Catching up since October… spring has sprung! Wow it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged but I’ve been snapping shots and recording memories in my mind for that precious luxurious day when I can sit and ponder and write about what I’ve been doing, my commitment to myself to preserve memories to share (which I…

what to do to not waste and enjoy your veggies- hot and sour crockpot soup
When I thought about this post it was inspired by a few things. First, I confess, I have a major issue of buying too much food. Think it’s the history of being in a family of 7 (5 kids)… I don’t know how to think to buy for less than a family of 4, so…
Holy fish! Caribbean cayenne mahi and lemon almond kale
A game play delay resulted in a dinner unexpected a few days later… Planning to cook on a Friday when last minute plan changes came up, resulted in prepping the fish and then letting it sit for a few days. Mahi was prepared with olive oil and topped with a blend of “magical” Caribbean spice…
Pistachio chicken warms the heart….dinner without a plan
I’m really behind on my blogging here, but I’ve been super busy. As I’m cooking I’m capturing photos, but not remembering a lot of the details but here’s what I can remember and it’s totally worth whatever I can remember because it was yummy! That phrase a picture is worth a thousand words is my…
Summer BBQ’s beckon some spice. Cornbread that will have you craving for another slice…
Wow it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here… so while I am collecting ideas on my next postings, this one was easy enough to do. Since my last posting I got a new job at a company I love and did some traveling to Florida, UK and Germany (for the first time). Sadly I…
Back from vacation into the kitchen, easy like sunday morning… sausage sautee
I’m back from my amazing heritage trip- of which I will share later how I ate my way through both Poland and Czech Republic in separate posts- and back in the kitchen. I’m feeling really lazy since I’ve been back so today I wanted to make something easy and that would remind me about my trip. Thinking about…
Heritage Love- the kolache project- Part 3= making the kolaches
On the day I am leaving for Poland and Czech Republic, I wanted to get this posting out. My heritage trip has become even more amazing as I’ve been able to trace more of my ancestry on both sides of the family much further than anyone has before. I have a specific mission in CR…
mayo-less egg salad with sundried tomatoes and olives
I’m going on a trip and that means I haven’t grocery shopped for a few weeks. That also means the fridge is getting into a desperate state. As non-waster, that also means that whatever is left is going to be eaten before my trip, or it’s heading to the trash. Egg salad. I love it…
One can of pineapple transforms- pizza that sizzles and dessert that satisfies
I love pizza. There I said it. I admit it. I could eat it often. But I don’t because well we all know the reasons why- it’s not healthy or good for you to do that. And I’ve rarely like “order-in” pizza- with the exception of Paxties in SF- but that’s expensive and takes a…
Boozy fruit filling for kolaches (photos)- Heritage Love part 2
The photos that weren’t showing up in my last post… here they are! Boozy Fruit Filling… I cannot tell you how to start off the boozy fruit, but I’m sure you can find hundreds of postings online how to do it. My friends method took a few days start to finish, and there’s rules about…
