Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can either be a really happy day to celebrate the woman in your life that helped to shape you and guide you.

Discovering that I like Beer…sort of

A few weeks back my big brother and sister-in-law came up to visit me from Texas and we went to a couple of breweries around where I live. Now I would be the first to say I don’t like beer. I don’t the way it smells and have always thought it was bitter. But I […]

Love letter to My Husband

I don’t think we can ever tell the people closest to us how much we love them. I tell my husband every day I love him but I don’t know if he understands the full depth of my love. He is my best friend, my biggest cheerleader and he’s always there to dry my tears […]

Topics from my Brother-part 2

What do you cook with? In sticking with topics that my brother asked me about, he questioned the uptick in popularity of cast iron. He wanted to know why I thought it was all the rage again. To me the simple reason to cook with cast iron is because of its versatility. Today’s cast iron […]
