Produce Obsession
This is what our kitchen counter looked like on Sunday afternoon… Aside from the plastic storage bags, it was a really lovely sight.

Five Friday Favorites – New Favorites Food Edition
I need to talk about food. OK, I always need to talk about food. But over the last couple of weeks, we have celebrated both Passover and Easter with all kinds of great new things to eat. Of course we’ve eaten a lot more than five things recently – a lot more – but here…

Five Friday Favorites – Comfort Food Edition
How did it get to be Friday? Somehow this week has really sped by me, despite the fact that it has felt eternal. In addition, it’s been mostly cold with some snow and ice this week – real curl up under a blanket and hibernate weather. And so in homage to the icy depths of…

Do wild animals live here? Instead, I have simply collected my favorites from this long holiday weekend in hopes that it will make…

A New Favorite
Can’t lie. Despite my much-needed afternoon off, I am still feeling a bit whirlwindish. Yes, that’s a word. English majors are allowed to make up words whenever it suits them. It’s in the handbook. Anyway… It’s Thursday so I’m joining Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop again. This week I opted for the easy prompt. (Told you…can’t…

Soup of the Week – Pilot Edition
I know that I inherited my love of autumn from my Mother. Nobody loves this season quite like my Mom – I am certain of it. The second that the first waft of cooler air passes by, she throws open the windows and puts a pot of stew on the stove. Mom is also good…
