I’ve received some requests for my annual “What to do with a deviled egg” post….I hope to post one this weekend. I’ve had a bit of a bug this week and haven’t been eating real food….with that said…I may do a post on the tastiest broths in the grocery store. Hang tight…I can’t makeup some …

Coming Out of My Shell in 2017
First, let me apologize for not posting for the last week or so. With the holiday bustle (and a husband who was home from work….A LOT), my quiet time alone with my computer pretty much disappeared. (Hubby is home now too…but I’m ignoring him.) I had a good holiday but honestly I am just ready …

(For those of you who don’t live in Midwest, we were having 30-40 mile wind gusts so we literally blew into the city!) This was my fifth year enjoying the event that benefits The …
ThanksGivakus
“A fun adult imagination is a terrible thing to waste.” I’m not sure if that is really a quote but I guess since I just wrote it in quotes, I could be quoted for the quote. There are a lot of things I imagine. I don’t live in a world of make believe (or maybe …
Out of My Gourd
It has only been about a week since I tore out my garden and I must say I feel a little batty. There was something about this year’s garden that fulfilled every ounce of my being…..and I’m not just talking about my belly. There was something about going outside and being in the fresh air …
