Yesterday was so dark and stormy, I just had to make another soup! I had never made corn chowder before so I took two recipes that looked pretty good and came up with my own version. It was tasty! My husband and I are currently sick so I took a few shortcuts considering doing anything […]
I have been craving cozy fall comfort foods lately and turned to Everyday Foods for inspiration. They have a recipe for a lighter version of the traditional chicken potpie. It looked great but I wanted to tweak it. Then when I tasted the filling, I changed it. A lot! No, it is not super low […]
The other day I got off the bus and it was pouring. I knew I was coming home to an empty house and very empty kitchen soaking wet. I wanted some serious gourmet comfort food for dinner. For me, that is French Onion Soup. I stopped by the grocery store and bought a bag of […]
For weeks now I have been waking up trying to come up with a recipe for Cold Berry Soup. You see, in the last issue of Victoria Magazine they had a section dedicated to cold soups for the summer. I saw the Old-Fashion Strawberry Soup recipe and thought, no, that is not right. That is […]
I finally found some time and energy to bake recently and came up with my own recipe for these divine cookies! It makes a large batch and I promise you, these are way better if you do not over bake them in the oven. You want them soft and lovely, they are fantastic that way. […]

Shifting gears from cookies to good health…I have recently been doing a lot of research on Alzheimer’s prevention and reading the book The Alzheimer’s Answer. This illness scares the hell out of me and as much as I wanted to put that book down and not think about it, I kept reading on. I found […]
Yes, another mango recipe but hey, they have been half off at my store so I can actually afford them! If there is another fruit out there on sale where you are that you would like to turn into a sorbet instead, go for it. One thing I like about mango is it does not […]
