So avocado is green, right? Right! Mango does not come from anywhere near where I live but I went for it anyway, as they looked unblemished, plump and juicy! Today’s post of Avocado & Mango Salad is a delicious way to get into the mood for spring.
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 […]
It’s amazing how when you have a family member who is relegated to a “soft” diet for a few days how much soup needs to be simmering on the stove. Miss T had wisdom teeth extracted on Saturday and was ordered to stick with a soft diet for one week. Are you kidding me?
Now that I’ve declared January “orange” month I’m feeling so cheerful, even with the cold, grey, wet days our week started off with. 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 […]
Today I heard the first trill of Cedar Wax-Wings. Winter is a great time to see many species of birds in North Texas. It is sunny and chilly, but a perfect day for the birds to be out and about. Robins are making their presence known as well as Goldfinch, Cardinal, Sparrows of all types, […]
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 […]
As I was looking through the lens of my camera, while photographing this applesauce, I heard a soft little “bzzzzz”. I pulled my eye away from the camera to discover a sweet little bee stopping by for a sample of homemade applesauce. Now she is one smart bee! The hives are not near where I […]
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 […]
