Celebrating Life Around The Table
I had these yummy, light and healthy new chicken dish I cooked for my friend Laurie’s birthday last week. I realized tonight that in a quick moment at my nephews game yesterday I deleted all my photos. So, no chicken for you today! My grandmother always made this whipped strawberry jello and cool whip salad [...]
I am always happy when I see Meyer Lemons return to the store. I am a lemon fiend but these are a notch above with a sweeter flavor. I traditionally make lemon risotto with them but decided to try a new take on my favorite recipe. I diced a green chile, several cloves of garlic [...]
December is here and Christmas Cookie baking is in progress. I will have lots to share soon but today wanted to share these delicious Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes. They have a nutty butter taste and make for a great side dish. [...]

Roasted potatoes are so easy and a great side for barbecues. You put them in the oven and forget out about them until the timer goes off. I served them with this Peach Chicken at a outdoor shindig. My first week at work was halted when I came down with some horrid virus. I don’t [...]
