I am truly in countdown mode for Monday night’s Central Market class. Only 2 days until the big event. I have an interesting and I hope engaging format for teaching a bit about bees, honey and the benefits of both. My man, Dan is my head audio visual guy and he’s put together an entertaining […]
In three days I will be the guest chef at Central Market Cooking School. You might already know this and if so I apologize for the repetition. I thought it would be fun to share the recipes we will be preparing on that night with my blog readers – that’s YOU! By the way I […]
In just a few days I will be conducting my very first Central Market Cooking School class. I am ready to do this! Here is the link – http://www.centralmarket.com/Stores/Fort-Worth.aspx. If you’re close by and would like to sign up click on the cooking school icon, I believe there are a few seats available.
I concluded that with today being Leap Day in this Leap Year I should take full advantage of it and write one last post featuring “soup”. Ah, yes soup month has come to an end. Today’s soup is a Moroccan Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup. Somewhat of a departure for me as I have never […]

This recipe not only showcases the healthy orange carrot but is full of flavor from freshly zested orange rind. You see I’m still captivated by my new micro-planes and looking for any […]
Last weekend my man Dan was in Las Vegas, sin city, to photograph the goings on at a convention for one of his clients. His take on L.V. is, “it’s like Disneyland on crack”. I don’t think he saw the light of day until he’d been there for three days and was forced to venture […]
This week I acquired 2 more bee hives. My man Dan and I removed 2 hives from 2 water shut off boxes, both in the same yard, just a few feet from each other. The entire removal and set up took us about 5 hours. Luckily it was a bit cloudy and cooler on the […]
To quote Lucy Van Pelt in Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Today I made a Chocolate Pecan Loaf Cake, I’ve got love, but I needed a little chocolate. I am considering submitting a few recipes for a holiday recipe contest sponsored […]
Beautiful isn’t it? I can say that because I didn’t make this stuff – my bees did! I am so proud of my first honey harvest. I’d like for you to read more about it and see more photos, taken by my man Dan. Go to the “Bees & Honey” page up top and you’ll […]
Seventeen days of temperatures topping 100*. Thank goodness for an air-conditioned home where we can find respite from the intolerable heat. One of our favorite ways to spend the late afternoon or cocktail hour is lounging in our rockers on the back porch, with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside, complete with grazing cattle, […]
