brownies with Milk Chocolate Ganache
It must be said, my kids would not eat these. I know, right? Chocolate and peanut butter. They wouldn’t eat them? Are they crazy? I’m blaming it on the post-holiday sweet overload. My husband and I greatly enjoyed this yummy little bars. (This is pre-detox, of course.) I cut them into bars and put […]
