More snow coming our way and this week’s Menu Plan Monday Every winter I say the same thing: If I ever move across the country to California, it will be because of the snowy winters in New York. Boy am I feeling that way again today. Last week’s Menu Plan Monday post was all about the impending storm due to…

Sorry for the hiatus last week – it was a crazy one, especially with a couple of snow days mixed in! Who else is ready for the winter to be over?!

With Christmas week behind us, it’s amazing that 2014 is only a couple days away. Boy, did this year go by quickly! And right after we toast to the New Year, we’ll be celebrating my twin daughters’ 2nd birthday. I can’t believe they will be TWO!!! Even though you still have New Year’s Eve parties and dinners to get through,…
It’s that time of year again – getting ready for Thanksgiving, which is two weeks from this Thursday! I will once again be hosting, and this year I am hoping to get most everything done ahead of time.

Fall is officially here! That means it’s time to start cooking with my fall favorites: winter squashes (acorn, butternut, spaghetti), brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, hearty greens (Swiss chard, kale), apples and pears! But before we move on, enjoy one last taste of summer: Strawberry Mousse Parfaits. This was my recipe for this month’s No-Cook Desserts Recipe ReDux post – in…

Now’s a good time for a reminder about…

I finally got to one of the local farmers markets this weekend! It’s one of my favorite activities – I love seeing, smelling, and tasting (when there are samples) the local, farm-fresh produce and baked goods.
