New Beginnings and Returning to My Roots

August 20, 2012

 Yes, it’s both a new beginning and a return to my roots. 21 years ago I was making plans to leave the home I’d grown up in to start a new life with my future husband. Oh the planning and busy nature of that time, I remember it well. I was working two jobs, going…

Spin Doctor

March 9, 2010

This morning I broke in my new fruit juicer attachment for my Kitchenaid. Let me tell you, “Fresh Squeezed” is NOT the same as homemade, fresh squeezed! Nothing compares to the quality, flavor and sweetness of unprocessed, fresh squeezed, orange juice. Nothing. So, what caused me to finally break in my new spinning fruit juicer?…

How Good We Have It

January 5, 2010

It’s easy to complain. It’s too easy too complain. In fact, it’s downright effortless. Even surrounded by countless blessings, one can find themselves huddled in a corner counting off their inconveniences and missing objects. I was reminded of this tonight. It started with going to the movie with my daughter. She’s reaching the age where…

Family Home Storage I

October 1, 2009

Over the years, I’ve learned the value of blogging a few things – things that I think I’ll remember but find the details got hazy. Some of my best recipe creations have been lost to the haze, but as soon as I started blogging some of my successes I’ve been able to go back and…

Just Do It

August 18, 2009

I’m constantly amazed at the satisfaction and boost it is to get simple things done. I tend to think about the things that need done so often that I’ve done them at least a hundred times in my head before I actually get the job that only takes once to be done. What a waste…

Sweet Success

July 16, 2009

Tonight brought a happy surprise. My daughter has been begging me for quite a while to make her favorite dessert. It’s a miniature chocolate raspberry torte from one of her favorite dinner places, P.F. Changs. We bought some shot glasses and mini spoons shortly after the restaurant started offering their individual sized desserts. We’ve had…
