Hot Chocolate

Welcome back!
What can you do on a cold, snowy, icy winter day?
Drink hot chocolate of course! My obsession with recipe tinkering continues with this one.  This hot chocolate recipe is what I make when I’m craving a cup of frothy, liquid chocolate.  (It also easily doubles to share with a friend or sweetie.)  [...]

Moroccan Spiced Soup Recipe, shared by Peter Walsh

My co-host and I had the pleasure of talking with Peter Walsh recently on our internet radio show, “The O Myth“.  I met Peter at the National Association of Professional Organizers’ Conference this year. Turns out we were both Rotary Youth Exchange Students and we also love to whip stuff up in the kitchen.  In [...]

Persimmon Cookies, Our Holiday Family Tradition

I LOVE this recipe.  It’s my grandmother’s, and I ate these growing up.  Christmas always meant Grandma was making Persimmon cookies.  I had no idea what Persimmons even were until I was an adult, nor did I care.  I just knew that these cookies rocked.
Ahhh the memories…
Several years ago, our family gathered at the beach [...]

Chocolate Cake, My Way

I’m a baker first, cook second.  I’ve been searching for a chocolate cake recipe for a very… long… time.  I’ve made no secret that I’m a Barefoot Contessa fan, and I own nearly every cookbook she’s written.  I love how simple the recipes are, not to mention they are delish.
Sometimes I just can’t leave well [...]

Cranberry, Almond Maple Oatmeal

I love breakfast, no really… I LOVE breakfast.  I even birthed a son who loves breakfast as much as I do.  How do I know?  When I ask him what he’d like for dinner (which is once in a while), guess what his answer is?  You guessed it, “Breakfast.”
I also love oatmeal, and I’m the [...]

Spiced Apple Cake

It’s fall, and there are apples all around here in the Northwest.  A few years ago, I went to Japan with my mother in celebration of her birthday.  My little sister happened to be living in Osaka at the time, so we had a place to stay.  We travelled around and did a fair amount [...]

Turkey & Bean Chili

Something about chili makes my mouth water.  It’s so versatile, and leftovers are even better.  A few years ago a friend of mine, who hails from Texas, gave me a fantastic (and easy) recipe for chili.  I took that recipe and morphed it a bit to suit our tastes.  My husband likes stew that is [...]

Tomato, Cucumber & Red Onion Salad

I love tomatoes out of the garden (like those pictured here).  I make this simple salad a LOT during the summer.  It goes great with our Hummus Dinner or as a side dish to whatever you cook up!  This recipe was inspired by eating out at Lebanese and Greek restaurants (yum!).  Bonus: it’s fast, easy, [...]

Smores at Home

We love camping, but here in the Northwest, we have only about 2 1/2 months of good camping weather.  And who doesn’t love smores?  Sometimes a girl needs toasty marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers beyond the campground.  You’ll be surprised how easy it is!  So when you need Smores during the winter months, here’s how [...]
