In early June I attended the BlogHer Food Conference in Austin. I had a blast! I mingled with some interesting, creative, and friendly bloggers from all over the country, sampled some yummy food from the sponsors, brought home bags full of goodies from the sponsors and BlogHer team, and had assorted conversations about blogging, food, […]
My mouth is still watering from the yummy pesto I shared with you in my last post. Miss “T” made more than enough to make another meal using her “Italian Parsley Pesto”. I bought some baby eggplant at the farmers market along with fresh tomatoes on the weekend and was deciding how to prepare them when […]
Miss “T” is home from college and bored as she can be. She has looked and looked for a job but to her dismay no one has hired her. Personally I think the jobs were filled by time she was home and able to apply. I’ve made an effort to encourage her to kick back […]
It’s hotter than “blue blazes” in Texas, already! The heat and humidity make me want to eat lighter meals with lots of fruits and veggies. The blueberries at Saturday’s farmers market looked plump and juicy so I brought home a basket for snacking and to put in this healthy yet yummy salad. Low in calories, […]
One of my favorite events that takes place in the summer is the farmers market on the square in downtown Rockwall, Texas. It’s small but growing each year. I manage the gourmet kitchen store on the square, so every Saturday morning I venture over to see what the farmers have for sale.
This week found me in the mood for some chocolate and ice cream. While thumbing through a few cookbooks for ice cream recipes I found inspiration from photos in the Silver Palate Cookbook and decided I would make something chocolate from that particular book. Do you ever do that? Do you ever decide I’m going to […]
It’s become obvious to me that my blog posts are few and far between. My apologies! In my last post I promised a story about my latest bee adventure. Here it is and this is why Mr.F always reminds me, “bee keeping is nothing but problem solving”. Back in mid-May my man Dan and I […]
I find myself so busy of late that my blogging time is minimal. I do not like this. Bee season is in full swing, Miss T is home for the summer, wedding plans are at the beginning of crunch time, I have a job now and on and on…..
Fish Tacos are one of my favorite meals. When my man, Dan brought home some fresh snapper fillets last weekend I seasoned them, threw them on the grill and presto! Fresh fish tacos. It doesn’t get better than this. Luckily I had the ingredients to make the pico and chipotle mayo. Fresh, healthy and perfect […]
Well 2013 is flying past me – I must have blinked one too many times. I enjoy participating in Cecilia’s “In My Kitchen” posts at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. Somehow I let February, and March slip through my buttered fingers and here we are way into April. Before it’s too late I wanted to […]
