Having been home less than a week from our fabulous island vacation I’m beginning to settle in to my home routine…it is just the beginning of summer and not having to go to work is a bonus. I’m pretending I’m on a stay-cation now and making the most of the simpleness of summer on the Ridge. […]
Wow! That was a blast….being guest chef at Central Market’s Dinner With The Orange Bee. Leading up to class I shared all of the tasty recipes we would make. I wanted to recap the evening, briefly. Then I”ll be sharing a peachy little recipe with you. The folks at CM were very easy and pleasant […]
I hate to do this, but I’m going to have to give credit where credit is due. I owe it all to Oprah. In one of her more recent “O” magazines she dedicates a few pages to pies. They all look delicious but the ones that caught my eye were these cute little hand pies. […]
The heat has returned to North Texas. It seems as though we might break that record after all for # of days with temps reaching 100 or higher. After all those wicked hot days we’ve had I said, “why not tack on a couple of more just to break the all time record!” Fall is […]
Hatch recipes are history for a while – I’ve moved on to peaches. Throughout the summer I’ve found it interesting to see my fellow bloggers in different parts of the country blogging about peaches. Greg and Katherine over at Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide: http://rufusguide.wordpress.com/ have blogged about peaches since late June. You can find recipes for […]
If you can’t beat the heat- may as well join it! That’s just what we did last weekend when we brought home bags full of fresh hatch chiles from Central Market. We sampled so many food items with hatch chiles in them that we didn’t even need lunch that day. We brought home fresh hatch […]
I am a tad baffled – last year I harvested over 150# of peaches from my two peach trees – this year maybe 15-20#. I’m dismayed by the lack of fruit coming from my trees this summer, but I’ve managed to put what did come off to good use. Peachy Keen Cobbler is the latest […]
I have a basket full of peaches! There are so many recipes I could use for the abundance of peaches sitting on my table. Today I chose to make “Peach-Mango Salsa” to accompany the roasted chicken I was preparing for dinner. It is one of those days where I dream up a recipe to facilitate […]
Fruit: the sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French, from Latin fructus‘enjoyment of produce, harvest,’ from frui ‘enjoy. The last two days have yielded the first peaches from my two peach trees. It is always a thrill to pick the first ripe peach of the season and […]
When I left the chiropractor today he smiled and said, “I’ll always think of you as the bee lady”. “Okey dokey! I’m good with that”, I replied, pleased that he tacked lady on the end. Thinking okey dokey made me think of those kinds of sayings. Like zig-zag, heebie-jeebie, nitty-gritty, bee-knees, (couldn’t leave out that […]
