Hooray! It is starting to feel like spring. The birds are chirping like crazy, the grass is greening up and rumor has it there are some baby bunnies hopping around our neighborhood.

Time is a Changin’ Mac and Cheese
Change. People really have a hard time accepting change. Adjusting to something out of the ordinary seems to throw most people off balance. (I say off balance because it is nicer than calling people crazy.) The time change this weekend is a big one for a lot of people. There are certain people in my …
Bon Appétit Cook The Cover-February 2014
Zoiks!!! I am cutting it close this month. I’ve been doing great keeping my New Year’s Resolutions but I almost let February slip by without cooking the cover of the February Bon Appétit.

The Route to Brussels Sprouts
Have you ever met someone who is map impaired? If not, pleased to meet you. I can’t find a route on a map no matter how hard I try. I was thrilled when I got the PMS (Point Me System) in my car. It helped me get from here to there with little thought or …
Grrrr-r-reat French Toast (Plus Some Mother’s Day Hotspots)
There are a lot of things I like about going out to breakfast. Most restaurants have some sort of fun dish that I wouldn’t take time to make at home. Or maybe they carry a unique ingredient that is hard to find. But what really gets me excited is when I see something absolutely BONKERS …
Pork Tinga: Cinco de Mayo Part Dos
