One of my favorite ways to prepare vegetables is to roast them. This is not a very difficult thing to accomplish and there is great value in cooking up a large batch of roasted vegetables and having them on hand for a few days, ready in an instant as an accompaniment for any dinner or [...]

Today was the first day of spring at my school, well at least it tasted like it. We have a great staff at our school and there is one thing that we can count on: have a luncheon buffet and everyone goes all out to supply the tastiest of delights. People involved in this little [...]

What I discovered about Splenda is it is disgustingly gross and tastes like a chemist’s testtube leftovers. Yuck! Why this rant?  Yesterday I baked a cake with Splenda to help my friend out who wanted to make a cake for her diabetic sister’s birthday. We went on-line and found a recipe for a marble cake [...]

Saturday morning, time to cook, buckwheat pancake mix at hand, only one thing to do-make a batch for breakfast. I decided this was the perfect day for a warm breakfast as winter’s grip will not let go! What’s with this? It is soooo cold out that I decided that buckwheat pancakes aren’t going to kill [...]

If any of my readers are Facebook users than they are familiar with the 25 Things About Me fad that is occuring. Not an easy thing to accomplish. My daughter in law had it right when she started it with 16 things. That was almost doable. 25? Good luck with that. But, it got me [...]

Here is a delicious beverage that would be a hit at any time of the day (though I would find it hard to swallow this at breakfast). I learned of this from a friend, Kristen, who just happened to invent this. It sounds like a nice fall drink, but I think it’s a go any [...]
