They seemed perfectly fine when I closed up the hives in late October, knowing winter was […]
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 […]
