Just came back from the garden and here we go again with the baseball bat zucchinis. I harvested quite a few small ones that will be perfect steamed as they are small and tender and will taste fantastic. The large ones, however, can be tough and not quite as flavorful. I like to utilize them [...]

A while back one of my dear friends introduced me to the wonderful taste of Nutella. I wish she hadn’t as I really cannot have it in my house as I have no self control and could easily devour the entire jar in a week. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the year.  [...]

Today was a professional development day, better known as a half day for kids, work for the teachers, but in our school it is BEST known for food. Yep, that’s right! You may be thinking that the teachers in our district get a lot of training so therefore the kids must be a lot smarter. [...]

Here is a treat for what ails you. Of course you need to like pineapple and it would help if you like pie too! I happen to love both. My husband’s birthday was the other day and I usually make the standard b-day cake, chocolate with white frosting with some nice writing on it. This [...]

What a perfect spring weekend. Spring rarely shows up on the first day of spring. Doesn’t make much sense, but if you stop and think about it, it will! However, this year, we celebrated the first day of spring with a meal prepared on the grill and actually eaten outside at 6:30 in the evening. [...]
