I don’t know about you but I am definitely in countdown mode. There is a great deal of anticipation about the upcoming Community Table fundraiser in Greensboro. If you’ve not read my two previous posts and learned of all the amazing participants, I’m talking top chefs, distilleries, breweries and more, you can catch those here […]
We love visiting and shopping our local Farmers Curb Market in Greensboro. Dating back to 1874, open Saturdays 7am- noon and Wednesdays from 8am-1pm, it is one of the oldest markets in North Carolina. Offering a variety of fresh, local produce, baked goods, arts and crafts, as well as milk, eggs, meat and seafood. On […]
Greensboro’s Community Table dinner in conjunction with Triad Local First is fast approaching. Held each year in the fall, Community Table is the only fundraiser for Triad Local First. This year the event is being held at Double Oaks B&B, a gorgeous historic property which will definitely set the stage for an evening of amazing […]
I had quite a surprise when I went out to disassemble my bee hives at the Greensboro Science Center last week. After discovering that the hives were gone I decided to take apart the hive components and start with new ones this spring. When I’d checked and found that the bees were gone I had […]
We had a chilly, damp weekend and quite a lazy, yet productive Sunday. Before we got busy sorting and purging in the attic I made Buttermilk Pancakes with Maple Bourbon Syrup. It is so delicious that I plan on making large batches of this infused syrup and storing it up for future pancake breakfasts. I […]
Kitchen Remodel Complete – I say this with a giant smile across my face! Have you ever done a total kitchen remodel? This is my second time to gut a kitchen and start from scratch. The first time was in our country home in Texas. I loved that kitchen but wanted a new look for […]

Today at yoga practice the teacher encouraged us to focus on peace. Sounds rather cliche for a yoga class – wouldn’t you say? In spite of that, the concept was not only to focus on peace within ourselves but how a small, kind gesture to another can help to spread peace one step at a […]
I would like to introduce you to the Science Center Honey Bees! Because of the role a honey bee plays in producing the food we eat, berries, peaches, almonds, beans, peppers, tomatoes….the list goes on and on, I feel lucky to be at the forefront of educating the kids, parents, teachers, grandparents and care givers that visit […]
I love fruit crisps. After making this sweet, mixed berry crisp with real vanilla beans, cardamom, cinnamon and a pecan crunch topping I’m certain they rank at the top of my favorites list. I even like the way the juice bubbles up and over the edges. These sweet crisps would make a great non-traditional Valentine’s Day […]
