A few weeks ago, I was at Panera bread making a purchase. It was pretty late and as they were putting things away I was offered a loaf of bread for free. Of course I said yes without even asking what kind it was! It sort of has a sourdough bread feel and taste but…

Blogger Festival – Pay it forward Blogger Style
Last month, a woman named Jenni Field over at Pastry Chef Online blog posted a fantastic suggestion on a Food Blogging Group I belong to that we should all “pay it forward” for the bloggers who have helped or inspired us throughout the last year. Since 2012 was my first full year of consistent blogging,…
Homemade Cherry Mash Candy
My dad loved Cherry Mash candy but he was diabetic and could only have one once in a while. When the candy company came out with the Mini-Cherry Mash, it was a very good day at our house. Dad was bed fast by then and I was taking care of him full time while my…
Sugar Cookies
As many of you know, I do not make New Year’s Resolutions. Instead I choose something new to learn about all year-long. One year it was cooking, another it was how our tax money goes from our paycheck to the dispersed programs we support, and yet another was the year I learned about art. So,…
Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
I am bone tired! I got up at 4AM this morning, my day off, so I could get started on all the projects I have to do, get my hair cut and colored, and supper on the table. I got most all that completed and I will post pix of my projects soon but tonight,…

First, I want to thank everyone for your good comments, thoughts, and prayers during this time of loss for our family. I want to share a quick recipe that I made accidentally last spring for my mom’s women’s group. It was a hit with those ladies so I made another today to go with the…
Angels on Horseback
If I had titled this “Rumaki” you may still not have known what I was posting about today but when I say chicken liver – I’m losing a bunch of you! Please try to bear with me because I do have something for you at the end, I promise. I’ve had a love affair with…
Taco Meatball Wreath Appetizers or a Meal
Several days ago, I was reading my FB newsfeed when one of the pages I follow showed this great picture saying they were preparing that meal for dinner. The page is called Briar Rose Bed and Breakfast. The B & B is a beautiful place in Reedsville, Pennsylvania and the proprietors are just lovely people!…
