Well, the first snow fall hit us and as usual, it wasn’t much and didn’t last. We were, however, a house divided. My husband woke up, looked out the window and crawled back in bed . I got up and poured a cuppa and tried to enjoy the beauty. The dogs headed out the back … Continue reading
She is Getting Ready for Snow
As if 2020 doesn’t suck enough, it looks like snow will begin to fall tomorrow. It has been great to get outside during this pandemic and I wonder how we will survive being cooped up as the temps begin to dip. Perhaps a little comfort food will help. These are two of my tummy warming … Continue reading
She is getting squishy in quarantine… #covid19pandemic
As Leslie Jordan would say, “Hello my fellow hunker downers!” If you haven’t discovered him on insta, he is worth a view.

She found her recipe box

She loves a holiday tradition…
On Christmas Eve, our family gathers to build gingerbread houses and make memories. Part of the tradition is a big helping of clam chowder. Below is the recipe I serve up year after year.

She is getting in the spirit…
This year Thanksgiving was celebrated with lovely friends, family and one of my chicks back in her nest (along with her amazing sidekick, Ryan). My sister whipped up a few batches of her special Chex mix. Just the right treat to munch on while you are watch the game. Hope you enjoy and think of … Continue reading
