I’ve been wanting to share this “comfort-food”-themed Gourmet Group meal with you, since I had the pleasure of eating it, a year ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t get photos right away, and then the season had kind of passed. I’m sharing it with you now, because some of the ideas, might work well on your Thanksgiving […]
Halloween Food Fun & a Guessing Game
October 29, 2009 by 5 Comments
My husband is a good sport… I try to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible these days (yes, I’m still pretty pukey, but hopefully will feel better, soon!). So at my request, he made these cute “mummy dogs” for dinner last night. I have seen this kind of thing featured around the […]
Feeling Fall
September 24, 2009 by 7 Comments
Yesterday morning, I stepped outside my front door, and for the first time in months, the air felt cool. Not cool, by most of your standards, but refreshing and crisp, and several degrees cooler than the temperature inside the house (82 degrees).

May 12, 2009 by 7 Comments
Saturday evening we had a Progressive Dinner with all of our neighbors that live on our street (except for a couple that couldn’t make it). It was a lot of fun and a great way to build better relationships with those around us, so I thought I would share. The whole thing was the brainchild […]

April 11, 2009 by 63 Comments
We’re in the middle of full scale Easter preparations around here (report to come next week). But my sister finally sent me pictures of what the mom-to-be called the “coolest baby shower ever!” This is not a party I hosted. I didn’t have to make the cake pops, or mail the invitations. I didn’t even […]
