August is my favorite month to go to farmer’s markets. I just seem to find more food treasures during this time of the year. Our stands seem to have everything from berries to tomatoes to beans. (Sometimes they have nice young farmhands too but I’m not allowed to bring any of them home.) On my …

Relishing the Reunion
There is something that comes along with a marriage. You may like it, you may not. You may want to be part of it all the time or maybe just on special occasions. There may be days you will feign a headache just to get away from it. Any married person would know that I …
Lasagna as I know It
*I have deleted my original post and hope you will like my substitution. Who doesn’t like lasagna? When you mention the dish; a person is likely to tell you about how their family made it. Everyone’s family recipe is “the best” and people tend to lean toward the flavors they grew up eating. After I …
DATE Night
One thing that has kept my marriage of almost 13 years strong is Date Night. To most people that probably means going out to dinner, maybe dancing or a movie. For us, it means a night to eat dates! (Just kidding, we aren’t that lame.) I had never had a date before I met my …
Bruschetta Basics
One of my favorite parts of summertime is the abundance of fresh tomatoes. I would love to say I have a green thumb and grow them all myself but I didn’t inherit that gene from my mother. I am fortunate to live near some wonderful gardeners who always share their bounty. (They don’t grow anything …

(Oh no, another post about blueberries.) Apparently when there is an option to go out and pick blueberries everyone feels the …
Bacon Vacation
August is almost here and that means one thing to a lot of people….vacation. Fortunately for me, a lot of my friends consider coming to my house a vacation! (If you ever have seen my house, you would realize William Shatner couldn’t get them a great deal anywhere better so they had to come here.) …
Yam Good, Sweet Potato Fries
Everyone has a guilty food pleasure…..or two. It usually is something that we know is bad for us but we indulge and eat it anyway. One of my guilty pleasures is French fries. I love to go on errands and grab some fries as my energy booster. The thought of the salty starch combination makes …
Berry Fun Lemonade
I did something last night that I’ve never done before. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. It was sweet and tart all at the same time. The best part was that it was a woman responsible for my pleasure! I’m sure you have guessed by now, I now have new favorite lemonade. …
Me So Corny
When I see it, I become distracted. They come in various sizes and colors. I’ve seen them long and thin and short and fat. I’ll even admit that I just love to put my mouth on one. So do you like fresh corn off the cob as much as I do? One of the best …
