Hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone. I totally enjoy the anticipation of Christmas and the hustle and bustle of preparing for the festivities. I had a great Christmas this year. My children all live across the country but this year my youngest, Steve, was able to come home and surprise my husband. [...]

As promised, I will be posting healthy recipes that will be tested by myself and guinea pig husband. Lucky him. This is a dinner that is perfect for this evening. Brrrrrr. It is freakin’ cold out there. The wind is howling and the snow is blowing all over the place. Workout today will be indoors, [...]

Brrrrr. It is just a little nippy and blustery outside. I was thinking of going snowshoeing and probably will when the blizzard subsides but for now it is the perfect time to make some fudge. I have lots of people that I work with that I would love to let them know how much they [...]

It abounds with art sculptures, a very scenic park, and a lovely cafe. Lunch was very tasty. I had a chicken caesar salad served with a side of [...]

I recently had a muffin discussion with my friend Jane. She was telling me about this great muffin she had while visiting the NJ shore this past April. When she told me that it was called a morning glory muffin, I had memories of a local bakery that used to make them. They are a [...]

Who doesn’t love homemade pizza? Pizza is like one of everyone’s favorite food as long as it is made properly. Everyone has their own ideas of what a great pizza crust should be. I happen to like a thick crust that has substance to it. Forget the cracker type, though I have had a couple [...]

Leftover ham? Here is a great way to use it up. I had an incredible tasting ham for Easter and way too much left over. I decided to make a ham and pasta salad as we wanted something different for dinner. Very easy to make and makes a perfect dinner or lunch, light yet still [...]
