This week we’re baking Whoopie Pies! I was first introduced to the Whoopie by one of my dear peeps, Belia. Bel and her husband Bill are wonderful friends of our family and we’ve had many great times with Bel and Bill, camping, celebrating Chinese New Year (stay tuned...

Tonight’s dinner was comfort food … a rich beef stroganoff … and I needed an accompaniment. I love to make biscuits and I tend to go to my @redlobster mix (so buttery and garlicy). I found a lovely Baking Powder Biscuit recipe in my fave cookbook so thought I’d give...

Today I’d like to introduce you to another special woman in my life, my mother-in-law Judy. We’ve had a lot of adventures together, many of them in Arizona where her Mother spent the winters. Judy and I spent a lot of time together crafting and hosting large family...

My Mom passed away far too young, at the age of 69, after a very brief cancer journey. In the almost 11 years since her passing, I’ve learned to be grateful for the journey. I spent as much time as I could with her and we both said things we needed to say. Lots of...

My mother used to make these muffins years ago. I had forgotten about them but discovered my recipe and they are once again a hit in our family. I have a container in the fridge almost all the time and my husband cooks up a batch for us every other day. Super easy,...

Have you ever read one of those lists online … it’s miraculous you survived growing up in the ‘70s (or ‘50s or ‘60s)? The list marvels at what we did and ate and yet we survived with wonderful memories. There were no bike helmets. We didn’t wear seatbelts. We ran...
