I have been baking and cooking a good bit lately and have had a hard time knowing what to post about this week. I thought maybe a dessert, since it has been a few posts since I’ve written about sweet stuff. I also thought I might write about something Mother-inspired. Then it hit … Continue reading Lemon Berry Trifle: A Mother’s Day Tribute
I became a fan of King Arthur Flour a couple of years ago, thanks to my friend, Steve - the bread-man. This company produces great flour and a very useful website, filled with beautiful recipes. So, when I saw online that they have published a cookbook, I was excited to get it. I put … Continue reading Wheat Crackers: Cooking Lab #2
Do you ever find a recipe that is so tasty that you find yourself thinking about how and when you can fit it into your menus for the week, who you can share it with, or how you can justify making it? This is the case with this Brazilian Lemonade. My friend, Melissa S., was coming … Continue reading Brazilian Limonada
Seasons. I am so thankful that there are seasons in life. I know in Tennessee, we really get to experience all of the seasons of the year while in other parts of the country/world the shift is not as obvious. There is great therapeutic value for me in living life by seasons. Forming and maintaining … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season for Wrap-Making

It's a staple in our home and a treat I enjoy sharing with others. However, I've … Continue reading Granola Bars (and meeting Joy the Baker…kinda)
Is "dinner" the evening meal or is it the mid-day meal? Or is the BIG meal, regardless of what time the meal is served? At our house, dinner is the evening meal, and although it is not formal, it is the larger, hot meal of the day. I guess you can call that supper. … Continue reading Party Chicken and Rice – Easter Main Dish
I love cake. I love coconut. I love sweetened condensed milk. I love whipped cream. I love easy recipes that are make-ahead and get better with time. I love/hate desserts that I enjoy so much that I strategize all day about which moment will be the one that I will open the fridge and cut … Continue reading Easter Coconut Cold Cake
I have a theory when shopping. When I find something I love that costs less than $20 I might just buy it on the spot. However, if it's more than $20, I usually walk away and think about it. If I find myself keeping on thinking about it, then I know I might need to … Continue reading Special Roasted Pear Salad
Why do we remember what we remember? Does it ever strike you how much more vivid some memories are than others? I have been thinking about this lately. I remember several of my birthdays of my 40 birthdays much more specifically than others. This week Lucy and I went to Panera and as we pulled into … Continue reading The Wonder of Memory & Raspberry Meringue Cookies
