Going Home

I haven’t been home in a long time. I grew up 5 hours away from where I have made my home for the last 28 years. And since I left in 1991 I have maybe returned three times before this. Once when my father died. Once for a class reunion. […]

Banana and Walnut Stuffed French Toast

I made this recipe today and just changed it a little…instead of egg bread I bought a loaf of french bread. I cut thick slices of the french bread, then cut a pocket into each slice to stuff the banana mixture into. It worked! A great weekend breakfast recipe! Enjoy! […]

Roasted Butternut Squash & Pomegranate Salad

This salad is from Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook “Cravings Hungry for More”. It is a great Fall salad and would be a really special addition to the Thanksgiving meal. It would also be a “special” salad for a dinner party with friends or a “friendsgiving”. It does take a little while […]

What makes us think we’d be happy with more?

Be Thankful Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something For it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be […]

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Jump start Fall with these Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffins. I made these last weekend. It takes a little time because there are actually three steps to making them. They were good, but I think I would add some pumpkin pie spice to these to give them a little more “kick”. […]

PF Changs Lettuce Wraps

Another Pinterest Proven Recipe! We love PF Changs Lettuce Wraps, but living an hour away, it is difficult to visit very often. I found this Pinterest recipe and decided to give it a whirl. I altered it a bit, but they tasted delicious! The original recipe was found at www.food.com. Recipe […]
