Brie & Honey

Beautiful ingredients morph into magic when they come together.

If I were in the mood to be decadent, I might’ve buttered my toast. Maybe I will next time. That sounds like something I’d like to do when the weather cools off a bit in a few months. But, […]

Garden 2016 Update & Bourbon Sidecar

Now, I remember.

It’s easy to forget over a long winter. But, it’s all coming back to me now. If there’s one headache of a garden, it’s the watering system. Something is always breaking. Either we need to buy a new timer here… or a new timer there. […]

Sour Cherry & Brie Sandwich

Sour Cherry & Brie On Oat Nut Bread

Not too long ago, I thought every meal had to be perfection. I’d carefully plan every ingredient to match my bakery and farmers market purchases. I’d only make this sandwich with the perfect bakery loaf of dark whole grain bread. […]

Our House & Peach Blossoms

Peach Blossoms In Our Back Yard

We’ve enjoyed our house for over 12 years now.

Never Give Up!

This beautifully wild tree sure didn’t.

It’s amazing that this […]

My Daiquiri

This is a daiquiri worth drinking…

Even though I stumbled upon a bad bag (bright green and pretty, but dry batch) of limes, I was able to make a very tasty daiquiri with those limes. I nuked each one of my dry (but still fresh looking) limes for […]

Irish Cream Liqueur

Today, I have a cold and a sore throat. I have big plans to spend most of the day curled up with a book under the covers. But, this weekend I’ll be ready to get out and enjoy the day.

Rain or shine.

Though, I’m hoping […]

Sweet & Savory Carrot Salad

With what I thought was a bare pantry, I whipped up this quick and easy salad in about 5 minutes. Eaten immediately, it was perfect. After a few hours, as expected, a touch of the crunch disappears. But, it was still crispy enough to enjoy for days. Pink Lady apples […]

Gingerbread Granola

Who has time to mess around in the kitchen first thing in the morning? I don’t. That’s for sure. So, the best weekday breakfast is a quick and easy breakfast. This fits the bill. And, it’s so satisfying and delicious it feels like a treat. The only way to make […]

Blueberry Bread

We love blueberries.

Fresh blueberries, jam, dried, preserves, fruit leathers… You name it. If it works for fruit, blueberry whatever it might be tops our list.

Beautifully plump, we both loved the blueberries from Sprouts. They’re finding their way into everything from morning yogurt to pancakes […]

My Favorite On The Run Sandwich

With a view like this, we never wanted to leave. So, it was time for us to get creative with our nibbles. A quick and easy sandwich was our go-to snack. This one is great to throw in your bag. Forget about it for […]
