New Year 2015

Another Year, another snowy winter!! It is snowing as I blog, we have about 3 inches, hope it will end soon. Started the year by visiting St. Thomas for a nieces destination wedding. What an incredible week, the weather was warm and sunny and our condo was right on a beautiful beach, the wedding was lovely and now I'm dreaming of warm, sunny days!! Lots of new recipes added and I have so many more to try. It's a good day to be in the kitchen.

New Year 2014

Got my Mom's old bread machine out and I'm having fun trying new recipes. Love fresh from the oven warm bread and butter. That's my comfort food!!! Added some new recipes and categories. Be sure to check them out. So far it's been a nasty winter,cold, with lots of snow. Wish I was cruising the Caribbean!!!

New Year 2013

Hi all!!! Where the heck did 2012 go? Almost through the first month of the New Year. I have been home recuperating from surgery and had some more time to review and try new recipes. I posted quite a few to the blog.Crispy chicken, Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs chicken and oven taco's are all kid friendly and got great reviews. The golden parmesan potatoes, two-timing pasta bake and the Italian skillet bread got 2 thumbs up from family and friends. Be sure to check them out.  Still lots of cold weather ahead of us, can't help dreaming about sun, sand and beaches. Stay warm!!!
