Books! I like my books the old fashioned way – from the book store or library. I mean, I get having a Kindle or downloading to an iPad especially for the convenience of not hauling around a thick, heavy hardcover volume. Maybe I’ll consider this option before our next big vacation, but last year I […]
Spicy Honey Cider Syrup is a recipe many of you will need this time of year. I’ve been hearing quite a few complaints lately from folks with scratchy throats, nagging coughs and stuffy noses. This is not good news! I always suggest they mix up a batch of Spicy Honey Cider Syrup and give it a […]
Happy New Year! I think many of you may share my feelings of being glad to see 2016 exit and a new year appear on the horizon. How did you ring in 2017? Were there fireworks?

Sweet potato pie simply means ” It’s Fall Y’all”. I am overjoyed that I made this pie with the marshmallow crème meringue as it is the most delicious use of sweet potatoes imaginable. I know, I know it’s just a pie but until you bake one and taste it you can’t conceive the luscious combination of sweet […]
European Style Veggie Soup seemed like a tasty edition to my “soft diet”. My body was trying to heal from a bout of diverticulitis yet it was also begging for some vegetables and nutrients. A soft diet is challenging at best when it comes to incorporating nutrients. Seriously one can only eat so many bowls […]
When I discovered that B Cellars keeps beehives on their property I knew visiting this vineyard would be highly anticipated, not only to see the hives, but I’d arranged a food and wine pairing…my favorite way to go wine tasting!
