Been a minute… I’m still here
It’s been around four months since my last post, and I do apologize for the lapse. While I have been very busy, I could have taken a moment to update rather than wait until things piled up☺️. I’ve been knitting every chance I get as well as painting, drawing, and baking. This post I will…

Finally!
Finally, it’s time to use our new jar of natural, no crappy soy/corn oil mayo! It is SO DELICIOUS simply licking the spoon. Couldn’t wait to sit down to my special recipe pear salad for dinner tonight! And it was a WIN! Rich creamy delicious and so very healthy for the body. Avocado mayo is…

A touch of class
We are in full blown southern summer time heat in our little mountain home. Yet life carries on no matter the weather. Meals must be prepared to feed and energize our bodies. The heat calls me outside to the grill to not only enjoy beautiful summer days while cooking but also to keep from heating…

I’ve never cared for the flat, rectangle, rolled, and cut dumplings. First off, that’s a lot of extra time involved to roll out and cut.…

It’s been a minute.
Here we are in a brand new year, and I have been a bit remiss in posting. But I shall carry onward and forward. Hubby and I both had a 5 day bug that caused us to cancel travel plans for Christmas. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing since we had the cold blast from…

Remember all those strawberries….
That I froze whole last spring? We are now beginning to enjoy the fruits of that labor. Tonight dinner was a bit later than normal because my inner baker jumped out last minute in the form of Strawberry Crumble! Not just any old crumble, but healthy for you crumble. Nutritious oat flour and brown sugar…

Not your granny’s leftovers
It has been years since I had to deal with leftovers at Thanksgiving. The last many years since the kids were grown and gone we have visited with my lifelong best friend and her family for this holiday. I contribute Watergate salad in memory of her mother that always made it and usually add homemade…

Cornbread..a southern favorite
If you have ever lived in or visited the south you would be amiss if you never tried good old southern cornbread. While it is a staple on most southern tables, there are as many versions as there are southerners. My favorite is white cornmeal with a heaping tablespoon of flour mixed in with an…
