Sorry for being out of touch this past week. My husband had a business trip to Atlanta and I tagged along to taste the local fare. I must say Atlanta is an amazing food city and I can’t wait to go back. The food was so inspiring as were the people I met. I had …

Info-Blogger Review: T-fal OptiGrill
Saturday morning and you are the first one up….what do you do? Do you make yourself a cup of coffee, flip on the TV and then find yourself watching a 30-minute infomercial? I do. I get mesmerized by the way things are presented and the food always looks so good. So this past month, I …
August Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
There are many reasons why I love the month of August. First and most importantly, it is the month my beloved husband was born. He definitely makes my world a better place. (Um, do those sweet words count as a birthday gift?) I also love August because kids start going back to school and my …
A Crisp, A Cobbler and a Crumble Walk into a Bar
Why wouldn’t you want a cobbler to run for office? Odds are he’d be im”peached”. That was hysterical! Do you want another joke? Or do you think my peach jokes are the pits? (I’m here all night!) So with peach-a-palooza going on in my house right now, I decided that I needed to make …

July Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
It is the end of the month which can only mean one thing….it is time to cook the cover of Bon Appetit! July’s issue may be my favorite issue so far this year. It wasn’t that I was completely enamored with the cover recipe (Mint and Cumin Spiced Lamb Chops). I like lamb chops but …
Monday Mourning
Sorry folks, I’m not writing about food today because I am sad. Really sad. I’ve lost someone close to me. Every time I sit down to write, my mind goes directly to him. I think some of you know who I am talking about….Archie Andrews. Sigh. It has been in the papers this past week …
Red Gold Summer Grillin’ Party II
Where are my tomatoes??? This summer has been so cold that my tomatoes are JUST starting to surface. I think I’ve picked a pint of grape tomatoes and that is about it. . (I mean seriously, it was in the 50’s at one point yesterday….during the day…when the sun is out!!!) My stash of canned …
