I always wonder how people discover new recipes. Do you just wing it? Copy from your favorite restaurant? Follow a blogger?

Our Night Before Christmas
It was the night before Christmas, when all through this house A creature was snoring and woke up this cute mouse I left the bed quietly with great care, hoping I wouldn’t wake my loving teddy bear All of a sudden as I left the bed, I doubled over and felt kind of dead. …
Happy Holidays
Just a quick note to wish all of my readers a happy holiday season. (Do you think I’m taking this Elf on the Shelf thing a little too far?)
Bon Appétit December Cook the Cover….Resolution Kept
Do you hear what I hear? Are those trumpets tooting my horn? YEP!

Are the Holidays Making You Crackers?
Crackers. Loco. Bonkers. Daffy. Cuckoo. Deranged. Loopy. No those aren’t names Santa rejected for reindeers nor are they the names of some of the helpers in the Santa’s Workshop.

One holiday done….and more around the corner. No matter what your beliefs are gift giving can sometimes be a pain in the rump. People these days buy what they want….when they want it. Unless it is my mom, who does not need to ever shop because giving birth to me has been the best gift …
Giving Thanks for Leftovers
So Thanksgiving is OVER!!! Did you survive drama free or did you dream about taking a turkey leg and shoving it in someone’s pie hole? Did everyone get along or did you have to sedate yourself by drinking your sister in laws wine cooler when she wasn’t looking? Ours was very nice. (Thank you for …
Grateful Even For the Little Things
A complete stranger sitting next to me said….”Thank goodness Thanksgiving is only once a year.” I smiled politely and replied “Should it only be once a year?” This stranger looked at me inquisitively as I proceeded to say we should think about all of the things we are grateful for EVERY DAY. And I’m not …
