Add a romantic picnic to your Fall “to-do” list.
Autumn is my favorite time of year! I’ve never been a huge fan of summer so when there’s relief from the hot sun, I begin to enjoy being outside. There are many favorite things I love about fall, raking leaves … Continue reading

Back to the basics…love, laughter, good health and beer bread.

The Waldorf Salad…a dish to pass.
I call myself a potluck snob. Potlucks have never made my list of favorite things for several reasons. First, I’m very critical of other people’s food. I won’t spend more than one bite on mediocre cooking. Secondly, it takes several trips … Continue reading

There are people who love to cook with their kids. I am definitely not one of them. Whoever thought it was a good idea to invite children into the kitchen for fun was most certainly not a control freak like me. … Continue reading

Not your ordinary girl or grilled cheese sandwich.
I’ve always thought I was special. Not just the “Jesus loves you” kind of special but the “destined for fame” kind of special. I think it may have started when my grandmother told me I could be a model because I was tall … Continue reading
