I love recipes. I have a cookbook addiction and I probably get 6-7 cooking magazines every month. I love food, and I love great recipes. Here you’ll find some great options to put a quick meal on the table, or a great recipe for Sunday dinner or entertaining. I live in a fairly rural area, and our grocery stores don’t promote gourmand tastes. Simple ingredients, great and easy techniques, lead to fabulous meals. Give them a try and please feel free to leave a comment!

We love asparagus and brussels sprouts but they’re seasonal and sometimes VERY expensive. One thing that seems to be available year around, […]
My fellas are out of town this weekend and I’ve got my “bake” on – it’s muffin making time. And a few scones. I found a few recipes on Pinterest that sounded so good – I had to give them a try. Today was Blueberry Almond Muffins – Tomorrow will be Lemon Poppyseed Muffins!
