We came home to a surprise on Saturday….a box of lobsters from Boston. LIVE LOBSTERS!!!! Have you ever had a box delivered to your house that moved?! It was just crazy. It was somewhat shocking to me to see them moving about. As a carnivore, I understand that before my food gets in a pretty …
We Belong Together
On September 7, 1998 I woke up singing these lyrics: You’re mine and we belong together Yes, we belong together, for eternity You’re mine; your lips belong to me Yes, they belong to only me, for eternity You’re mine, my baby and you’ll always be I swear by everything I own you’ll always, always be …
Bon Appetit Cook the Cover: September
Another new month and another Bon Appetit Cook the Cover to conquer. I never thought that when I made this part of my New Year’s Resolutions that it would become such a big part of my year. I am really enjoying the challenge and am proud to say I am 9 for 9! So this …
(Almost) Labor Free Grilled Vegetable Soup
Can you believe that it is September already??? Did everyone have a great Labor Day weekend? Did you have your grills going? I didn’t barbeque this weekend because I did a family BBQ last weekend for my husband’s birthday, which his mom coincidently calls Labor Day too. (Actually there should be a National Holiday for …
My Recipe for The Recipe
Growing up as one of three girls, I have always had a fondness for TV shows that featured that sisterly component. From everything to the Brady Bunch to Little House on the Prairie to Full House, the bond of the sisters always made me feel lucky to have that same kind of whacky madness in …

Eatlanta: My 3,785,760 Foot Journey
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 …
