Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. I can sill vividly remember the excitement of receiving valentines and decorating boxes in elementary school. The excitement would mount each year through middle and high school. It is a fun, pitter patter kind of day. My family adores brownies of any kind. This picture [...]
It has definitely been a winter to remember…..or not? While we haven’t had any snowfall accumulation and for the most part the weather has been mild, it still seems bone chilling cold to me on many days. What is the best cure for bone chilling cold? Soup, of course. My family adores the old [...]
We are still trying to stay focused on increasing the amount of vegetables in our family meals. Winter is the perfect time to add soup and salad to the menu. While the weather doesn’t make me yearn for the grilled salads of summer, I still turn to leafy greens as often as possible. This Winter [...]

My love of cooking started at a very young age. My mother loved to be in the kitchen and was a fabulous cook. She taught me her “tricks of the trade” and to this day I still call her frequently and ask for her advice. I was thinking about this as I drove to pick [...]

After looking at our calendars, travel schedules, recitals, church music programs, youth retreats, work deadlines, birthdays and many other [...]
This has to be my favorite season of the year. The weather, the leaves and the mood of those all around makes this such a special time. Last year, our dear friends introduced us to a Kansas City treasure that I hadn’t known about. Hard to believe that a die hard foodie like myself missed [...]
This is the beginning of birthday and holiday season in our family. On Saturday night, we celebrated my mother’s birthday and our daughter’s upcoming birthday.
