These muffins have become a favorite in our house. They are my once-a-week treat with my coffee. I wish I could take the credit for the recipe because they are so wonderful. I have adapted the recipe from another great cooking site called The Comfy Belly. I love that name. That’s exactly […]

Lovely Lemon Dressing
Well, I have lost 11 pounds so far. It’s been about 7 weeks since I began eating less carbs and no wheat. I have had to cut back on calories and am exercising more to keep the weight coming off. I definitely plateaued! Bummer. However, I’m still thrilled about the […]
Sharing Perfect Recipes
There are times when I wonder what the content of my blog should be. Should it be only recipes I’ve made up? Should it be recipes I’ve made that were written by other people? Or both? I think I’ve decided it should be both. I love taking photos of food, whether […]
Pinning Instead of Clipping (Plus Slow Cooker Spaghetti Bolognese)
I don’t know why I put off joining Pinterest for so long. I guess I didn’t want to get addicted to yet another thing on the internet. Well, my instincts were right, I probably shouldn’t have signed up, because it is so addicting. And fun! But I think it will […]

J’adore Fromage de Chèvre

Chicken breasts are lightly browned and then baked in a tomato basil cream sauce with sauteed mushrooms in this Chicken in Tomato Basil Cream Sauce. This is one of my favorite chicken recipes. It’s actually one that I clipped from the newspaper a long time ago. I’ve made so many […]
February Cocktail: The Gimlet
I can’t believe February is almost over. I’m glad of it since I can’t wait for spring to come. Although March seems to always be the snowiest month here in Minnesota. Since we haven’t had much snow yet this winter, March might be a doozy! In fact, we have a […]
Clipped Recipe: Creamy Ranch Chicken
I’m still working on organizing all of my recipes clipped from magazines and newspapers. The trouble is that I keep adding to it faster than I can organize it! It doesn’t help that I get even more cooking magazines now. This recipe for Creamy Ranch Chicken has been in my […]
